would SLI or Crossfire make a difference in Hi-Def movie playback or should i consider sticking to 1 card with more vid memory...

I am currently sitting on an 939 AMD 3200+ and a 7800GT 256mb and 2gb of Ram. Honestly with as little as I use my computer for gaming anymore, suprisingly this has been working for me. I just bought a samsung 52" LCD and I've been using it as my monitor. The issues are a).7800GT...

The PSU seems to work. You get to keep your nuts. However, my compuer doesn't like the new SATA I installed. I want to switch over to it. Perhaps I'll post it in a new post.

I just went out and bought a PSU. I figure if it doesn't work, I get 2 nuts out of it. :P

I'll go out and get a multimeter, and no I don't know how to use it...

I was on the computer yesterday the computer locked up on a webpage, I restart, it runs fine the rest of the day. This morning I turned it on, and it freezes at the BIOS logo screen; I restart, gets to Windows loading screen, locks up; I restart, freezes at BIOS logo. I figure its a HD...

This is a setting i rarely touch. Default is off. I was always under the impression this slowed down a fps. It sync's the adapter an monitor, right? Well just recently i was playin City of Villians with a friend. We have the same exact computer barring our video cards. He has a 128mb...

I hear you man. I played everything at 1024x768 rarely went up. I just recently jumped to the 7800gt from the 9800xt. Big difference. Plus it leaves some growing room. My big thing was quality. So I'd usually stick my games on the set resolution and up the quality. Well found out that...

Just out of curiosity how big is that mobo?!? I just got this case and thought I'd add in my 2 cents. I have a full atx, 2 optical drives and 2 IDE HDD's The only space issues worth mentioning on this case is the 2 120's in the bak leave little room for any mobo connection risers (DFI ULTRA-D...

I have been jumping back and forth between Nvidia and ATI for a few years now. My last two cards were ATI. I like this card, but the driver support really hurts my opinions of the card. The card is great, but the drivers are horrible. I couldn't play Battlefield Vietnam for at least 3-4...

thx for all the good advice guys. I have done a little research and now my decsions are between the 6800gt(agp) or going full boat and doing th 7800gt+pci-e. Still not sold on that last bit, since the card is so expensive. But i have seen it for sub 300's, that would bring my total up above...

eh, maybe it's time to start hiding money. :P I am not sure about pci-e, but if I dump money into a video card, i don't want to have to do it again next time i upgrade my mobo... Those 6800GT's don't look to bad, but i haven't owned a NVIDIA in a while, whats a good brandname for them? Do...

Excellent read! Thanks! It's not often i find reviews written with test rig's comparable to mine in the resolutions I actually use! I am pleasantly suprised to see that it doesn't matter much of what I jump to, it looks to be a nice boost across the board. There seems to be a pretty...

It's that time again. Every two years or so i go an replace my video card. On the off years i upgrade my cpu and the rest of the components. In the past, i have ran right out and went with just under the top of the line. Regardless of the cards, i end up doing about a month or so of digging...

what makes you say that?

Not really looking to upgrade more, per say. I'm looking for the best bang for my buck. I have more money planned for the upgrade, but what I'm looking for is the best performer for what I am trying to do, gaming. So the only thing I am not dead set on is the CPU and MOBO. Now I have...

I am currently running a P4 [email protected] with 1gb@2700 of corsair and a Asus 9800 256/modded to XT all on an Asus mobo. I am looking to build my wife and child a computer but this screams a perfect opportunity to upgrade my system! I have about $320-$350 for a cpu and mobo... What do you all...
