Hi:
I have a home built PC with an Intel Pentium 4 (3.0 Ghz)
and a Radeon 9800 XT (bought 4 years back for close to $500)
which has served me well over the years (played games, ran video editing
utilities etc). Though I noticed that even this system had problems
running HL2: episode one with full details.
I am thinking of buying a 30" Apple Cinema Display so I need a dual link DVI
capable card capable of running the monitor at full resolution
(2560 x 1600). So it seems that the best cards are PCI express now
and my motherboard (MSI) has only AGP. So it looks like
I need to build a new system.
What motherboard/CPU/GPU combo do you recommend ? (Keep the 30" in mind, GPU needs to be dual DVI capable). I need to be able
to play the latest games in the next 3-4 years (I don't know whether
asking for playing at the full resolution of an Apple cinema display
is asking too much, but I would like that).
Thanks for your advice.
