I know the upload's are always much slower.

Their 128mb 9800 pro's are $250 but it may have gone down to $200 can't remember. That one is 256mb so I guess that version is still selling for $500, it's funny that the AIW version is $200 cheaper though at $300.

IMO, if you're going to upgrade from 1GB go to 2GB. 1.5GB isn't worth it, and you can't do dual channel mode.

I have cable but I don't know exactly what my download/upload speeds are. Anyone know how to check? I have Comcast cable and it's a really nice connection, I don't lag in games or anything and my downloads can go pretty fast, but I'd love to know what they are exactly. Edit: comcast.net says...

Well they are going to have AGP versions of the R520 aren't they? I'm pretty sure they're doing AGP one last time, so I'll just stick with that for now if that's true.

The 6800 has 12 pipes and I know those you can try to unlock. But you can actually unlock the 8 pipeline 6800LE to a full 16 pipes?

Not to hijack the thread but are there any S939 mobo's that have AGP and PCI-E that anyone knows of? That are out already or will be very soon?

If that thing doesn't cost much I'm getting it. I'm probably going to upgrade to a Socket 939 A64 3000+ when I get a job this summer, so I would get a PCI-E 939 mobo because I want to get the R520 when it comes out as well. Nice find. Edit: It only works with certain types of Albatron's...

The 6800LE has only 8 pipelines, and yes the 6600GT would most likely be faster.

Try VLC media player. It plays just about anything.

But you can't run dual channel with 4x512mb. I think that now 1gb sticks are getting faster. You should be able to find a pair of good 1gb sticks I think.

Huh well I thought they were making AGP versions for these cards, the last time.

No they are supposed to have AGP versions, this generation is the last time. Can anyone else confirm?

I have an idea, for now just upgrade the cpu and ram with that $200. You won't be able to get anything good if you upgrade all three at the same time. CPU: http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=9123&vpn=AXDA2800BOX&manufacture=AMD RAM...

Yeah that XGI is worse than your Radeon 7000 most likely, and upgrading from an AMD Duron to another AMD Duron when your motherboard can support an Athlon XP is a bad upgrade as well, even if you ar egoing from 800mhz to 1.8ghz. What's your budget?

There are no pre-builts you can get that would be cheaper and as good as one you built yourself. If you want, list your budget and I can come up with a nice gaming system for you just to show you what you can get.

First of all, how much are you willing to spend? And those upgrades you chose besides maybe the ram aren't worth it at all. Tell how much you're willing to spend and I'll find much better upgrades. And there are cheaper sites.

The 6600GT is better.

Wait did I miss something? Gordon time-traveled a decade into the future?

Looks good, and the reviews were all good. For under $50, that one looks good.
