256MB PCI Express™ x16 (DVI/VGA/TV-out) nVidia GeForce 6800

fooling around with options on my school computer and wanted input if anyone has this card...currently my machine im leaving at home as a 9800pro so as long as its equal or better then that im pretty much okay with it...just curious how it compares today

Well, I still have the older 9700 Pro and I have no problems in MMOs. Especially since I now play on an LCD with a 1280x1024 resolution.

That's such a nice looking machine. I remember when I bought my dual processor 300Mhz puppy! Damn, she was fine! Now, IE kills her.

yep I still use my 9800 pro 256mb and it buzzes along just fine. Helps that I have 1gig dual channel ram and run my Video Card with a third party cooler.

I could upgrade but I doubt Id notice the difference, at least not without also buying a new processor.

Nice machine and a good deal, though I do not like Dell customer or technical service. When I had my Dell it would annoy me to no end to call and hear: "Welcome to Dell Computer's Award Winner Customer Service, your wait time is an estimate 25 minutes."

BTW I have a Gateway now. Paid only a little more and the service is loads better.

But the machine looks good. I have the same video card. Works great for me.

Enjoy!

how much you looking to spend?

are you able to put one together yourself or do you need a pre-built rig?

if money is no object, then i'd go with a Geforce 7800GTX
