Thanks for all the info. I was pretty lost in the video card department.
On the video cards I would lean toward the nVidia GeForce 6800 GT. Another card mentioned was the Ati Radeon X800 XT. I noticed the 6800 supports 4x/8x AGP while the X800 is 8x AGP only. Where do I find out which one my computer has? Or am I looking at something that doesn't matter?
A larger power supply looks to be mandatory for these cards. NewEgg recomends at least a 350W. Should I get a 400W or even 500W? Again, being able to put the supply in a future build would be nice so I'm thinking bigger may be better. What about heat build up?
More to follow, Got to Go. :blush:
