Re: Video Cards
I'm into super quiet PC's so most of my hardware reflects this.
I'm rocking a 6600GT agp, 128meg @ 550/1100 o/c cooled by a Zalman VF700 @ 5v
Asus P4S800E p4-478 board (passively cooled).
Seagate 7200.7 160gb and WD 40gb. (both inaudible)
Antec p150 case w/ Antec NeoHE 430w
Antec Tri-Cool @ Low
Nexus 92mm intake fan @ 5v
stock p4 cooler (next on the list to be changed)
NEC-3520A DVD-+RW
2x512mb ddr400
and for who ever is praising 3gb of ram you wasted your money, congrats. Benchmarks show only 1gig is needed for today's games and there is little to no benifit from having more. Heck, depending on the motherboard it could even be slowing you down requiring you to run 333 ddr speeds or 2T timing. might wanna check into that!
and raptors are a waste of money too except in server environments,. Toysrme is right.

Re: Video Cards
crxmatt you are an idiot 3 gigs 
and you got ripped the ---- off on that card. Its a 256 6800gt which is old news. The now 154$ 6800 gs is a all around faster card than your 6800gt and the 500$ 6800 ultra. for that 300$ you could have got a 7800 gt which is at least 2 times faster than that pos card you bought 
yet another *** who knows nothing about computers and thinks that because its expensive its good.

Re: Video Cards
i have an asus v9700 integrated with geForce fX5700 and 256mb ramdac memory. Ive had it for a year now and it just now started acting up to where i will be inside Counterstrike and my fps will spike from 100 to around 20ish and then sit level and do this off and on. I wouldnt reccomend anything other then ati, my bros computer has a radeon 9800(non pro and same motherboard and memory setup) and it performances exceptionally even after being use for more then 2 years now.
