what is the Vanguard 128MB PC133 ram compatible with? I have an intel 810 flex board that needs more ram

okay, from what I read so far, ur preparation looks pretty good (I think a differnt PSU is unnecessary, coolermaster is a rename of a pretty good brand) Is AMD a possibility? You may find things a little easier power/heat-wise with a Winny AMD64, get different ram...save money on shipping w/ a...

read: you don't trust nvidia based on vague BS you saw in some forum some time that supported your "ATI rules" agenda...my MSI 6600gt kicks ass...no problems. And I'm not really a lucky person so my trust statue w/ nvidia is high. Garbage? have you owned one? You said you wouldn't even buy...

thats not the same thing...at all. Besides the NV43 has its upsides, particularly the purevideo capabilities, which would be nice to see on a 6800 gt/ultra type card or nvidia is just effin lazy. :D

specifically with regards to nvidia's nv48, what stops them from combining the best of the 6600gt/6800ultra? e.g. 6600gt = 128 MB, 500mhz core, 1000 mhz GDDR3, 8 pipes, 128-bit, purevideo capable 6800U = 256 MB, 400mhz core, 1100mhz GDDR3, 16 pipes, 256-bit, no purevideo...

well look, I said A distro, not every linux distro...I have SuSE and I like it, I think its a step in that direction I was referring to, but its not for everyone. Thats true for just about every distro for Linux: some like it, others preferr another distro. The problem is is that there is no...

Why? Because I can't figure it out? No...it's for the good of the thousands upon thousands of suffering individuals with a Dell PC and are stuck with Windows XP and AOL optimized 9.0 with lightspeed technology (although I suppose it cant really help out the latter) its for people who have...

what else would optimize my DVD playing abilities? nvdvd? purevideo (i have a 6600gt)? ffdshow? anything else?

with regards to obvious fan-boyism running about, I fail to understand why some people feel they have to defend to the death the idea that their brand/model video card is THE BEST video card...does it run the games you like satisfactorily? Then its a good video card, no denying it. I recently...

i don't get it talonz...why would he be able to use omega drivers if he couldnt use catalyst drivers?

nope looks like u r sol. linky

well first of all htpc forum is more appropriate for this topic, but I think you want none of the above (although I'm not familiar with the avermedia one)...what you want is the Hauppauge PVR-150MCE...go to PCalchemy.com

depends on what the rest of ur system is like

I dont think evga would be the way to go unless you really want to upgrade again three months later (is the video card really going to change that much in three months?) just buy a 6600gt or a 6800nu (or oc a radeon x800 non-pro) and be happy. I personally think evga hsf's are horrifyingly...

well, as an owner of the MSI 6600gt (AGP flavor, not the PCI-E) I am VERY pleased with my purchase and I would encourage anyone to get this over practically any other 6600gt agp (BFG or Leadtek would be good choices too, I think) The HSF mounting is solid in my view, no problems speeding up the...
