How is his cpu bad? 3 ghz is well above recommended for D3 and will outperform the 2500 on pretty much any benchmark. The memory will be a bottleneck and slow your computer down somewhat.

At the moment I am in the process of upgrading all of the computers in my house and am looking at wireless networks. Is this all I need to get started: Modem/Router PCI adapter I will connect the other computers and macs using ethernet and airport extreme cards so this is not a...

I remember my friend swapped his Ti 4600 to a FX 5200 pci!! He said it was a higher number so he thought it was better. Luckily he was able to take it back.

I had that problem before I jumped on the broadband wagon. It turned out my service provider had split my phone line between me and a few other people down my road so my line was being shared which made 56k even worse that it already was. There could also be a problem with trees and water...

It could also be dust in the fan causing the noise. In which case you should get some compressed air and give your system a good blow out.

That's a pretty sweet system... What you getting for 3d Mark??

I think to sell the graphics card the company has to pass some nVidia tests but some brands are more prone to problems than others. I've heard of a few more faulty Galaxy 6800s than other brands. Also Gainward had a pretty shambolic time with their first 6800s (wrong BIOS included etc) so I...

50 extra dollars will buy you a 6800 GT which is one of the best cards out at the moment and personally i would recommend it ver the x800 pro.

nVidia 6800 non ultra/GT, better than a 9800xt and only $270 or so.

The x800 pro vivo is a speed binned XT, ie. they are not 100% stable at xt speeds, so all you need to do is flash it with the xt bios so it thinks it is an xt and add some cooling like the new vga silencer, this adds stability. However not all are able to get XT speeds but all are able to...

I would preorder it if i was you. As for the next month or so they are all going to fulfill preorders. the Connect 3d one has the shortest queue. You can also look into flashing an x800pro vivo to XT if you need it fast.

The UK is suffering from a severe shortage as any stock is being used to fulfill preorders etc. The best place i reckon is www.overclockers.co.uk and preorder it for the next batch. They are reckoning 4 weeks until large amount of stock come in plus, as they are the UKs biggest hardware dealer...

I might be wrong but i'm not sure the fx5900xt has a temperature probe to see the temperature, as if there was its likely you'd find it in the nvidia control panel.

Do you mean good features to have?? If you are after wireless then 802.11g is the way to go, then hardware firewalls are also a useful feature to have, gigabit LAN is also good compared to 10/100 LAN. Good brands of network equipment to look out for include Netgear, Belkin, D-Link, Linksys and...

hopefully by November, expect gold by end of september Welcome btw, have a read about rules and do a search for similar threads. *waits for will my system run HL2 thread*

Looks good, price is about right as well. Does it clock well?

Oh yeah, didn't notice it was registered ram, you will gian no benefit from this memory with your choice of motherboard so might you might as well buy cheaper normal 3200 ram.

Well whatever your preference, i think it is fair to say that both the x800 and 6800 will run HL2 perfectly :D

The 6800 GT is a very good buy at the moment and is easily flashed/clocked to an ultra. Also I found the fans on the xaser to be underpowered so you might want to look into buying a couple more powerful case fans.
