Dear Fellow Forum Members,
I'm getting a new computer soon, and need to know which card you think I should go with: The Radeon 9800 Pro 256 meg or the GeForce FX 5900 Ultra. If it will help, my system specs are as follows:
Processor: 3.0 GHz P4 (could be a 3.2 by the time I order the stupid thing)
Mobo: Asus P4C800-E
RAM: 2 gigs Corsair XMS PC3500 (4x 512)
Sound Card: Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Platinum Ex
Case: Thermaltake Xaser III V2000+
HD: 2x160 GB Seagate Barracuda SATA
DVD-ROM: Samsung SD-816BEPB
DVD-RW: Sony DW-UA10A
CD-ROM: AOpen 56x
Speakers: Creative Megaworks THX 6.1
Power Supply: Antec TrueControl 550W
I just went ahead and listed everything (minus things like the UPS, modem, etc.), because, well, any and all advice, even if it doesn't pertain to the graphics card, would be much appreciated. =)
Oh, and yes, I want three optical drives, and no one is changing my mind.
Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you do criticize them, you are a mile away and you have their shoes.
