650w is quite alot.. 500/550w should be sufficient.

But then again, the extra headroom should be nice for later upgrades.

about that nvidia pure video, if i put that on my system will games run better, look better, etc ?

PSZeTa · Post by **PSZeTa** » 19 Sep 2006, 23:47

Skyline12, what you just posted is just a bunch of crap. Every nVidia product is good, they say. Every graphics card has that stuff listed.

It will run MW, do not expect miracles though.

MY PC
Case: NZXT Guardian

Specs:
Gigabye K8VM800M 2.0 Board (supports 64bit processors)
400W Power Supply
Samsung 17" LCD Monitor
AMD Sempron 3000+
Kingston 512MB DDR400 RAM (Will buy another 512 in a week)
ATi Radeon 9550 256MB AGP Card
Western Digital 250GB Sata Hard Drive.
Sound card is standard built in 6 channel, not bad at all. Beat the crap out of what the celeron had a couple of weeks ago when that comp died, hence why i have this.
Oldschool Altec Lansing speakers, well not oldschool, bought them new about 3 years ago, still have kickass sound though

Yup i just upgraded to 1gb RAM too on my PC, i might buy a 9800 Pro or something to upgrade from my 9550 so i can get the best i can on this agp board.

The Gravedigger · Post by **The Gravedigger** » 03 Oct 2006, 05:24

If you're after the best you can on an AGP board then grab a 7800GS, meanwhile if you don't wish to spend 400+ on the video card something like 200-250 for an X800 GTO would be perfect (you can unlock an extra 4 pipelines on some), it'll give you much better performance than the 9800.

X-voltZ · Post by **X-voltZ** » 03 Oct 2006, 15:33

i just buy a AMD Athlon 64bits AM2 3500+
evga 7900gs

Ragotech · Post by **Ragotech** » 03 Oct 2006, 20:11

not think about carbon only think about Vista frist.

Stereo · Post by **Stereo** » 03 Oct 2006, 22:03

I think I might be able to buy myself a new comp this year on Black Friday. Will this kind of combo be good enough to run newer games smoothly? (Forget about FEAR pls, you need a powerhorse for that)

Computer (AMD64)

Nvidia 6800XT 256MB
EDIT: memory...
Meemory

On black Friday, this kind of system might cost around $500 or less...
Predicted Prices:

Computer: $350
Video: $80
Mem: $30

$460.

xHaZxMaTx · Post by **xHaZxMaTx** » 03 Oct 2006, 22:29

Why waste money buying a whole then switching out the video card?
If the motherboard supports Dual Channel memory, I would advise getting two sticks of 256 rather than one stick of 512. For the price, it's not bad.

i think is cool to run vista..i don't know but i think the video card is vista ready.

weedman173 · Post by **weedman173** » 04 Oct 2006, 01:52

Stop thinking and give Vista a try, Im using it right now and it runs nicely. Just make sure you save the stuff you want before switching to the new OS.

xHaZxMaTx · Post by **xHaZxMaTx** » 04 Oct 2006, 01:53

I don't think there is a video card that isn't compatible with Vista.

Unless it were like uber-old.

X-voltZ · Post by **X-voltZ** » 04 Oct 2006, 03:28

well i don't know if i'm gonna use it...weedman173 " nice nick

" how much vista use you'r ram comparating to XP ?

weedman173 · Post by **weedman173** » 04 Oct 2006, 03:40

I didn't look what windows was using but I can't notice any slow down at all with the same 1gb of ram.

X-voltZ · Post by **X-voltZ** » 04 Oct 2006, 04:05

nice thing to know

Jopuma · Post by **Jopuma** » 04 Oct 2006, 06:32

I'm getting myself a nice Athlon 64 chip when I get enough money for a 3000+ one.

xHaZxMaTx · Post by **xHaZxMaTx** » 04 Oct 2006, 07:05

Only a 3000+? You could get the 3500+ for only $40 more on NewEgg.

Post by **Pabl0z** » 04 Oct 2006, 13:01

A 3000+ would already be outdated when you get it.
