    Purchasing question: 9600 vs. 8800GT vs. 8800GTS

    Well I went with the 9600, got one for $130 Canadian, and I'll plan on SLIing when I can find another one on sale for a similar price.

    Purchasing question: 9600 vs. 8800GT vs. 8800GTS

    Good to know on the GTS, thanks. If I were going to overclock, would a 9600 or an 8800GT likely yield better results? I think I'm leaning more and more to SLI 9600, if I go by the [H]OCP review I will hopefully be able to play Crysis on fairly high settings @ 1650 res. Any reason for...

    Purchasing question: 9600 vs. 8800GT vs. 8800GTS

    Time to buy a new graphics card for my rig, and I'm having some trouble deciding on a couple of different models. Reading through the forums has led me to mixed reviews for the most part. I can get my a 9600gt for $130, an 8800gt for $170 and a GTS 640 version for $200. All of these seem...

    Buying an E3400, wondering what type of RAM to get 3.1+

    If I went with a cheaper mobo, perhaps a Gigabyte 965-P or something similar, would I still be able to achieve similar results? Or is the overclock with the cheap ram dependent on the Mobo?

    Buying an E3400, wondering what type of RAM to get 3.1+

    Topic pretty much sums it up. I'm planning to overclock an E3400 on a 680i board, and am trying to figure out what speed of RAM I need to be getting to overclock to 3 Ghz. I live in Canada, but see a really good deal on " OCZ PC2-5400 1GB DDR2-667"...

    Buy now? Or Wait?

    So I am in the process of building a new computer for Vista. My question is after having watched memory prices vary by hundreds of dollars for similar items based on what largely seems like distributor's whim, am I better off buying memory now, @ the price they are currently at? Or should I wait...
