your question how good is it will depend on how will you use it for,......it does not perform well with games, but I'm sure it is way better on HD movies and other multimedia,...I've seen benchmarks on hybrid crossfire( 780G chipset + HD3450 ) and it performs pretty decent on games like COD4...

go for the latest quad, but if it is between Q6600 and E8400 then I'll go with the latter,....:rolleyes:

yes, but I don't think pci-e 2.0 would mean such difference in performance right now,.....my vote goes for the HD3450

phenoms,....yes they're not that perfect yet,...but athlon X2's? They almost beat every pentium d's arse to dust:P how about comparing p4's to athlon x2's....:rolleyes:

you've probably hated amd that much to say things like that,................:confused:

So you downloaded directX 10? from what website?

51 celsius while idle, 60-64 while gaming,......could there be something wrong with the fan? like it is slowing down or something? everytime the freezing occurs I always check whether the gpu fan is working and it looks okay.

I'm having this problem for mos. now. Randomly, while playing games my pc just freezes with the looping sound in the background then dead silence a few seconds after. I thought it was a psu problem so I did change my psu, but it still freezes randomly. I already reformatted my computer a couple...

the x1550 will be my best choice,...

its my first card as an average gamer,.....finished doom3 with it :D

here's mine Integrated S3 Graphics Pro Savage DDR - 32 mb Geforce 4 MX 440 64mb SDR Asus 9550 TD 256 mb Sparkle Geforce 4 MX 440 64mb DDR Agp 8x Integrated Via Unichrome Delta IGP 64mb Inno3D Geforce 7600GST DDR3

the dual-core celeron E1600 perhaps? i heard intel released it yesterday, here are some benchmarks done with the new budget dual-core cellies:) http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/display/celeron-e1200.html

the second option sounds good,...as long as you can get a good laptop for $500.:)

can't see your screenshot, it's too small lol:) What is your laptop specs? You could be running out of memory.

That would depend on your choice preference,if you got the budget why not? But i don't think there will be much of a noticeable difference between the two speakers though. The x-530 is good enough for me. Does the the fatality x-fi has a usb port? Because i don't think that yor headphone can...

The 1gig memory the 8600GT has is absolutely useless for today's games, 512mb is more than enough even for crysis. If you can find an 8600GT DDR3 or an 8600GTS DDR3 that would be much better. If you got the budget the 3850 is faster than the 8600 series,...

hmm,.....it could be a psu problem, better have it replaced as soon as possible as it may damage your other components,

that will be enough,...try the psu calculator http://www.extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp if you want to be certain,.

what other components does it have? it will probably suit you just fine:)

how many slots do you have? if you got only two, better have two 1 GB sticks for dual channel support if you mobo supports it,.....if you got 4 slots,....add 2 more sticks of 512's,......and no, you won't notice any difference when surfing the net and just a little performance gain in gaming:)
