...and I currently have an 8800GTS G92. What should I do? Is there anything I can even step up to?

RAM was the first thing I thought it was. I tried each stick individually and ran memtest on both before I even ever went to Soyo's website to look up the problem. The memory is brand new from Crucial. Had to RMA one stick about a month ago but had to turn in the set so what I got back from...

Rebooted my computer the other day and it locked up on "Checking NVRAM". I checked the SOYO website for support and it's listed 3 possiblities. 1. An IDE device might be faulty 2. Your power supply may be defective 3. Your boot priority may not be set correctly I've disconnected the...

What about the XXX Edition of this card? Is it for sale yet? Can't find it anywhere.

This is actually why I originally asked about XFX vs BFG. I want the XFX 8800GTS 512MB XXX Edition but I can't find the damn thing anywhere. Granted, it was just released yesterday, but all of the other new G92 GTSs are for sale. So it's either wait for the XFX to show up on newegg or get...

Getting a new card today but can't pick between the BFG or XFX version. They're nearly identical. Which company do you prefer?

There's a standard and XXX edition. That's the standard.

I've been a big fan of Logitech mice for years. Whatever you end up going with, make sure you get one with side thumb buttons. They're a life-saver when it comes to a FPS and make a handy back button when surfin'.

XFX 8800GTS 512MB Alpha Dog Edition Anyone seen the XXX Edition for sale anywhere yet? It's the last piece to my new gaming rig & can't seem to find it anywhere.

crashthenet linked me to all the info on the new GTS. I want the XFX version and even found their page talking about it. I just haven't been able to find the XXX Edition for sale anywhere yet.

Ok. I'll just keep an eye out for it. Well, I say I'm not going to OC now, but you know as soon as I get this baby up and running I'm going to change my mind and see what else I can squeeze out of it.

Yeah, took me a minute comparing to realize that was the only difference. I'm a lazy ass when it comes to MIRs so I'll just probably just stick with the LEDs. I'm not really going to be modding the inside of the tower so anything blinky is better then nothing I guess. I've got the OS...

Ok... 4G Crucial Ballistix Tracer DDR2 800 instead of 2G Crucial Ballistix Tracer DDR2 1066 Twice the memory and only $20 more How do I identify a "new" GTS? Looking them up on newegg, I find a BUNCH of 8800GTSs. What should I be looking for?

So here's the new breakdown: CPU - Intel Core2 Duo E6850 Conroe 3.0GHz Heatsink - ASUS V-60 CPU Cooler [Added] Motherboard - ASUS P5K-E [Changed] Video Card - XFX GeForce 8800GTX Extreme Memory - 2G Crucial Ballistix Tracer DDR2 1066 [Changed] Power Supply - Corsair 620HX PS [Changed]...

Thanks for the advice. You've definetly steered me away from the Striker and will most likely be going with the ASUS P5K-E. As for the video card, would I be better off going SLI with 2 GTs then 1 GTX? I can get 2 8800GTs for only about $100 more then 1 GTX. As for the monitor, I'm...
