     Good Morning Guys and Ladies,     Here's wishing you ALL a very nice day and may your problems be very tiny.

     As most of you know by following my present  POST that I'm in the process of building a PC just for FSX and VISTA..

    ctjoyce and congo are the main helpers with good comments  and suggestions from others.  

     As I check out the items / pricing / and the reviews ,  I'm almost ready to buy the parts and get it together  - - -as such.    But only with your continued help which is GREATLY appreciated.

    The  recommended  "GPU "  newegg.com / item # N82E16814130249      was  out of stock  and now it is not even listed.     Would you recommend another supplier or another  "GPU "  ?

     Thanks again for your much needed help,

hold off on the vid card. Dx10 isn't out yet,and buying a card now would practically be a waste of money. i you have a card to throw in this PC for now, do that.

but if you want to, a 6600GT has been widely reccommended.

Meh, DX10 isnt but a distant dream. Nothing is going to support it fully for the first two years whilst everyone switches to Vista. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6814130277 I think thats what I suggested. Unfortunately the 7900s are very popular, and hard to find now.

Cheers

Don't panic, caveman, the cards will be back in stock very soon and we may even see a price drop, so loosen your kilt and wait a few days or so.

Are you getting this thru newegg? Name your supplier and we can have a look at alternatives just in case.

     Hey Guys,     Do you think you can stand more of my  "lack of  PC parts intellect  ?     I hope some of my questions will give you a SMILE  

    Ramos,    Thanks for a possible part should the other not become available for some time. [ There is a sorta time frame ] .      Appreciate your thoughts.

    At this time lets all  "lighten up" and take a smile on  ME.      What is this "  DX 10   "   I keep reading about  ?        Also if that didn't give you a smile - - - try this one - - --  Am I reading the reviews correct - - - sounds to me  that a  "motherboard" comes with this video card you suggested  cameron  ?         And another question concerning this  "card", Do I still need two of them ?

    Congo ,  Yes - -  www.Newegg.com is where I will be getting [ at this time ]  all but one part which would be the power supply.     My Friend,  you GUYS  keep my finger off the PANIC button - -  can't go wrong with with you guys helping me .    I'm in no hurry  - -  just want to get it right the first time ,       too poor for many  "shots" at it.

      You "Guys are just GREAT - -  Thanks  so  much,  - -  caveman    

     Kilt      ;D         Love it - - caveman

Unfortunately the 7900s are very popular, and hard to find now.

The truth of the matter is probably more due to the fact

     Hey  congo,     appreciate the info,  as you know ,  I'm 72 and have been seeing this kind of  "stuff " for many years and many of those that "watch over us "  look the other way.

    Thanks for the new input,  will check it out. I'm in no hurry  - - just want it right the first time around.        Wishing you and all you  "others" a nice day.

  Hey congo,    just checked out that last info   - - - it's out of stock already             Just like you said
