I'll try to explain my situation as best I can.
About a week ago, my computer worked fine. Then it started freezing. I would turn on the computer, the OS would load fine, everything...
Those motherboards would be attractive had I not purchased a premium s754 mobo. It would basically come down to if the downgrade of a mobo would be worth the upgrade of a video card. The card I would get would be the 7800GT.
Athlon 64 3200+ s754
MSI K8N Neo Plat
1 GB PC3200
Radeon 9800 PRO 128 MB
Now I had two options. Would I want to toss my system, and get a new motherboard, CPU, and video card or keep my now good/decent system and video card. Now clearly Nvidia and ATI have been very slow on the next-gen...
Cool deal. I have a friend who is a cat person, and they would love this.
Wow great Christmas present for your SO. Nothing more romantic then some cat litter. :rolleyes:

I was talking to my family last night about Black Friday and they thought I was crazy for waking up at 6 to go to a store to shop. I guess I am just extremely frugal.
Put one on auto-notify even thought it will most likely be till after Christmas I will actually have a chance at getting one.
Doesn't matter since I didn't plan on buying one till I got a HDTV anyway.
Since there are so many black friday threads floating around, it might be easier to just separate them into one thread. Posting adscans, deals, etc. Also what you think you will be/might be getting. I also figure this would be a good opprotunity since we all are mostly interested in the same...
I suppose if you choose to read only the first question out of four. Here is a refresher for you guys:
So ok, most likely neither will release a new AGP card. So what should I do? Buy a new video card (for my pretty decent system) or just keep my 9800 PRO. Or the possible third option of...
Please refrain from posting comments like that. All the benchmarks we have seen have shown that AGP can keep up with PCI-E. Why do I need to upgrade to a new board (and possible CPU) when it has shown minimal performance gains?
Right now I am looking at these two:
VisionTek Radeon X850XT...
Understood, but you have all jumped on the bandwagon without answering my question. My Athlon 64 is still mid-high end. I don't need to upgrade it and I don't want to go down to a sub-par socket 754 mobo. It makes no sense to sacrifice a quality mobo.
...to release a high-end AGP card. In late June with the launch of the 7800GTX, I thought it would only be a matter of time before Nvidia/ATI to launch an AGP card. 6800GTs, 6800 Ultras, X850XT, etc were readily available, but I decided to hold on.
Four months later there still has not been a...
On my 20.1" VP201b I have one dead pixel in the left-middle side, it isn't that easy to notice. Usually when the screen is busy (video games, movies, anything with multiple colors) it takes a little effort to see it.
*Sigh*
Bought the DVD edition of F.E.A.R. last night at BB for $55. :(
I promised myself I should always buy games online since they are cheaper. Stupid impulsive self.
The collectors edition of WoW came with a free 10-day trial. Basically the CE came with a CD version, a DVD version of WoW, a regular CD key, and the trial CD key. You give the version of the game to someone you know and the trial CD key. However when you sign up, you still need to put a credit...
Sweet, I'm not the only one in the same situation. Maybe we could make this the official "WTF should I do with my good system with a 9800 PRO?"
I mostly play World of Warcraft, and I'm not even able to run 1600x1200 with my current rig, most likely do to my 9800 PRO. Eitherway, I think buying...
