The card is for a friend, he doesn't do any gaming but he does a lot of graphic work. I'm helping him spec out his new machine. For a video card, he's just looking for a good deal around $150.
so far we've come up with evga nforce 650i ultra, gskill 4gb ddr2 800, intel conroe e6600, antec...
it's worth it, i just upgraded after 5 yrs, core 2 is awesome, you'll be able to run multiple programs and still play games with everything running--wallet pain will fade ;)
apparently the neo has compatibility problems with some of the new asus boards. Call Antec and give them your serial # (on the side of your PSU) they'll tell you if it falls within the range of incompatible PSU's and RMA it for free, just need to produce a receipt. Trust me, It sucks to get all...
yeah, hope so, I actually bought my 7800 gt in January, At the time my upgrade was only going to take a month or so. That turned into about 11 months...So I actually got the card right before the 7900's came out...damn it!! It's alright though because futureproofing a pc is not possible, as...
right thing to do: call rma people

what i'd do: ebay or craigslist...yes, i feel guilty! :)

makes me feel much better about spending so much. This will be my first build in about 4 yrs . I can't wait till overclocking jargon is no longer sounds like a different language. I'll let ya'll know how it goes. Do you have any suggested reading for me? Overclocking guides? I've read a lot...
was this a good buy? Will this memory overclock well? I've never spent this much on memory, my hope is this will last me for a while. i've never overclocked either but when I decide to give it a try I'm hoping this memory will hold up well. So what so ya'll think?? ;)
