I think i have a unbalanced System! Hopefully not 4 long

Hello THGF if you`ve been in the Nvida part of this forum you would have seen that my 7900gt died.

Iam going to replace it with a X1950 CF Edition which i can obtain for around $450 australian.

I am first and foremost worried that The X1950 will be bottlenecked by my RAM,CPU and HDD

Iam trying to sell stuff on Ebay to save up for a New System for my awsome video card to go in (Comments wanted)

C2D E6300
Abit A9N CF
2GB Cosair Ram(havent decided which type to go XMS or Value)
320GB Seagate Sata 2
Antec Sonata 2 w/ 450W ATX2 psu

I guess this Topic is a Statement and a question.

Nothing that you have will bottleneck that graphics card. You will be alright on everything (well more than alright but w/e)

Sorry Sig was turned off

um why drop $400+ on a dx9 card, wait for dx10.

I'm selling one of my 7900 GT's if you want. $215

550 mhz superclocked version

What is ATIs R600 Specs because iam sick of Nvidia, just plain sick of them
going to give ATi a go

ive got to return my 7900gt and hopefully i will get $500AU credit with them

i only have $100AU extra bucks sitting around and iam going to spend that on a new Antec Sonata II w/ 450w atx2 psu

When i have about $700AU bucks ill get

C2D E6300
Abit A9N CF
2GB DDR2 Cosair Ram
320GB Seagate Sata 2

But yeah i gotta run whatever card i get in my old system for now because i dont even have the money for a new one.

Your new setup will be fine with no bottlenecks. In your old system i would say the CPU would be holding you back.

Yeah i thought so. But for the duration i have it running in my SIG system i ll just turn the VFX way up and hopefully remove the stress from my very old CPU

before i wrap up this post i got some questions (iam trying to build a new system thats a little quiet)

With the Core Duo 2 E6300 does it run very hot with a stock cooler ? Will i have to buy a aftermarket one ?

I cant decide on what type of Cosair ram to get (because frankly i dont know the difference between CL speeds)

Should i got Value or XMS Ram ?

How much more will a high end equivilent DX10 card cost (and will it run with a 450w Antec ATX2 Psu ?) ?

One more question i promace

Finarly about Vista I heard some weird dealings about the licencing

i would only be most probably be running it on my C2D system when i get it but later might want to reinstall it on the C2D system

Can i only Install/Reinstall Vista on my PC a certain amount of times ?

How much will vista cost in AU $ ?

Thankyou guys for your help.

As for the Video card for that system i will probably be getting the ATI R600 if its cheap enough if not i will settle for the X1950 CF
