Its the content of your words not your level of gramer compitince that makes the pen great



Not true... Well SPOKEN words might have their merit. However, those same thoughts poorly penned are about as useful, and as likey to be consumed, as a pizza that was dropped and run over by the delivery guy. The taste is the same, but they aren't likey to be eaten or enjoyed, fully.  (or taken seriously)

Nobody expects anybody here to type Pulitzer-style. Just take the time and pride to not be hideous about it. You'd expect a person to take some extra time and pay attention to details when helping you. Do the same when asking.

Ah, I finally figured it out............... gee I'm slow......

You need a 7900GT or

a 7600GT if the other is too pricey.

The mystery is your mainboard, but the above should work regardless.

I predict the card will settle down in price, it's currently in high demand with a "shortage" touted by the retail sector.

Well, not really murder on all PC's, just ones with inadequate hardware.


Use Everest to get your system information if you like, it should show your mainboard model number and dozens of other system specs/parameters.

I have never found PCs to be murder to my budget. I make $510 a month at Staples (and I'm getting a $1 raise soon when MA changes their minimum wage). And I have alawaies found a way to budget out Computers, Airsoft, social life, and Travel expences (every year I travel the country with C.A.R.).

Basically if you just make a list of the parts you want, and put say $100 a month aside for them in about a year you will have about $1200 to play with. Now thats alot of wating, however think of every christmas, or your birthday, you get a almost completely new rig.
