Need recommendation for video card

Hey guys, I'm looking to purchase an AGP video card to install on one of my computers at work. I need the card to be able to play COD2 at 1280x1024 with no problems. I'm looking to spend around $150. Could someone recommend a decent card? Thanks in advance.

Testing my Raptor in raid 0

He can also just purchase an external hd, and copy his important data over, so he has the data on 2 locations, in case one goes down. And he can get an application to do this for him using a schedule. I personally dont trust a single drive myself. Which is why I just built a fileserver with a...

Server Backup Solution

I recommend a Tape library with something like Backupexec for the software. We use an Overland tape library with Commvault (software) at work.

Considering I score 9200 in 05 with my rig, that is pretty low. Reformat ftw.

Which memory upgrade?

I guess what you mean is either run 4 512's vs 2 1GB's? They say that running 4 memory dimm's would hinder your performance because it forces the system to run at a 2T command rate vs 1T. Now how much of a performance difference are we talking? I dunno. :P

Deciding between two different setups or...

Great job on the part selection ;). I honestly don't see the point in waiting. *edit* One small suggestion, I definitely recommend you go with a 2x1GB set for your memory.

How long till Dual Cores get really taken advantage of?

I encode everyday with CCE (Cinema Craft Encoder) which supports multiple processors, and it cut my encoding time in half when I made the switch to dual core. So it looks like my Dual Core setup is already being taken advantage of. :P

I'm an owner of an x1800xt (purchased in Dec) and I had heard about the x1900 series, but I didn't think they would be released so soon. So do I regret my purchase? Nope I don't, luckily I play at a low resolution (1680x1050) with eye candy and my games look and run perfect (and thats all I...

What does Socket M2 provide? Only DDR2?

All, Broly is probably 13 years old (or younger) . So cut the boy some slack ;). Also don't blame him for his immaturity and / or rudeness, blame his parents. If my son acted in this way, he wouldn't have a computer in the first place. What this child needs is discipline (perhaps we can start...

Plantronics audio 90's worthwhile?

I had the audio 90's before purchasing my DSP 500's. The audio 90's are excellent headphones for the price (great mic too). I switched to the DSP500's because they're digital, don't require a sound card, very comfortable, and have an excellent mic. Check them out when you get a chance.

new pc TOTALLY FINISHED

A good way to start is by taking both of the side panels off of the case.This will allow you to look for places to hide your wires (other ways that you can pass the wires through, while hiding as much of it as possible.) And believe me, you will find some. Just take a couple of minutes and look...

Makes sense to me, Computers are great write off's during taxes. Hrmm, I still smell jealousy. But anyway, Quad core? I had no idea. But now that you mention it, I'll look into it. I don't mind passing down my current rig to my wife. Well, they certainly are serving they're purpose.
