get a 6600gt instead, the difference between 3000+ and 3200+ isnt big. Get a better psu. dont forget windows if needed

X24 · 08-06-2005, 03:30 AM

ya, that graphics card could be better.
u can get an X700 for 115, u will notice the difference alot.

EternityOfSuffering · 08-06-2005, 05:36 AM

For the video card, which is better, RADEON X600 XT 256MB DDR PCI-Express or RADEON X700 Pro PCI Express 256mb. The reason I want to get either one of these is for the PCI Express.

XHotxEx791 · 08-06-2005, 06:25 AM

Neither because none supports SM 3.0. But if you have to, the x700pro because it uses GDDR3 memory.

What are you using this computer for?

XHotxEx791 · 08-06-2005, 08:03 PM

I'd say a little ocing, due to the thermalright. And probably mostly for gaming.
