Im new to ATI cards and im confused which is better since on nvidia a higher number meant better card lol here the X850xt http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814102688R Heres the X1600PRO http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814161034 Which card is better and maybe theres a better crd for under 100$? Also i would a 300 wat power supply run a gpu like that?
the 1600s suck for gaming $15 more and you can get this, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814130054 a much better card, but you will want a 400w psu to keep it happy
I really don't know which of those cards is better, but a 300W PSU is not nearly enough to power the vid card and everything else in your computer. I would get a minimum of 450W for a PSU. I use an Antec 550W TrueBlue2 PSU in my main computer.
also could you tell me if the ram is in that pc is DDR2? someone told me that standard DDR ram wouldnt fit in the Slot of a DDR2 slot is that true?
Im not to sure what kinda power supply it has i just guess a 300 watt but can anyone find what PSU it has on this page http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/...ame=c00679523&dlc=en&product=3184138&lang=en&
a sticker on the psu will say its output. come on sam the 850 is good(great for its price) but not that good. more on par with the 6800ultra than the 7600gt
Nope, it's on par with both, check the benches. Some times the 7600 wins, some times it loses. The only downer is that it uses more power and doesnt have PS3.0.
i was doing just and i will hold my hands up. im realy shocked that it does so well in some games, it must need sm 3 for the ones it loses in. it makes it look an even better buy at that price. sorry for thread hijacking but you might like the looks of this as well, sam how this for the ultimate gaming screen? http://accessories.euro.dell.com/sn...7&category_id=6198&first=true&s=dhs&cs=ukdhs1
if you manage to take it home with you i will give you a good price for yours are they as nice on the eye as they seem on paper/webpage, and what have they got powering it?
X1900 like mine, not sure about the CPU. it's quite a compact tower running it. There are some mad water cooled PCs here!
Thats very ODD that its DDR1 since all the ads and sale say its DDR2 It was bought at best buy in the US but here the same model shown on the ca site.... http://www.bestbuy.ca/catalog/prodd...GFS10077640&catid=20217&PCName=&test_cookie=1
they might do both, a 939 and am2 model. if so get the am2 if you can. or some dopy admim clerk who dont know know their arse from a heat pipe, got it wrong.
if the CPU is socket 939, it'll be DDR1, if the CPU is socket AM2, it'll be DDR2. If in doubt, try and email someone from HP. If you've already bought it, then when it arrives, run CPUZ, that'll tell you.
