    How good is this build

    Take it easy there kiddo, Rome wasn't built in one day. Anyways, as long as the card has the correct drivers for vista (which most should) it should work with Vista. Nvidia is generally much better at drivers, than ATi. With the DX-10 card you only give up DX-10 capability. Since future games...

    Core 2 Duo models and comparision of affect in gaming?

    Are mid range DX-10 cards capable of perfoming DX-10 graphics?

    Right now I am considering the 7950GT or 8600GTS, I hear the 7590GT in general a little faster, especially at higher resolutions (which I use). So it sort of a toss up, a little better performance or possible DX-10 capable. (DX-10 may also perform better in newer games). There really is too big...

    Are mid range DX-10 cards capable of perfoming DX-10 graphics?

    I have been hearing a lot comments on other forums that many of these DX-10 card will not even be able to play games with DX-10 effects on. Based on an article comparing recent DX-10 midrange cards (ati and Nvidia), all did very poorly in a DX-10 game (See link below). Do you think any of these...

    Memory and Intel 965P Express Chipset (limited to 800 speed only)? (source newegg)

    I was looking at a motherboard and it lists that it accepts 533/667/800 memory on it's manufacture web page. However, on the product page on new egg it claims that 800 speed (does the timing only apply to 800 speed?) with JEDEC approval must be used for the chipset Intel 965P Express (see...

    PSU Questions- 3.3V and 5V recommendations

    1) All I hear is the 12v rail these days. Wondering what you guys would recommend having for the 3.3v and 5v rails for a new mid range system. 2) Also when you have dual 12v rails, how do you figure out what the combined amount is. From what I understand having line 1 with 20a and 2 with 20a...
