Re: Building a gaming computer

they are having problems with the 7900 AND the 7600 cards. just not as many on the 7600s.

and here's a comparo to help you decide a little.


I'm having problems going to any of these newegg links. is the site slow for anyone else? if I open a new window and then go there it's fine. weird.

Well, for beginners, the second link is now out of stock (auto-notify when availible again), and the first one has a KO cooler, which is better than the standard, as it covers at least SOME of the memory. Anyways, it's easy to raise the voltage on DDR2 ram, or any ram, just go into BIOS, and then up the voltage.

I doubt it, most of the problems are coming from a bad batch of power regs on the cards (At least that's what I heard).

Re: Building a gaming computer

I changed the case (don't need a seperate PSU plus its $10 cheaper)

Hard drive changed (not a RAID eddition)

CD/DVD drive changed ($10 more for a DVD burner)
