http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16813136152 will this board run this card? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16814102505

yeah.. i know.. nvidia mobo or w/e the hell it is, and an ati card. i dont know anything about anything, but w/e... its worth a shot?

i havent bought anything (recently lost a job.. yay for unemployment, thank god im still a minor.) so yeah.. i want to know everything im planning on buying,

if it wont work, or theres something that will work better price/performance-wise, please enlighten me... im so confused, havent looked at hardware for like.. forever.

Yeah that combination will work fine, but i'd really reccommend a x1800gto. Its a bit extra but worth it. I'm thinking of getting one myself when I upgrade :thumbup:

you should go for a 7900gt...these are extra price/quality ratio

your better off with the 1800gto.nvidia is crap trust me.

AKADeadly · 05-31-2006, 06:08 PM

Well i dont think there crap

Alucard X · 05-31-2006, 07:10 PM

There ok but the 1800 is better then the 7900 any day and there pretty cheap right now.

thanks for the recommendation on the video card... ill definitely be going for it.

is this memory compatible with the mobo listed above? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16820146545

also.. now im looking for an AMD processor.. whats a decent one? right now im running a regular 2.4ghz intel.. so i want something.. better? i dont know.. i see all these amd processors on newegg, and its like... 2.0ghz, but it costs like... twice as much as an intel processor that might be like... 2.4ghz.. whats up with that?

Lol yeah, especially when THIS has been discovered. Tbh, the x1800gto can be picked up very cheaply also.

Go for 2 sticks of 512mb RAM so you can run the RAM in dual channel, or two sticks of 1gb. This enables you two run the RAM in dual channel mode.

If you're going with AMD, I'd recommend that you get their new socket motherboard AM2, that requires DDR2 memory (which is quite affordable). I'd recommend a Dual Core CPU, such as the X2 4400+ .

O_O holy crap thats expensive... yeah i know.. you get what you pay for... but jesus o_O;; im not going to lie.. to buy that, i would need like.. 3 paychecks from my old job.. (JUST FOR THAT PART)

is there maybe.. something a little more affordable that gives similar results? does that mobo i gave have an Intel compatible version? if so.. what intel processor would give similar results?
