<0> i ordered a 19" dell CRT instead of the default 15" for +100
<0> they sent me a 20" LCD :-D
<1> :O
<0> they told me to keep it, cause the shipping cost to replace would be more then the moniter to them :-X
<1> lol
<1> lucky you
<2> I actually think this is too much monitor for one man
<3> hi
<4> how do you guys think this system will do, list: http://img85.imageshack.us/img85/9878/asd2bf.jpg
<1> you think you really need a 400 dollar card
<1> the system will be smoking
<1> dont get me wrong, but in terms of acual value, that card is way more then anything out here needs
<1> and its like 250 bucks you dont need to spend, or that could be spent elsewhere
<1> and thats a mega expensive sound card o.O
<4> i know
<4> the X-Fi is really nice though :)
<4> the X-FI can cost like 300+$s
<4> Chez, will that be like top of the line though
<4> my computer,
<4> im going to be doing a lot of rendering
<4> thats why...
<4> Chez...
<2> what sort of system are you looking at building aao_pwner?
<4> Rendering/gaming
<4> im looking to put 2 more GB of ram in it so i can program with 64 bit float integers, effectivly lol
<4> will it be good?
<5> what video card should I get ? i'm replacing a ati 9800xt
<4> x1800
<5> who makes it?
<5> ati?
<4> yes'm
<4> the x1900 is the new one
<4> allthough, it is extreme overkill
<5> i couldn't find it locally.. they're selling Sapphire x1900
<5> i think
<4> get it on newegg.com
<4> its the best deal deurr
<5> how much is a decent price?
<4> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814102624
<4> depends
<4> what are you going to be doing
<4> because if your going to be gaming, the nvidia cards have higher fps all around...
<5> gaming
<5> why are all these other companies selling nvidia cards?
<4> because nvidia is better
<4> i guess its a personal opinion
<4> but, i like nvidia more
<4> and benchmarks sure do
<5> well
<4> if your having problems finding a card.... look at www.tomshardware.com
<4> goto the VGA chards
<4> it will tell what card you might want
<4> lol
<5> for example.. lets say i want x1800... only card they're selling locally is .. Gigabyte Radeon x1800 xl 256mb gddr3-pci-e w/ vivo, dvi
<4> ya, thats good
<4> but for the price
<4> i'd get the 7800GTX with 256GDDR3 and 2 DVI
<5> but why do different companies make those cards? for example.. gigabyte and sapphire
<5> what's up with that.. is one better than the other?
<5> why isn't it.. Nvidia 7800GTX ...
<5> or is nvidia leasing out their chipset
<4> http://www.tomshardware.com/site/vgacharts/index.html
<4> naw xlx
<4> i was confused about that too
<4> other companies just bring their designs to the table
<4> but still use the basic interface like the memory type and the GPU
<4> just different... architecture
<4> xlx for example: http://www.tomshardware.com/2005/12/02/vga_charts_viii/page16.html
<4> look at that
<5> do you think the 7800gtx has an agp interface? my motherboard, i don't think, can handle pci-e .. it's a p4c800-e asus
<4> you dont even have a pci-e slot
<4> lol
<4> it doesnt come in AGP
<5> ****, gonna have to upgrade motherboard.. think i'll have to change the ram:
<4> naw
<4> you just get this
<5> i'll buy a new motherboard if i have too, i don't wanna upgrade ram/chip
<4> the 6800GT with erm whats that
<4> 6800GT with AGP
<4> they sell that
<4> its a pretty nice card
<4> http://www.tomshardware.com/2005/12/02/vga_charts_viii/page16.html
<4> just look at the VGA chard
<4> make a choice for your self
<4> the 6800 is pretty far up there too
<5> why are radeons so friggen slow
<4> idk
<4> i never used a ati card...
<4> cept on my friend's computer
<5> aao_pwner, here's where i'm getting confused... go to .. www.memoryexpress.com
<5> that's where i'll be buying it from
<5> hit video cards... pci-e
<5> and then look... evga, bfg, too many manufactures making the same card
<4> i know
<4> i just told you
<5> ya but which do you go towards?
<4> their different companies that make motherboards basically and design it differentally but use the same stuff...
<4> like erm same gpu and memory brand
<4> oh, i goto...
<5> that's the problem, if i'm paying 500 bucks.. i don't wanna buy a "walmart version 6800" sorta idea
<4> erm.... im getting an XFX
<4> but eVGA is pretty good
<5> what's the latest chipset for the pci-e motherboards?
<5> these sockets rather
<5> socket ###
<4> nf4
<4> nForce4
<4> and socket939
<4> so if you want like the latest in ****
<4> like top of the line would be
<5> ya that's what i'm going after.. i like to go topof the line every 3-4 years
<4> in my idea the A8N-SLI and an AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+ with 2 7800GTX OC 512MB on SLI
<4> that'd be top of the line
<4> do you have xbox live by any chance xlx
<4> because im on it right now with my wireless headset
<5> i wish, i went to buy one but they ran out
<5> i went everywhere for it
<4> for what?
<4> im not talking about a 360
<4> i have a regular xbox
<4> with a logitech wireless xbox headset
<5> oh xbox .. no
<4> do you got xbox live?
<5> no
<4> ok...
<4> anywa.y..
<4> if you want top of the line
<4> id get
<4> 2GB dual channel low latency ram...
<4> AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+
<6> 4gb
<4> nVidia 7800GTX OC with 512onboard
<4> 4gb is unnecessary
<4> lol
<6> x1900xt
<4> in all sircumstances
<6> no its not
<4> i dont think ehs gonna be doing 64 bit driver programming
<4> that would require 4GB of ram
<4> lol
<5> nope, just gaming
<5> bf2, cod2, wow sometimes
<4> plus top of the line would the x1900xt on erm whats that...
<2> why would that require 4GB of ram?
<4> 64bit driver programming, i dont know
<4> lol
<5> my 9800xt was sweet, so friggen clear
<4> x1900 has crossfire right (ATi SLI)
<4> all the crossfire motherboards i hear **** *** right now, and top of the line would have 2 x1900's on crossfire
<5> A8N-SLI or A8N32-SLI ?
<6> what ever you say
