check out this review http://www.anandtech.com/memory/showdoc.aspx?i=2560 BTW-the titanium pc3200 is way overpriced for that performance level-they are mainly for workstation solutions. You might as well save $40 and get the plat ed. in that case plat isnt good for overclcoking, i ddident no about ...

You do use it for professional rendering apps, meaning you will need OpenGL. ATI != OGL unfortunately.

7800 is your GPU.

i.c so does this mean i cant use ati for maya, lightwave and 3d max which is what i use?

hmm, well this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814130249 card looks really nice and has some good specs, i can just over clock it to tthe same speeds as the 7800gtx besides the 1 vertex and 4 pipelines and put these badboys in sli and i will have some good power, i also saw the ...

its cool man, thx for the reccomendations btw do you think i should go for the dfi that is out now or wait for the LANPARTY UT NF4 SLI-DR Expert? *edit* another question, what do you guys think of going with two 7800gt's? for sli, or should we just wait and get one gtx then upgrade later? btw again....

I'd recommend a better mouse for gaming. The logitech g5 is a nice one (haven't used it personally, but comes highly recommended from my professional-gaming friend). Also, It'll be at least a month before the 1800xt is even available, so I'd just go ahead and get the 7800gtx because it's available ...

ok...well since of the high recommendations i guess ill go with the DFI, could anyone reccomend me the one that would work the best for my set up


also could i get a few more solid reccomendations for PSU's becasue mine dosent sound very good, it seems

btw it seems alot of people are reccomending the dfi lanparty boards, do you think you could tell me why they are a better buy then the fatal1ty?

yes the fatal1ty might be a little expensive but since its good i dont mind the extra few dollas

no those arnt the benches im talking about, i saw the ones on toms hardware i think if i remember correctly, and yes the reason im not thinking about it is not becasue of those superclose benches its becasue of the compatibility with the x2... Enough said? :roll: Also, check the dates when those "r...

no those arnt the benches im talking about, i saw the ones on toms hardware i think if i remember correctly, and yes the reason im not thinking about it is not becasue of those superclose benches its becasue of the compatibility with the x2...sorry for the slurred sentence i type really fast so i ma...

as far as the dfi yes it dosent why im not getting it i also saw some benches and the abit was faster, as for the PSU im not looking for the one with the most power output becasue if i was i would get a 2000W one but thats besides the point, i looked at the recomendation on the enermax and it looks ...

i would rather not overclock the crap out of the 3800 and just get the 4800 and overclock that...if i needed the extra power. and for the guy talking about the harddrives i already have a seperate storage harddrive thats 60 that ill use for that, and use the raptor for OS and some other apps.

like i said i can spend the extra money, as far as monitors ad other displays dont worry about it i already have that, for 3d i need a good cpu as i am rendering high res images which are all cpu and i need the power. AS fof the mother board i was looking at the DF lan or w/e it looked good i just h...

hello, im building a new comp primarily for 3d and computer graphics, but i also want to be able to play games at high resolutions. Now i have heard a dual opteron would be good but i have seen the stats and the 4800 seems better all around plus its cheaper here are the specs of the comp i am planni...
