motherboard ill be using http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16813131013 going to be using a antec 550w tp ii psu i was thinking of getting this.. any good? and i read some of the 7900gts have some defects in them... is that true?? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16814130016
No, there arent defects. But as other threads in this forum suggest, the x1800 is around $40-$50 less and the preformance that it lacks compared to the 7900's and can overclocked to match its preformance. For the KO superclocked, I'm not sure if it can match its preformance, but it is less money. However, if you have around #350ish for a gfx card, the x1900 is a viable choice.
x1800XTs went upin price and the 7900GTs came down... performance wise they are on par at stock i'd say the 7900 slightly ahead, but after OCing he x1800 dominates. Price isn't much of an isue given this. if possible I'd wait until conroe it's out next month...
i might wait for conroe then... but i already ordered a case from newegg. hope the new motherboards can fit..
It will. Most motherboards are some kind of variety of ATX, and i dont know many cases that are ONLY Micro ATX and/or Baby ATX, most are just in general, ATx; which means all types of ATX can fit it.
pretty much all motherboard s will fit any case. unless the case is horrendously small. it costs the case manufacturer about 10 cents to make a case everything compatable given the case is well sized...
alrite then im set until conroe comes out. btw this was the case i ordered http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16811129154
can't see the page because newegg is ebing a little bitch, but remember, it's the motherboard that determines if it fits ina given case, not the processor, and current previews of conroe boards show them as following ATX standards for the most part.
gr was lagging case motherboard compability is Standard ATX 12" (W) x 9.6" (L) if you still cant open the page
