A Little but strange problem

Can You belive that the card Liam recommend me cost here 580 US$ and the card that you recommend me cost here 390 US$. Jejejejejejejeje. Of course I have to buy it in US and tell someone that bring it to me

Maybe.....try TigerDirect, MWave, or ZipZoomFly and see if they ship internationally. If none of them do, let us know.

I'll go and look. Thanks. I'm going to talk to my father too because he brings a lot of things from US.

Did you checked carefully your video cards and your pc.

Hi I'm Back. JEjejejejejeje. I was a little lost because my computer died long ago. The motherboard died. My father told me that it was because I leaved it all day and night downloading things, but I heard that people recommend that leave the computer on. Well, it's not a problem because I'm saving money to buy me a new computer, well, I'm going to buy the parts. Maybe you can help me telling me a bit??? I'm going to buy an Q6600 Intel, an Nvidia 8800 GT and a Motherboard intel too. I was thinking of buying the D975XBX2, but then I started thinking and I have a question. What is the differences between Motherboards, because until I know they only are like sockets, you plug all the parts of the computer there and it does nothing more. Can you tell me what makes one better than another???. Another thing, I'm trying to buy the best parts that I can but spending the less that's why I didn't choose the Q6700. That Nvidia it's the best right??? Im going to put 4Gb of memory too. What do you think of that computer??? If you have some better ideas that are not too much expensive I'm open for them. Jejejejeje. Thanks. And greentea, yes I spent almost a month investigating my video cards and all my hardware in internet trying to find the problem

I was looking for Nvidia cards and I found better cards that the 8800GT. I found the eVGA e-GeForce 8800 GTX (768MB) and the PNY GeForce 8800 GTS (640MB). I really can't buy the eVGA because It cost almost 600US$ and in combination with the other parts It's more than 1000$, but what can you tell me about the PNY??? I don't want another card that doesn't work well

The GT beats the GTS, don't base it on memory amount alone.

Don't go for the bad axe 2 either, the 975 isn't as good as a P35 chipset for the quad.


Liam

I just entered the Nvidia page and looked the specifications on the cards and I saw that. Jejejejejeje. Thanks. So you recommend me to buy the DP35DP???

The who and the what now?

I'd say either a gigabyte P35 DS3R, or Abit IP-35.


Liam

Lol, I'm a bit confused. You told me that the P35 chipset it's better than the 975 for the quad so I believe that that means that the Motherboard intel DP35DP it's better for the quad than the Motherboard Intel D975XBX2. I'm not too good with computer words or names, I'm new in this.

Nah, i'd rather go for a gigabyte over an Intel branded board, better BIOS too.


Liam

Why??? What has the gigabyte better than the intel???

I was seeing the computer that you are constructing and I saw the thermaltake. What Toughpower you recommend me to buy??? I saw the one you want or have and really cost a lot. Jejejejeje

I have the 750 in my current rig, it's pretty meaty, and maybe overkill for you, 550-600 may be okay for you, aslong as you go for the 95W G0 stepping Q6600.

The Gigabyte has a better BIOS, more options for tweaking via an advanced menu for overclocking etc, it should be cheaper too....i've just seen a lot of people with quads and Gigabyte P35 boards seem to be very popular, the DS3R/DS3P/DS4/DQ6.


Liam

Thanks man. Jejejejeje. This will help me a lot. I will tell you how everything goes, but it will be in a lot of time because I don't have computer. Jejejejeje.
