Yes, like Xelink said, with a low budget, prebuilt is the way to go. However, when you get a job and save up a bunch of cash, you should build a...
Yes, it's a good card, better than most 6800Xts, since it's got 256MB of GDDR3 Ram instead of the usual 128mb of DDR. But I'd spend the extra cash...
there are some cases that come with remotes to turn the computer on and off. But if you're already sitting there next to it, why would you need one?
That's for PCI Express. Not PCI, like we're discussing. There is nothing better than the FX5500 or Radeon 9250 for PCI. Get a new motherboard.
You pull the connector out, not the pins themselves to put it as a slave.
I think you've got the voltage thing backwards. PCIe delivers more voltage than AGP. My AGP 6600GT requires an extra power input, whereas the PCIe...
Might this be the results of that virus you mentioned earlier?
Yeah... that's why they make quite arguably the best CPU Fan/HS on the market... :rolleyes:
Damn nice score. Nice job.
I hear ya... my Celly, mobo, and RAM fried Friday night. I'm stuck using my old Athlon XP 2400+ and hp mobo... and had to spend the $100 I had...
^^^7800GTX Outperforms the X1800XT, it's the X1900 that's the top dog. Anyway, there are no more new 7800GTX512s being sold that I know of, and...
Wooo! The overclocking site I visit's stats are something like 74% Firefox, 25% Opera, and 1% IE. :lol:
Maxtor was just recently (like yesterday, I think) bought buy Seagate... so either the name's dissapearing or they are gaining alot of quality.
I bet that some people that built their computers think they can do everything... I (mostly) built mine, and half of my BIOS (the limited-Option...
Si senor.
If he sets it back to stock settings and there's no heat damage... how do they know? Unless it's recorded in the BIOS or something...
Don't get PSUs that come with cases. They are almost always low quality, and you run the risk of them blowing and taking out other components. I'd...
Then it's wrong... the 7800GS does have 16 pipelines.
^That's because the AA in HL2 is set up to work better on ATi. If you set AA in the control panel before playing, everything looks alot nicer....
-_- He wasn't asking which was better... read the thread before you post and make yourself look like an idiot.
I'd go with the 7800, especialy since it'll cost you either nothing or very little. I've heard the 7800GS OCs VERY well, and the SM3.0 support...
Any beeping form the mobo?
I'd take pics, but my camera's broken and my case is fugly. Intel Celeron 2.5GHZ, OCed to 2.9 768 MB DDR400 off brand crappy ram eVGA Geforce...
^I'd reccomend anything DeFuZioN says. But in my own opinion, I'd lower the CPU to a 3800+ X2 and up your graphics card. There's not enough...
Or, you were all excited and asked us to help you choose parts for your new build a few months ago. :D
