whats ur opinion of these two graphics cards? i have been needing a new one for a while.
the GTS vs. GTX or opinions on the geforce8 in general?
if you're going to go with the GTX make sure you have a VERY VERY superior system. If not, then your CPU/memory is going to be bottle necking the video card.
i have intel core2duo [email protected] with 1GBram,is that good enough for the GTX? getting 4 1GB sticks soonQuote:

the 6300 is DEFINITELY not good enough for the GTX. You need one of those Core 2 Extremes to get the full power of the GTX.
By the way if you're getting 4GB like I have right now, you should get the 64bit OS to fully use the 4GB. I'm on 32bit vista and 32bit OSes only register up to 3GB of ram due to the limitations of 32bit OSes.
how can i tell if i have a 64bit OS? i am only getting vista when i decide on a laptop i want
It should say X64 when you're looking at the description/name of the OS you're going to be buying.
And you're getting the GTX for your laptop? what?
i want to get a new card for desktop since i have a old one, and my laptop i am not sure whats specs i should get on it. i was asking how do i find out if my desktop has a 64bit OS?Quote:

you can right click on my computer in the start menu on XP and go to properties. Or you can go into control panel>system>system info(? I don't use XP anymore so I'm not sure where everything is.)
basically, if you dont know you have it, you dont.
System Properties can be seen by simply pressing the Windows symbol key with the Pause/Break key on the keyboard.Quote:

what specs should i look for a good gaming pc? a laptop most likely
a good gaming PC? a DESKTOP!
i would prefer a laptop since i already ordered a 8800 GTS for my desktopQuote:

i want it for gaming to, but i am not sure since it will have vista pre installed probably, or should i just get a xbox360 or ps3? because i saved up 3000$ for new graphics card +ram+laptop, i spent 380$ on a graphics card and 259$ on 4GB of consiar ram i was just going to buy 3, but decided 4 again to find out if i have a 64bit OS.Quote:

do the PS3 or XBOX 360 have a modchip yet? whats ur opinion on moniters really, because if i go with a game console i will get a new moniter for my pc atm i only have 21 inch samsung .
to answer your question simply: yes, you can play downloaded games on both the PS3 and the xbox360. as for the monitor, i would say get another 21" and have dual screens, its cool, its practical, its nice and you NEED it if you plan on using Windows Sidebar ;)
how do the dual moniters work? can u use the internet on one and watch a video on the other? or is it the same exact thing on both moniters, also can u guys recommend any games for PS3 or XBOX 360? since i will probably buy some with either console i choose
i will just skip a laptop and get an xbox360
You guys totally derailed this thread...
you put different things on both monitors. and games for 360? Gears of War, Rainbow Six: Vegas, Forza 2, GRAW2 ummm.... lots more...Quote:

xbox-scene.com great site... lots of info, but lost of rules also. its easier to get it done... this is for the 360... as for the PS3, i know nothing, other than you load a new OS on it or something and boot games from the harddriveQuote:

Yes, we all know that but much of us are actually willing to spend our cash on a Intel Core 2 Extreme so the GTX isn't bottlenecked by the system?Quote:
