What an Idiot I am.

Postby Mooneypilot1993 » Wed Aug 06, 2008 6:05 pm

Well guys, I made a big mistake. Here i am thinking yeh im Mr. Big Shot im gonna get a BFG 9800 GTX well you can guess how this ends up. Card wouldve been Perfect except i have an AGP motherboard. Well im returning the 9800 GTX and the only thing tigerdirect could find was a evga 7600 Superclocked. Well i want to ask how well will the 7600 run FSX. I doubt it will run it at all.
Sincerely
An Idgit,
Kevin :-[

oops forgot to include some more info. 9800 GTX would only fit Pci Express Motherboards and the 7600 was the last AGP motherboard card.
I still feel like a dummy. :-[

I think Fozzer has an AGP 7600 video card. Ask him all you want. ;)

Well always check your motherboard before you buy anything to attach to it.

Don't worry, I once tried to buy a PCI-E (Probably 6 or 7 series) when I only had a PCI slot.

I was also about 11 or so at the time, but ya know...
