I also just noticed the MSI NX6600GT-TD128E VIDEO CARD GEFORCE 6600 GT PCI-E 128MB DDR 128BIT http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=13799&vpn=MS-8983-010&manufacture=MicroStar What does anyone think of MSI 6600Gt vs. eVga 6600GT?

Hmm opinions..? LEADTEK WINFAST PX6600GT 128MB DDR3 PCI-E VIDEO CARD http://www1.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=13869&vpn=PX6600GT-TDH&manufacture=Leadtek or eVGA E-GEFORCE 6600GT 128M DDR3 PCI-E DVI VIDEO CARD http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=13354&vpn=128-P2-N368-TX&manufacture=eVGA

I'm sure glad I got some opinions on my previous specs :P Haha, that would have been an expensive mistake

I don't plan on replacing it as soon at the Geforce 7000's come out but maybe in a year or more if I actually find it lacking gfx power. What does anyone think of the processor/mobo/ram?

Any thoughts on the processor/mobo/ram/vid card/etc arrangement?

I've attached a speadsheet (zipped) with full names, budget and links but if you are too lazy (or not interested enough) to read that, here is the summarized list. Processor:AMD ATHLON 64 3200+ PROCESSOR S939 VENICE Motherboard:DFI LANPARTY UT NF4-D ATX NFORCE4 S939 DDR Ram:OCZ DUAL CHANNEL...

Also do I need a heatsink and if so, which one?

Would it be worth it to pre-order the "AMD ATHLON 64 X2 Dual-Core Processor 4200+" or is the price outweigh the benefits at this point?

What is the clock speed of the "AMD ATHLON 64 3200+ Processor S939 Venice"? Is this the recommended processor or is the " AMD ATHLON 64 3500+ Processor S939 Venice" worth the extra cash? ($285 to $400 CAD)? Is this recommended over the Intel P4? gaara says:I've lost a bit of faith in nicx now...

DHW200 says:The nvidia is the 7800, the ati is the X900. They are supposed to hit the market around june/july. judging by the specs, it looks like ATI is going to smoke nvidia this time around. But the consensus here on the Geforce 6800 vs. ATI X850 is to go with the Geforce?

DiabloII says: if you can wait until the summer, then do so, because the new nvidia and ati cards will come out then and you can buy a DFI crossfire boards perhaps Which cards are these and what date do they come out?

no offense, but it's a bad build None taken, thats why i'm looking for advice :) i can make a better one for you, but you gotta tell me how much you can spend and are you building this yourself or via a site? I having the computer technician from my dad's company put it together because he can...

I've thinking of getting a computer with these specs for college, any suggestions on changes or comments? Pentium 4 3.4 Ghz (Intel D915GAVL P4, SATA, A/L, DDR400 Pentium 4 heat-sink fan) Windows XP Pro 160 GB HD Video Card: ATI RADEON X850 XT 256MB AGP Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Plantinum...
