blim Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 Hi Tenmm,Now, you know I'm a big noob --but when we bought this idiot box (a Dell 4550) my Techy nephew insisted we order it with a GeForce 64mb instead of the one it was supposed to come with (betcha in 2003, 128mb wasn't invented yet) He just said "you need this, its important" and I just said, "ok"And I've read many a post of folks having awful trouble with their computer and they were traced to bad video cards--that tells me this is a part where quality is important.But shop carefully. I've noticed that this time of year, there aren't many good specials because folks are buying stuff for Bar Mitzvahs and Graduation Presents--good time for the manufacturers to make a profit!

robroy Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 Looks pretty good, although I understand agp slots will be going the yway of dinosaurs in the near future. Can't say too much about that though cause I just got an ATI all in wonder agp card in February. Using it for a tivo type comp system. I didn't look at all the rest of your components but I have never had any problems with nvidia chipsets. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

murtu52 Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 Just a question, what is the mobo on your new system? If it supports PCI-E, you might want to consider upgrading to PCI-E instead. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
