    best agp card: ati or nvidia?

    The nVidia 6800GT. Get an eVga, XFT or BFG model with the 3 year warranty. (My HSI 9800Pro/256 died at 14 months. It came with a 12 month guarantee. Meanwhile my GF3 is still going strong.) If you're going to overclock, then probably the BFG OC or the PNY. And if you can afford it, why not...

    Radeon X800 pro not what I expected

    Unless there is a COD Configuration or Auto Configure utility (in the start -> run -> progrmas menu) you may need to re-install the game (after saving your game save data) to see if it will detect the new video card.

    new video card..

    Which ones have the best warranty? Even Canadian PNY only has a 3 year warranty after registration. Me, I bought a eVga 6800GT because of the warranty and because BFG are hard to find. XFT now has a lifetime warranty, also.

    Would you buy

    Forget refurbs and buy an eVga or BFG with the lifetime warranties. As far as 6800GT vs Ultra scores, there's very little difference, 1 to 5 fps, unless you're gaming at the highest resolutions. http://www.sharkyextreme.com/hardware/videocards/article.php/3211_3406871__3...

    PCI Express? Its time for PCI ExpressII

    That's because PC3200/DDR400 was faster than DDR2. Now that DDR2 is at PC6400/DDR800 speeds AMD sees a reason to jump in - you can actually see a performance gain. Anyone who bought into DDR2/533 or /666 is now an orphan.

    9800 Pro or 6600GT?

    How much are you spending for the cpu? That's as much as you should spend on the vid card. http://graphics.tomshardware.com/graphic/20050524/vga_charts-07.html http://www.pricewatch.com/ Basically a $200 PCI-E will double the old 9800Pro scores.

    Free A+ Practice Questions?

    why not just google? btw, 80% of the free questions are bogus, chances are they will not be on the test. There's plenty of sites that will email you daily questions, like examcram, etc.

    Windows 2000 vs. XP Pro

    WXP has faster web browsing. I use FF 1.0 on both machines and WXP is snappier. Even tweaking Fire Fox in W2KP doesn't help. WXP has Clear Type which is a pain in the butt. Yes, it makes the fonts much better looking but it also smears it and makes it look fuzzy. W2KP's anti-aliasing of fonts...

    Farcry or Half-Life 2 - Quick!

    Oh I know about the install process, all of it. I couldn't get my game installed, for whatever reason. The Steam online status always showed that the servers were up, the firewall showed me all the ports that were opening. I even disabled the firewall and tried two different OSes. It just...
