Thanks all for some posts. The A-Data RAM look pretty good so I'm gonna put those in. As for the GPU, tbh anything better than this 7800 will do the trick. On the Crysis demo, my 7800 did poorly, enough for me to wait until new hardware 'till I play it again. At least medium with good frames...

=O.. I'm on a budget of $300, but its enough for what I need, DDR2, PCIE. Going to use it for Gaming, such as CSS, Crysis, BioShock, games of that sort.. For my mobo, I was goin' for this I have a Pentium D 940 3.4Ghz atm, so when I up to Core2Duo, this mobo already supports it. It...

Hey, so I'm upgrading this Xmas to DDR2 and I first decided just to get a 1gb stick of ram so I could upgrade at a later time, but after reading some forums I decided to just to 2gb, as everyone said its a noticeable jump in performance. But I'm lookin' for two 1gb sticks for about $50. I'm...

What are your clocks at on your x1900gt?

Hey, so what's the difference between the GPU's core clock and memory clock? I'm comparing cards and I see, Card 1: Core Clock 580Mhz ; Memory Clock: 1400Mhz Card 2: Core Clock 600Mhz ; Memory Clock: 1300Mhz Yet card 2 is costs more, and the other specs are the same, i.e. same memory size...

You should probably check what the temps go at for yourself at idle and full load (gaming).

My CPU would bottleneck it. Will have to get a C2D, that plus an 8800 is way above my budget. My budget for a Mobo, RAM, and a GPU has to be around ~$310, so I gotta get a card ~$180, which I'm still lookin' around. But in all reality I would be quite satisfied with anything that beats my...

With my specs in my sigs I ran it at 1024x768, Screen rendering on 100%, post processing on vivid, and world and model texture on 4. It ran at about 30-50fps. Though my card is quite old. UT3 is pretty fun tho.

Yah, that's another factor. So adding on a C2D is another budget breaker in my situation. I've read some review some cards and I'm kinda goin' toward the x1900xt, but it may break my budget leaving me the x1950pro or a 7900

Yeah, I wouldn't either and that's why I'm not going to buy a better AGP card. I'm planning on getting a new mobo for pcie and ddr2, which is what I'm trying to configure atm. I don't mind being on Dx9 so I want to at least max out(or close) on Dx9 settings, but I can't add on an 8800 as it...

I was watching out for Quake Wars some time ago and it looked great, but playing the demo I was actually disappointed. I watched many videos of it and just couldn't wait but finally playing it for myself felt crushing, haha. Unreal Tournament 3 was really fun, thought I am not good at it at...

Can't go with an 8800 because I have to switch to a new mobo, and a stick of ram.Plus an 8800 would add to be too much to get right now. So I gotta get somethin' cheaper, anyone recommend this ASUS 7900? It's an openbox meaning it doesn't come with the CD with drivers, easier just to get them...

Hey So I'm tryin' to find a good budget mobo at around ~$100. I have a Pentium D 3.4Ghz, need a DDR2 800 slot I think I should get at least 2 slots for 2gb of ram, and PCIE slot but I have no idea how many PCIEx1 slots it should have, and I don't think I'll go SLI anytime soon but I do plan on...

Thx for the responses, sry but I failed to mention that I'm making the switch to PCI-E from AGP. Would the x1950Pro still be the best choice?

Hey all great forums btw.. So I'm lookin' to upgrade this Xmas as I'm still on DDR and AGP. My Specs right now are: Pentium D 3.4GHz DDR 1gb RAM BFG 7800gs oc agp I obviously gotta up my gpu and ram. I would but I can't get an 8800 now because of the mobo and ram I have to buy, the...
