As i said earlier i have mainly 2 system one that i have all too myself and dont let anyone touch it. They other one is a rather old P4 "LGA775" with a 6800 Ultra combo. This system is use by everyone else for movies to light games.."Two words BEAN bags"
Now yesterday the dam GPU had a power issue which i taught at the time was a SPMS problem after changing the dam SMPS the prob. stayed and when i got the 6800 checked it was found that the card has died due to some reason...!!!
I had earlier taught about upgrading that machine when the Deneb and Nehelem were released later this year.. Now i have to buy a card or go on with the upgrade!!
So should i buy a 3850 AGP which will take about a month to reach here because i have to special order it or wait and upgrade it to a 4850 single with a cheap amd/intel processer OCed offcourse + new m/b "Because this one does have LGA775 but no PCIe.
If i buy the 3850 i will get of cheap and will not have to spend so much on upgrade's but 3850 AGP worked out to be more expensive than a 4850 in India and i felt that was a rub...!!
