    X1650XT AGP: HIS 512MB or PowerColor 256MB

    In short, my beloved 9600Pro has been dying slowly over the past 2 years (check my previous posts on the mysterious behavior), and I'm really not ready to upgrade to a PCI-e system just yet, given I don't do much with my computer anymore. Still, I want a video card that can support some gaming...

    RAID 1, Matrix RAID

    I'm thinking about moving my system onto a RAID-1 configuration so I don't lose valuable data (I do routine backup, but only when I have time, which isn't very often). Since I've never dealt w/ RAID before, I'd appreciate any help in answering some of the questions I have: 1. For most RAID...

    I'm seriously considering buying this card as my last AGP before I make the swooping upgrade to Core 2 Duo and such. Has anyone has any experience or know of anything (good or bad) about this card? Specifically, I'm not looking for anything that'd blow me away -- I'm only upgrading from a...

    Upgrade to ATI 9800 Pro

    I'm planning to upgrade from 9600 Pro to 9800 Pro 256MB (yeah, I'm lagging behind by a few generations). The upgrade will mainly be for the new effects and such that I want to use in the next genration of RTS coming out (so FPS is not really a huge concern). Questions: 1. Do you guys think...
