ok cool. Also, I was reading up a bit, and am wondering about my psu. I have Antec's SL400, will that be enough for 7800 GS/ 6800 GT? I also have asus A8V mobo, 1 hdd, soundblaster audigy 2, 2 fans, cdrom drive and dvdrom drive.

I have an athlon 64 3500+ Can it use the Geforce 7800 GS or 6800 GT to its full potential/ will it bottleneck (not exactly sure what that is)?

thanks for all the help! I will probably wait and get a pci-e mobo, then a new video card.

are there any cards that have pixel shader 3.0 and an agp slot (not pci-e)?

well I need to stick to AGP (my mobo is Asus A8V)

how do i know if it has shader 3.0? does it have to do with pixel pipelines (i'm looking on newegg, and it doesn't say anything about shader)

any good, cheap, 3.0 cards you (anyone) can recommend?

When I open the system window from the control panel, it tells me I have my Athlon 64 3500 but under that it says 2.2 ghz: what does that mean? I also used 3dmark06, and it says the 2.2 ghz is my "Internal Clock" This does not mean my computer is running slower than it should, right? Is it...

I installed Splinter Cell Double Agent, and it needs at least a 128mb video card with pixel shader 3.0 My Radeon x800 has shader 2.0. is there any way to upgrade to 3.0 without buying a new video card?

thankyou both very much!

1st off: believe it or not, I (for the most part) have tried to research these questions, although after a certain point there are so many different things that you get tired, so thanks for bearing with my possibly noob questions :p I know some questions belong in different forums, but 1)...

haha just looked it up again, and there is the swordfish! but nothing on the outlaw star mod. I uninstalled freelancer a while ago, and don't really feel like playing again. I used some really big mod (don't remember the name atm) which added "The Nexus" and a bunch of galaxies including star...

i can't remember where, but at some point I heard it was bad to turn on Full Screen Antialiasing and Anisotropic Filtering in game options and in my video card options (i.e. Catalyst Control Center, or ATI Tray Tools w/Omega drivers). Is this true?

mods for freelancer: http://www.lancersreactor.com/t/ i loved freelancer now i've also moved to x3. does anybody know the animes outlaw star or cowboy bebop? i would love to have those ships in a mod, but i've never seen it...

i installed omega 6.5 drives correctly. Now, I'm re-reading the notes/ FAQ to make sure I've done everything 100%, and I see (again): so, i open Ati Tray Tools (comes with Omegadriver) and click display and then settings because it's the only place I can find anything on DDC (i tried going...
