First my current specs: AMD Athlon 64 3800 Newcastle Core MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum MOBO Enermax 470 Watt PSU Windows XP Pro Sp2 2GB Corsair CMX TwinX Duel DDR-SDRAM PC3200 3-3-3-8 NVIDIA 256MB DDR GeForceFX 5700 200GB Western Digital SATA HDD 250GB Hitachi Deskstar IDE HDD 250GB Hitachi Deskstar IDE HDD 300GB Seagate Barracuda SATA HDD Creative Labs Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Its all sweet except for the video card, so i was thinkin of upgrading to this (XFX Geforce 6800XT): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16814150157 only $120 and from the reviews it works wonders, plus it looks pretty badass :lol: Yes? No? other suggested video cards? Edit: Forgot to add, its just for gaming...if ya couldnt already tell :tongue: Edit: For those who dont read all the posts and just this one, I would like to spend a max of $150(inc, tax/shipping/ect) but its not set in stone.
200x better http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16814102492 and what frequency is your CPU venice and mancheser are 2.4 i dont know what newcastle is cuz i dont know if u would get a bottleneck.
Newcastle is also 2.4ghz, to be more exact, mine is running at 2411.7mhz I guess I forgot to mention that I would like to keep the prices below $150 if possible, funds are running low ^^;, but if it's REALLY that much more worth it then I could fork over more cash.
way worth it 4 170 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16814102492 or this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16814102608 I think you can unlock 16 pipes on that but the 1st one is way worth it.
Wrong thread me thinks? Ok so far im mainly concidering the x800GTO http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16814102608 the AIW is good but seems to me the extra $50 is from the VIVO stuff i dont need. fyi, it doesnt have to be from newegg only
I said x800GTO before but this card is much better than the x800GTO in performance http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16814102492 or u can get the best card the 7800 GS by spending 300 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16814150131 ------ But u should get a new PC a core 2 duo (Conroe) and wait for dx10 cards. Cuz AGP really isnt good compared to pci-e
yea i know agp isnt as good but i dont ahve the cash to upgrade both my mobo and vidcard. so in the meantime i wanted to get a good enough agp card to last me a lil - no need for the best. and since its just a bit of a placeholder i didnt want to spend more than 150. o and the AIW card is Out of Stock at newegg lol
