Just to let you all know. Dell continues its use of many proprietary parts.
You'll never see another power supply like that used in the Dell XPS.
Its a whole separate flat compartment in the bottom of the case with 2 fans blowing from front to back.

resolution is a function of the video card and your monitor.
If you only have onboard video on the motherboard, you can add a new or used cheap video card if the resolution really gets to be a problem.
Buy one that matched the max resolution of your monitor. Or used monitors are cheap, if...
I believe cheap AGP cards will help keep prices low for PCI-E since its a type of competition.
But that is merely my opinion.
But its also my opinion as someone mentioned that AGP has a big user base so I don't believe it will be abandoned. I belive it SHOULD die a quick death but it will...
Well actually I was referring to both! Didn't you see the improvement? The GTO runs stock 350/900 with plenty of OC room, maybe the plain 6800 doesn't give as much improvement?

In my opinion it isn't worth the risk to your machine to try and get free music. Threats of virus, corruption, dialers, malicious destructions of dats just isn't worth it for me. Plus maybe I'm old fashioned but I like to support the artists I listen to by buying their CDs. If you have...
I use compressed air to blow out my fans and case every month or two.
The fans especially always have a very fine coating of dust on the outer edge of the blades.
I would think there may be some dust that accumulations around the fan spindle. So try a blast of compressed air right at the...
Rollo, Thanks for posting the lesson that many would attempt to elucidate but never as eloquently as you.
I've found honesty is always the best policy! What goes around comes around.
I can only repeat trite proverbs but its the best way to live your life.
Yes my GPU temperatures started increasing noticably with summer and I started looking into an extra cooler like a slot card or extra fan.
Actually turning on the AC solved the problem.
But I still watch temperatures like a hawk especially when hard gaming.
It doesn't take long for a card...
OK I'm not going to worry about the heat now because even 70°C is still a green bar. Above 70°C it becomes a Yellow bar. And even right after hard gaming its only 75°C-80°C tops. So that's not so bad with the stock cooler. I've read you can program Riva Tuner to measure temps during the game...
Yea that's Dell for you but I got a great price. But at least they gave it a separate model number on the Video card to prevent confusion. They sell Sound Blaster Audigy 2 cards as ZSs but they aren't even close. ...No hardware Dolby or DTS decoding, no Midi or gameport.
So maybe its an...
I have the great performer Nvidia 6800 GTO from Dell that is so great I have no reason to overclock it on DOOM 3, Rome Total War and all the latestest games of the day.
But as been posted here by others this card can reach 65°C Idle.
So if I'm just web surfing can I UNDERclocking this card...
This was too sweet a deal and Dell eventually got chips from Nvidia that can't be modified.
I am not sure of the date.
A new article explains the details on Retail cards not sure of Dell now. It Still works apparently on Retail AGP cards but PCIe card are now made with a new chip.
