not an 80mm I have an 80mm fan "rigged" inside the case. I have measured it, but the difference between a 90mm and a 92mm is too hard to tell. I think standard case fans in this range are 92mm, but with companies that want to make things difficult to rearrange on their proprieary technology who...

I just had an amazing conversation with Gateway Tech support. I recently purchased an FX510XT and am in the process of modding it. If anyone can answer this question then they ought to be answering the phone at Gateway. If you are familiar with the Gateway 7-Bay BTX case, you will have noticed...

Don't waste time? Why do you say that? Is it a Vista/DirectX 10 issue? Please explain...

I have been researching Crossfire configurations. X1900 XT crossfire comes configured with another X1900 XT. Is the same configuration available using X900 XTX cards? Does the X1900 XTX come as a slave/master setup as does the X1900 XT? Any suggestions as to the best configuration? What would be...

Good info. I do recall something on Ageia's website about their having discussions with Havok regarding DirectX 10. Your solution sounds interesting - getting basically the same result at a much lower cost. Besides running x-fire with a third ati card with Havok FX software sounds like fewer...

The article cited doesn't say the Ageia card "crappy" but doesn't rave about it either. As for lowering fps, that cannot be all that bad, it should free up graphics card resources I would assume. Thanks for all the feedback. I appreciate the responses.

I did research your reply and found a CNET review at: http://exactchoice.cnet.com/ProductProfile.aspx?id=5289 that said the following "This memory's type, capacity and speed are suited to high-performance needs. Whereas average users are unlikely to notice any benefit, intense gamers...

Thanks, I did not know that. That is helpful and easy enough to do. I am keen on finding out about the physics card. That seems to be a difficult one to find an answer to. I appreciate your time in replying to my posts.

The system came stock with 4 gigs. I will be using it as I will be running two monitors and multitasking while gaming. There are also other perhiperals I did not list because I don't think they would affect the internal hardware architecture. I also tried to make sure the entire system was Vista...

I was interested in what kind of boost in graphics I could expect. I guess I was not very clear in my post. Thank you for your reply. It may not be worth the price to put one in then I take it?

I have done some research and have not been able to determine compatabality/performance for the following system. I have a Gateway FX510XT, Pentium 965 Extreme Ed.(3.73GHz,1066MHz FSB,2x2M cache,HT), on an Intel Motherboard w/975X 10/10/1000 LAN, with 4096MB PC5300 DDR2 667MHz SDRAM (4-1024MB...
