you get a stronger Power Supply you are going to have to mark the x1650XT off your shopping list. You will be fine with the HD2600XT on the earthwatts 380W ; it's got a hefty 12v for it's wattage rating and your system isn't that loaded. The only card mentioned...

CPU rating systems - how should it be made?. I see lots of comments about the rating system vs. Mhz number here, however do anyone have an idea of how the rating system should be? I am assuming that there are a lot of people here that should have far more...

systems, p4 to p4 for example or overclocked states though. [Rik_] I wonder how many people have made their own phasechange system? [LHGPooBaa] I get phasechange whenever i eat a hot chillie :lol: I just thought that if Sandra's performance rating...

not machines. The "several formulas" I refer to are several tables that try to compensate for various factors such as core type and clock rate. I already explained that. The XP rating system isn't computer generated, it's man made. The little program...
