Trust me. It's sufficient - I don't remember exactly what I bought, but it was at least a 500w Enermax. This card has no connectors for a direct power source, either. I know for a fact that the video card was defective, because the RMA replacement that I eventually got, 7 weeks later, despite...

MAFT pro should have no problems with your goals. That said, a standalone is without question, superior, if you can spring for the cost, get one. :)

heh - defective as in, with the card seated in it's slot, the PC wouldn't power on. Replacing the card with my old 6600 GT let the computer power up just fine. I swapped them several times to check. At this point, the GeForce 7000 series is the card I recommend, I'll just buy them from Asus /...

WHAT???? I need more than one? Shit... back to the drawing board. :(

I picked up the evga 7600gt recently. I won't buy another part from them. :( It was defective out of the box, the local store refused to RMA it, so I was left with paying for shipping both directions for a card that was DOA. I'll stick to buying from companies that have decent customer...

The key is, what type of games? There are *LOTS* of games out there that don't stress your processor at all. RTS games use a lot more processor than most FPS games.

The pictures are pretty much self explanitory. :D

It really depends on what you want to do with it. Posting what you use your computer for, and what you would like to use it for in the future is realistically your best bet, then we can tailor a suggestion to your needs.

64 bit processors run regular XP just fine, and do it faster than a comparable speed 32 bit processor. This is my current system configuration. :D

I was an intel fan for years, but switched to the AMDs with their thunderbird series. Medic is right on the money, there's nothing from Intel that's worth owning at the moment.

Very well done, thanks Mike. I'm going to have to change my link in my sig now that we have one specifically for our group, instead of pointing to the geek folks. :)

Why would we buy you any drinks? Everyone says you'll do the dirty deeds sober, missy.

Yup, I hurt one bad with the stock turbo. I wasn't pulling hard, but I passed him at a slow walk and I started behind him at the light. The look on his face was priceless.

Cripes! Next time, replace A & B with real sounding names, like Tina and Joe. That way maybe we can make sense of the whole mess. Currently my opinion is that you should sleep with them both.

Girl, you have all the aces. Go get a shirt made that says, "My car is faster than yours." Then head for the local racetrack and watch the guys line up around the block. Seriously, you're smart, like cars, cute, and turn your own wrenches. Any guy who's straight, sighted, and single would be...

There are a couple guys running just over 500 rwhp on 94 octane pump. It's all in the intake temps IMO - so run a turbo that makes lots of flow without much heat, run a ridiculous intercooler, spray the IC, etc, etc.

One more thing. Don't pick on the folks that either don't know, or don't choose to differentiate between religion and faith - from a non-Christian point of vew, there really is no significant difference. I'd suggest explaining why that's kinda insulting, and more often than not considerate...

Nope, introduced in 89. I think. Unless Jeff chimes in. Again. punk....

/thread.

Meh, there are some problems on both sides of the fence here - actually, more than two sides, for that matter. Canadian government has it's own problems - like the fact that 1 in 3 people in Canada work for the government, when the place could be run by 1 in 10 without any loss in services...
