keep 6800gt (upgrade mb/cpu) or go 1950gt agp?

Update time. Just in case anyone else is in a similar situation. The new card arrived today. I put it in and ran some tests. I ended up buying a HIS X1950 pro 256. It has a very nice cooler and seems noticeably quieter than the 6800GT. I can hear my Hard drive much more distinctly. Looks...

keep 6800gt (upgrade mb/cpu) or go 1950gt agp?

Thanks for the replies everyone. I did research the asrock board quite a bit and found that it was only a pciX4 not 16 slot. So I would probably upgrade the motherboard down the road if I went with new pci-express video card anyway. The reason I asked is that I don't want to spend more...

keep 6800gt (upgrade mb/cpu) or go 1950gt agp?

Been out of the gaming world for a couple years. My current gaming computer is a NF7-s with 2500 barton, BFG 6800GT, and 1gb ram. I recently started playing Warhammer 40k with the newest expansion and those damn necrons make it slooowww in big battles. Especially noticeable when the necrons...

I want a PDA

I don't know much about the lifedrive, except that it is a lot thicker physically than the TX. I think it comes with lots and lots of memory too. Regarding the TX, I am pretty sure it will only take up to 1gb SD cards. For me the TX is almost perfect. Right size, good battery life, great...

I want a PDA

Umm, OK. If you want a windows-based one that is your choice. We use both at work and have people that simply prefer one or the other. If you can go to the store and play with each you could make a better decision. I just changed from from an ipaq with wireless and bluetooth to the palm...

Console Emulator PC Project

I don't have experience with the 6100 vid card, but I did something similar and tried the onboard video first. In my case it was a the RS480 chipset and a celeron. It seemed to work okay. I had it in a this case and everything was getting too hot and it was cpu throttling. This case is only...

Most spectacular failure in video card history

Edit: Sorry, posted before reading entire thread. I still say the ATI Rage Maxx should have been listed in the poll. I remember wanting one when I first heard about it. Lucky for me that I couldn't buy one until the issues with it were well known. I see the problems mentioned that were...

Couple of laptop questions

I have an HP L2000 which is a Turion with the chipset you mentioned. I am pretty sure that this chipset relies on shared memory with the system memory. I could be wrong, but I would be surprised for you to find a Express 200M w/ dedicated memory. I think "hypermemory" is just marketing speak...

need low profile heatsink reccomendation (478)

I have this case, and I like it, but it is very thin. It only takes those low profile pci cards. Right now I have the stock intel heatsink and fan, but it is very noisy and even it is so close to the edge of the case that it changes sound when you put the top on it. Anyone got any good...

Does this exist?

I have been to a couple of presentations where there was no computer. The projector had a built in media reader. I think it was a Compact flash reader. I am pretty sure the presenter said that he had to export the powerpoint to jpgs and then just used the forward and reverse buttons on the...

6600GT,6800GT,X800Pro, or X800XL for BF2??

I have almost the same system as you. I only have 1 gig of ram, but I do have a AGP BFG 6800 GT OC. BF2 runs great. Granted I havn't been on any ranked or 64 player servers yet, but am very pleased with how well this game runs on my computer. In fact I was worried, cause I kept reading about...

Adapter for hard drives???

Sorry for taking so long to respond. If your just worrying about cloning the drive then the adapter is all you need and use your desktop to make the image. You could even get two and use a desktop computer and clone them or make an image file. If you have the full version of ghost you...

How can I re-install XP Pro on a machine that already has SP2?

Are you in windows when your trying to start the install? You should be able to do what you want by booting from the xp cd. I would check out Autostreamer, and make your own slipstreamed sp2 disk, then start over with a formatted drive.
