Should I keep 7800gtx 512 or sell it and get x1900xtx ?

It may be hard to get more than $750 since I have seen many retailers have them instock lately. I know nVIDIA is really pushing to get all the $750 backorders filled before they release their next card.

7800 GTX going up in $???

X1900XT is not always the answer. I have a Gigabyte GA-2CEWH board. I use ATI cards in some of my other computers. Until Crossfire works in something more than their very limited selection of motherboards, nVIDIA's SLI is my only choice.

Dell PowerEdge SC420 2.8ghz, 512mb, 160GB SATA $348 w/free ship

I put a PVR-250 and 2 PVR-150's in one with BeyondTV. I had so many problems that were very hard to pinpoint. We tried everything from reinstalling different OS's to using a house fan to blow in the open case. It stayed very buggy...artifacts, no color, no sound, cutoff shows, random resets...

BFG 7800GTX OC

A $250 vid card won't do nuthin for me. World of Warcraft at 1900x1200 on my Dell 24" with a 6800 Ultra bogs down to a slideshow with all details turned on. $599 is nothing to pay for something I use so much...but $1200 is alot for SLI and another $500 for a new SLI motherboard is hard to take.

Well is this that version you don't like or not? The description says it has everything you say it doesn't (ie., good formatting and useful commentary). To be helpful, please consider being more definitive with your comments and maybe offer an alternative title.

I started with Netflix and switched to Blockbuster. I just switched back. With 155 movies in my queue (everything from new releases to older movies), Blockbuster usually only has about 10 available. It's not acceptable and just doesn't make sense from such a large organization. Netflix would...

Jeff, it's just me and you. Kb got tangled up with Uppsala and has slowed considerably. I can't keep my production up because the wife is already complaining about the heat (she actually goes North for the winter). By Monday, I will have to turn off 3 of the 5 computers. :(
