Need advice on video card selection

Hi, I'm looking to upgrade my workstation to Woodcrests 5160 probably using 5000x chipset with support for full x16 PCI-E, but I found myself in a weird situation on picking out the card. Here's the thing. I'm looking for a graphics card that will give me great performance but I am aware...

Woodcrest Motherboards?

Are there any Woodcrest motherboards with full x16 PCI-E, I looked at Newegg and it seems that all that I see have x8 PCI-E at the most? This is weird.

So what's the deal with Xeon 5080

Well I should expressed myself better. I'm impressed with Woodcrest, I just wasn't impressed with certain performance improvement over Optys 285 in certain things. I was expecting much bigger peformance gap and not only 5-10%.

So what's the deal with Xeon 5080

Can someone point out to some benchmarks or something regarding the latest Xeon Dempsey 5080 3.73Ghz with 4mb cache. This processor seems very interesting and I'm wondering if it's better buy then Opterons 285s. I'm getting to upgrade my dual proc machine and want the best. I wasn't that...

Help me with tips about Nvidia 6200 PCI and ATI X800 XT PE work right in the same PC

Siwy, 7800GS SuperClocked is not slower then X850XT? I get around 100 fps in CS:S at 1680x1050 with 4xAA 4xAF all high. I got 60-70fps framerates on my X800XT PE at 1280 resolution. Trust me it's actually faster. I do agree that a lack of second DVI is a big drawback but the picture on my...

Help me with tips about Nvidia 6200 PCI and ATI X800 XT PE work right in the same PC

6200OC seems like a VERY nice card. I had ATI 9250 in there and it was INCREDIBLY slow. 6200OC works great. Don't play games though, but read reviews on NewEgg or somewhere else. I think people are having solid framerates. My card is BFG 6200OC 256 TurboCache DirectX 9.

Help me with tips about Nvidia 6200 PCI and ATI X800 XT PE work right in the same PC

I don't think so..I think their drivers are actully optimized to support more then 1 card..even if it's AGP and PCI..They had SLI for a while now and they ironed out the drivers..ATI on the other hand did not, thus problems. Don't forget they also have X2 Quadros..so I'm pretty sure I won't...

Yeah Siwy, I have a Radeon 9250 in PCI here too but it just doesn't work right even with another ATI card in there. I've read through forums and ATI support and they say that problems with 2 ATI cards in the system are almost a certainty because the driver cannot handle two different cards at...

x850xt games performances

PSU is not strong enough and it's not feeding enough juice to the card. Go to your local electronics store and get ANTEC 550W supply or even ANTEC or Fortron or Seasonic >450W psus.

2 7800 GT's in SLI or 1 X1900XT?

I'm wondering about the same too..I have a 7800GTX that I might want to exchange for X1900XTX since I'm still inside the 30 day timeframe, but I'm not sure if it's going to work with Asus A8N SLI and NForce chipset.

I think it's great. It works with everything you can imagine. It's so simple to set up, it's a breeze. It feels like a quality remote (quality materials used to make it). I do agree that the price might be a bit too high. If it was $100-$120 range it would be worth it. But again, they do have a...

You also may want to look at B&W speakers. They are suppose to work best with Rotel amps/receivers. I've heard them at a small custom a/v shop locally and it sounded truly spectacular. B&W
