F.E.A.R. runs sluggish for me on high quality at higher resolutions too but Quake4 runs smooth as silk on its high quality setting. If I were to try to run F.E.A.R. on high quality I'd want to have two 7800 GTX 512 cards in SLI, one card alone doesn't seem to cut it on that setting.

Is BFG really better than MSI? The MSI version has OCing capability built into its software. I am assuming the rush for BFG is due to it's OC'd hardware, is that why people are after those above the MSI 7800 GTX 512?

Can my GeForce 6800 128 MB AGP video card be repaired somewhere? Does anyone have any schematics which show the component values for the chip capacitors I knocked off of the board trying to change out my HD? These guys are so small I didn't even know I did it until it quit working and I looked...

Will the FX-60 use socket 939... I could google it, but now that we are on the subject... Edit: I googled it: http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=27283 available in both 940 and 939 sockets according to the article at the above link

I'm dreaming of a better CPU for my DFI Lanparty nF4 SLI-D mobo than my AMD 64 3500+. What CPU would you put in it if money weren't an issue? X2? How high will the dual core CPU's go while remaining socket 939?

I was hoping I didn't have to. Good reasoning though plus the WindowsXP reload was good for getting rid of adware viruses which always seem to find there way into my system and difficult to shake loose from.

Thanks again for your help everyone, appreciate it. I didn't memtest my RAM, I understand that would have been a good thing to do but I am not up to speed on testing memory and have never downloaded a program to do so yet... I ran off to buy that power supply before I had responses, the...

3Dmark05 score of 9090: MSI 7800 GTX 512 (non SLI setup). Computer: AMD 64 3500+ socket 939. Mobo: DFI Lanparty uF4 SLI-D. Memory: Crucial 2.5 cas 512 MB X 2 (1 GB). No overclocking on anything. My MSI GeForce 7800 GTX 512 came with software for it that had a OC tweaking control panel built...

I got my DFI Lanparty nF4 SLI mobo working yesterday and installed a MSI GeForce 7800 GTX 512 GPU. I ran the free version of 3Dmark05 and had a score of 8770 using a single stick of 512 MB DDR 400 RAM on the mobo but when using two 512 MB sticks the benchmark score improved to 8974 with the AMD...

I ran off to CompUSA before I had a chance to see any of your responses. Thanks, but I have a new 500 watt ps installed which has the 24 pin power connector. Only problem I have now is getting the thing to work, it posts and goes through everything just fine until the WindowsXP OS starts to boot...

I'm miffed.... I had no clue and the salesman made no mention. Guess that means I have to make another 3 hour round trip into town again for a new power supply if I want this going tonight?

What the hell? My DFI nF4 SLI-D mobo has a different power connector! Can anyone tell me what is up with this power connector, I go to upgrade my computer and it has a power connector on the motherboard with additional pins on it!!! The mobo book calls it an "ATX" power supply and makes no...

I guess this puts a big crush on gaming LCD notebooks.... unless they build a CRT version, lol.

BTW: Mwave still shows them in stock on their web site: http://www.mwave.com/mwave/DeepSearch.hmx?scriteria=7800+gtx+512&ALL=y&TP=3 but the price is only for those who are willing to spend too much... (like me, mine being delivered today). - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -...
