Re: My final memory question...
Yep... Only the AGP can.
I had thought the same thing at one time untill I tried. it.
thirdeye... I also have a dell and agree with those that say dont by RAM from them. at www.crucial.com there is a button to "Scan my system". Click that and it will tell you what you have (But you allready seem to know) as well as recommend other set ups that are compatable with your system.From your article:
It’s because of this that PCI-E GeForce 6800 cards can’t be modded into 16-pipeline cards. Basically, their NV41 graphics core only features 12 pipelines so there’s nothing turned off at the factory. Since AGP-based GeForce 6800 cards are still built on NVIDIA’s 16-pipeline NV40 core, they can still be modified to run with 16 pipelines. (2nd paragrpah)
From that point you can shop around. While others have done well with newegg, I actually fell into a better deal buying it from Crucial. (They were having a sale/rebate offer going)
