    what Power supply,what cooling?

    i would suggest you go over to newegg and buy the Allied 500w for $69, me and my friend both bough Allied 400w and have been very happy, Allied makes great power supplies, but not many people know of them, they assume they are a no name company. also i think that 500w has 2 LED fans :cool:

    Unreal 1 : Half Life 2 is to 3Dfx : Nvidia

    TBH, i'm VERY pissed at nvidia it was false advertising, no other way around it. they created drivers that would artificially boost their scores in synthetic benches like 3dmark03 that became so prevalent, far beyond the actual, real game capabilities of the card, then sold these scores as...

    2 CPU's. wtf?!?!?!

    yeah, that's mainly for servers and heavy duty rendering, though for the really big rendering jobs, you usually have to get a rendering farm of a few computers working together, and sometimes even that can take hours and i've even heard days

    Detonators 51.75: Dont get your hopes up

    not so, Doom 3 is openGL and they had to create a special codepath for it so it could render high level shaders in Doom 3 at a reasonable frame rate, lowering the color precision to 16bit and even 12bit integer in some places, the difference here is that it doesn't come with all the other DX 9...

    paid for a 9800 got an SE...Help!

    no, the SE is a budget 9800 with half the pixel pipelines and if was an SE, they should have advertised it as such, they are very different products, unlike the 9800 Pro and 9800 Non Pro, where the difference is only clock speeds, there are architectural changes in the SE that lower it's...

    Detonators 51.75: Dont get your hopes up

    in fact, it does suck as much as other DX 9 games while Doom 3 is not DX 9, it does use high level shaders, in fact, using the pixel shader 2.0 standard during development of Doom 3, they found it necessary to write a special codepath for nvidia cards that used partial precision and even...
