Anybody else have any other suggestion.

longer than any non-DX10 card.

most new cards are 9.5 inches.

 The 8800 GTX is 10.5

If you are not picky about OCing, then just get a good mid-level board that allows to OC, but isnt chalked full of features that raises the price.

I personally have the P5N-E SLI, and if you dont buy Corsair memory, you shouldnt have too many problems, but I am replacing it with the MSI P6N Platinum which I think is a much better board and has rock solid stock performance and no compatibility issues with my high performance Corsair.

Just get any board with the P960 chipset, the Gigabyte model that is around $150 is really good.

I somewhat agree with MondoCool and say that the Dell systems are really really good. You can get anything from low end to high end with them. However, they are not the only company around. I was personally going to purchase from Hypersonic, because they have THE best laptop in the world right now, if you can shell out $4000, youll have a desktop Core 2 Duo, 7950 GTX in SLI and 3 HDs, so you can do a RAID 0 with two and still have another HD for storage. You can also try alienware, as they make high end stuff too, but I think Hypersonic is better.

I would almost guarantee you that most any computer that you buy now will not have AGP and will have PCI-e 16x.

Unless you buy from a very very cheap company, I doubt you will have any problems with this.

Also, consider that the most powerfull models available on AGP are only the X1950 XT and the 7950 GT.

Anything more powerfull than that is most definately PCI-e, like any 8800 card.

Hello everybody!

Ive been coming to gamespot for years now but this is the first time I actually post here. Basically I have the following problem;

I bought an 8800 GTX so I could play all my games at max settings at 1920x1200. My favorite games are the Brothers in Arms games. I am getting well over 120fps with everything maxed out so that is a definate plus, however, for all I have tried, I cannot get AA to turn itself on.

I played BiA with a X1950 Pro AGP card before and managed to turn on AA for my games, for the life of me I cannot understand why I cannot force AA on this game with my 8800 GTX.

I would greatly appreciate it if any who wish to help, please skim through this thread I created at a hardware site. It will probably answer any questions you might have before hand. It even includes screen shots.
