    Would this be a good idea?

    So do you recommend the switch? I need more opinions please. Because if I can go with a 9800 Pro I can probably fit in 2GB of RAM.

    Would this be a good idea?

    I'll be going skt 939 and getting a new videocard (I have an Intel P4 3.06ghz Northwood Core skt 478 and FX5700LE 256mb 128-bit AGP8x videocard right now) and I am thinking of upgrading to AMD 64 3000+ and a 9800 Pro 128mb (or 256mb) 256-bit AGP8x card BUT with this motherboard (AsRock...

    6600GT or X800GT?

    Well I'd rather not shop online at the moment so I guess X800GT it is. Thanks for all your help guys!

    6600GT or X800GT?

    I don't even play Doom 3 but I play HL2. But I also want this to play FEAR and STALKER and Far Cry and games like that...will I be able to?

    6600GT or X800GT?

    The X800GT is cheaper but the 6600GT has SM3.0 and some other features. Also, should I get the 256mb version of the X800GT? Also, the X800GT is cheaper.

    help make a choice :-)

    The motherboard is fine and I don't see a need to change anything. You might want to get OCZ, Corsair, or Crucial RAM if you want. Good brands for the 6600GT are MSI, Leadtek, Galaxy, Gigabyte, BFG, and XFX. Other people may have different opinions about certain brands but those are 90% non fail.

    Help transferring files to new PC without formatting?

    Okay so this is my problem. I'm getting my new system and I want to keep my files on my current harddrive and just use it with my new system. What do I have to do to do that? Is there a program I need? Do I need to do anything technical? Because I don't want to redownload all my Steam games...

    Is this a good PC?

    Well could you recommend something that I should get instead of being so brutal? You're a diamond member, I expected a more helpful post.

    CoolerMaster Centurion 5 case

    Well I guess I can always upgrade to a new case later on. I'm not worried wire management and I can deal with that myself. This case seems to have decent cooling...I guess I can mount some fans and customize it a little.

    Thanks guys! I'm looking forward to it!

    will you use VT?

    Hmm that would be weird. Special motherboards and stuff. That would be cool though. Then you can blame the other person for lag when you're playing CSS and he's unzipping a 4GB movie and rendering a photo all at once. I'd prefer uno user per PC.

    Finally finished building my new computer

    Well it looks great and wire management looks incredibly good! For the bad things you say about it, it looks great and sounds like it performs good too. It's too bad you had BIOS problems and constant BSOD'ing. I have a P4 right now and it does great in multitasking so apparently I'm not missing...

    Which NV Silencer should I get?

    Oh okay thanks. I guess I'll just get the PCI-E version.

    How much longer will 1GB last?

    How much longer will 1GB last?

    I was just wondering as I remember not too long ago that everyone thought 2GB wasn't worth the money and wouldn't be for quite a while. What do you guys think?

    Which NV Silencer should I get?

    There are so many different numbers and I'm not too sure as to which one I should buy...any help would be great. I'm fitting it on a 6600GT AGP.

    Removing and Installing CPU HSF?

    Thanks guys. I'm removing a stock HSF and replacing it with a Zalman 7000B-AlCu HSF on my P4 3.06ghz Northwood core 533mhz FSB skt 478 CPU.

    Am I underestimating how good the 6600GT really is?

    For all of you wondering why the X800XL is $400 is because I live in Canada...I would have thought you all would catch on that after a little bit but that's my fault for not saying anything. Anyways, I guess I'll be heading with the 6600GT that way I can get all the other essentials also. I will...

    ?? Please stay on topic as this is a very important topic that I need to be discussed/resolved so that I can go ahead and pick up my PC.

    Am I underestimating how good the 6600GT really is?

    I'm not fairly confident in used products, as I like to get the best of the best with the money I have. Although your points are fairly valid, I'd like to hear from more members before making any conclusions. Thanks though Jon.

    Am I underestimating how good the 6600GT really is?

    Is the 6600GT really that bad? My cousin has an X800XT PE but he gets stutters and such which kind of pulls me away from ATI. But then again there are some other things that I could think of that may be causing them (he has his P4 2.4 Northwood OC'd to 3.4ghz on air though I lowered it to 3.3ghz...

    Am I underestimating how good the 6600GT really is?

    So what would be the best possible route for me to take? I have to last on this PC for at least a year, so...any thoughts?

    Am I underestimating how good the 6600GT really is?

    In my head it just doesn't seem like it'll hold up to all the recent games, but is it actually a good performer worth buying this late into it's production? Because if I do I can ready my PC for when I get a better videocard (something from the R500 line from ATI). But if I get an x800XL, I'll...

    Which brand is more reliable? Raidmax or NZXT?

    I've decided to get the Raidmax case and PSU to go with my SLI setup.

    Which brand is more reliable? Raidmax or NZXT?

    I'm thinking of getting a new gaming case with a power supply. I'll be running the PSU for a max of 1 year until I move so I need the overall most best case out these choices. * NZXT Nemesis * Raidmax Scorpio Any comments/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Win2k or WinXP?

    I have a copy of Win2k that I can use and I was wondering if it would be okay to game on that for a while till I get a copy of WinXP? Is Win2k a good enough OS for gaming? Are there any limitations or instabilities/issues I have to worry about while gaming?

    My first build, what do you guys think? (Budget $900 CDN)

    Yeah I'm getting 2 raptors and an SLI board in a bout 10 months. The ram is Value OCZ RAM and it's in dual channel. I forgot to post it.

    MSI or Leadtek?

    Yes I'll be buying a Thermaltake Schooner GPU Cooler later on. I was just worried it's going to overheat and I won't even be able to use it. Should I use something to clamp it to the board or will it be okay stock?

    My first build, what do you guys think? (Budget $900 CDN)
