Re: New Dell XPS 400

Switch old graphics card with the new. That should fix problems.

Don't buy from dell. Ever. Again.

I think his new PC is PCIe and his old one used AGP, so I don't think that would work.

At least if you're planning on buying a gaming desktop

Lol I didn't even build this computer... our old HP died... literally.. and we just got a basic home computer to take its place and I felt like playing some BF2 on it... it wasn't coming close to being a gaming comp people lmfao:evil: :evil: :evil:

Re: New Dell XPS 400

Well, if you just want the quality of your 6800gt, a 7600gt would do you well. They're $145 at newegg.

Re: New Dell XPS 400

I'm gonna do some research and scrap up some money and slam together a new comp with a GeForce 7900 GTX and a few gigs of ram and see how it works out. You guys know some good sites with that? Like TigerDirect of something?

Newegg is usually the best. Zipzoomfly, mwave, tigerdirect, monarchcomputers, and tankguys are also supposed to be pretty reliable. Personally, I have only gotten my parts from newegg and the Intel store for employees there. How much money are you planning on geting for this setup and when do you plan to build it?

Re: New Dell XPS 400

Actually I've pretty much always been on a price-restricted state... I've decided the hell with it and build performance all the way baby... as long as it's not insanley crazy.

I'm not sure when I'll start building it... soon would be best, but I got a lot of business goin' on right now so that might not be possible.

Re: New Dell XPS 400

I could make a list of parts if you gave a budget, but the PC industry moves really fast; new stuff seems to be coming out all the time. Prices can change a lot, and there are often a few killer deals on particular products for like a week or something.... so you can't really set what your going to buy and buy it a month later as there will probably be better deals by then.

Re: New Dell XPS 400

Lol Alright, Sounds good:evil:

EDIT: Hey Knght, What do you think about this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814150130 to put in my XPS

Re: New Dell XPS 400

It will perform worse than your old 6800gt. After helping quite a few people in a similar situation, I think I've come to the conclusion that the x800gto is actually slightly more powerful (but still not up to par with the 6800gt). So if you want to stay in that $100 price range, I think that the x800gto would be a better choice. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814131007

The first link shows that the 6800 and the 6800xt are about the same, and the third link shows the x800gto owning the 6800

And I was just thinking about my "Just post here" post... You probably should post over at http://forums.fevergaming.com/forumdisplay.php?f=306 as well. Quite a few of the knowledgeable hardware people that used to post here now only post over there...
