pfft alot of good this is. peoplerecoment i build my own and thatpeople on here would help with finding good partsthen no-one replys when i ask a question about graphics cards typical bloody typicallugsey2k4
How old are you :| have some damn patience. Get a HD 3850 the X1950PRO is old, still good but the 3850 is alot better.
im going ot have around 1000 to 1700 dollars to spend any help on that?Decoy123

I agree, also always ALWAYS try to get at least a 17" screen.. 15" is just too entirely small specially if your getting the laptop specifically for gaming.
Well laptops are for mobility so smaller the better. Also smaller screen + smaller res = better perf lol
[QUOTE="Kokain81"]My proc is a 3.06 hyper threading, it ran awsome with my 5950 ultra, i'm almost thinking i should go back to that.... which is sad really....Luminouslight
*Rips hair out* That's your clock speed... is it a pentium 4?
[QUOTE="LouieV13"]Actually stuff is getting smaller NM proceses making them use less power. Look at the 8800GT, uses around 105w of power and outperforms the older cards that used alot more power. CPU's are getting the same way too tho im not too sure if they use less power tho I know they are getting smaller too.sgac
OK that may be the case in intel's favour and the Nvidia card is certainly good but we've yet to see the true potential of both nvidia and ATI cards. The current ATI cards suck up a lot more power , is this saying something, OK I know they're inferior in DX9 and DX10 games at the moment but there could be something hiding under that hood . Anyway all this still misses the point I mentioned earlier, if your gonna build a high end system full of top drawer components then a sound invesstment to make is in a good PSU to feed them. Yes there may be less powerful models out there that do the same job perfectly but as I said earlier, you'll get a long shelf life out of it, your PC will remain stable and it's kinder to the environment. Err im pretty sure the HD 3800's use around 100w like the 8800GT...
Why does everyone get stuff from best buy :| they overprice the hell outta there hardware. HD 2600XT AGP FTW. You should get this card its really good. If you want to go a little cheaper look up HD 2600PRO AGP on newegg.
