Well I'm also grabing a new Athlon 64 3400+ FX-53 chip and motherboard. So I'm gonna be the coolest kid in college
I don't really know a whole lot about the PCI Express stuff.

| Post subject: | New Video Card.... |
Well I've been looking for a new one for 3 months. I either want a X800 XT Platinum Editon, a GeForce 6800 GT, or a GeForce 6800 Ultra. So if any of you see these online, or maybe at a store near you, please let me know, because I want to buy it. I currently have the X800 XT PE on Backorder at Outpost.com, but i have a feeling that won't ship until like Early september. |

Info on PCI Express: http://graphics.tomshardware.com/graphic/20040310/index.html Toms Hardware is the best out there IMHO^^ Over all jist is.. Quote: Whether graphics cards will benefit from this (increased bandwidth) and how attractive PCI Express is for graphics usage largely depends on the motherboard and software developers. Updating only for the sake of higher bus bandwidth won't be incentive enough in most cases. Basically PCI Express = more bandwidth, but few programs will take full advantage of this for a good few years is the prediction, the entire selling basis of PCI-E is going to focus on Video Encoding etc. For games it will make little difference since the data going over the bandwidth is software controlled by the game  Quote: I don't really know a whole lot about the PCI Express stuff.
Answered? Btw, im plannin on an ATI X800 Platinum ..
Once ATI and the respective companies get producing them ¬_¬ |

Well I almost bought it once.... but the guy ended up being a scammer, so I cancelled that one. There was an auction on Ebay just like 20 minutes ago and I bought one there for $400. The XT Platinum Edition. More people have bought from her but have yet to see the cards. She is a power seller and used paypal, so we're covered either way. So we'll see, the cards sold out in like 5 minutes, |
