I picked up a Gateway HD2200 Last night from BB and I must tell you it is excellent at least coming from my Samsung 930b. I wasn't able to do much since I didn't get home till late but I did fire up a few games to see how things looked and I was very impressed. I am not to smart on Monitors but...

If I have Vista 32-bit installed and I upgrade to Vista 64-bit will it keep all of my programs or do I have to reinstall everything and change my settings?

Yeah its a 4 days stress test. It sounds like it could be interesting, might as well check it out. I hope sony doesn't up the price of my station pass now.

I am a FP Founders club member. I think it is like 60 buck a year. No fuss at all. Something that I want comes out I go get it. I click on the maximum speed link and away things go. people are just being cheap. Some of you guys are really wired. FP sucks because their free service sucks so I...

Yeah it installed when I intalled the game. I was just curious if I needed the card to go along with it.

I just installed Porates of the Bunring Sea beta in preperation for the beta that starts tommarrow. When I installed it, I was kind of miffed because it said that PhysX was required. Does this mean that people are going to have to have a PhysX card now or is PhysX just additional software?

Runs wonderful on the 8800 Ultra. Crytek is trying to walk a fine line of pushing graphics to the limit but making it nice enough that most of the gaming community can run it and enjoy it also.

Hmmm. I had a 8800 GTS 320 and played Crysis on medium and had no problems. I just picked up an 880 Ultra and play on high and still have no problems. I don't understand what all the moaning and groaning is about.

Get a EVGA 8800 Ultra. You have 90 days to "step up" with it so if something new comes out that you like you can step up and upgrade for the difference.

I had to show the GF that scene, she loved it also. The music fits perfectly with the action. Best cut scene so far.

My GF has a Presario R3000 laptop (I had nothing to do with that choice, it was before me) I know you can dual boot XP and VISTA from the same machine but she has it in her head that she wants to put Vista on an external HD and boot from there. Is this possible? She is a soon to be Architect...

Thanks a lot everyone for the advice, especially enginurd, I just wanted to avoid any more costly mistakes if I could, but I am sure I will make more. Especially since I am now learning about Oc'ing. I fully expect to fry something in the near future. So now my only choice is should I get the...

I like that. I will get a 680i though and give her my system because I am eventually going to want Sli since once I get the system how I want it I will upgrade the monitor then get the Sli card so I will want to retain the option of putting Sli in. I didn't want to have to reinstall everything...

Honestly I really don't have a budget for it as I am going to get it done over the next couple months. So I will say around $1500. But I planned on salvaging parts that I was going to upgrade on my system to help build hers. So for hers I just need the Case, MB, CPU, GPU, HD, DVD, and PS. If I...

I tried to do the online upgrade and it said it couldn't be found so I called MS about it and they said I could not upgrade and that it would not recognize the key since it was OEM. But I will see about getting a 64 bit DVD and trying it.
