fuck radeon, o and the 6600, i was gonna get, but if i were u i would spend a little more money for the 6800 at least

Now dont even start this "this card is better shit" a 6600 series is a good card it will run most new games on high settings and some of the higher end games maybe on high/med settings.
the same class in radeon "ati" would be the x600 series. If you wish and have the extra money I would go for the nvidia 6800 vanilla or the ati x800 vanilla. You should look at about 150~200 depending on who makes the card.
nvidia vanilla 6800~ here (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814140067)
ati vanilla x800~ here (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814127176) note the mail in rebate which makes this card a $100 bucks!!!
best of luck

If you lick them do they really taste like vanilla?
-
i want a vanilla flavored video card! lol yea go with the 100 dollar card but remember, you get what you pay for.
-
I like my 7800 GTX It was worth the money......... ...... you get what you pay for. :002:
-
that 130 card is a good deal its an x800 vanilla cant go wrong.
-
Well the reason why Im asking is becuse someone just bought it and they bought a better one also. So they are trying to get rid of it. Should I jump on it for 140? or just let it go to find something better?
-
No not for a used card you can get it new for less! here (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814122201)
I'd just stick with a radeon.
-
Yeah id rather get an NVIDIA but money is kinda an issue right now being Im in school. I guess well see...thanks for all the input...
-
Money is an issue with many people except pat :cough: that is why I sugest the radeon for 100 bucks.
-
Does the radeon have a dual monitor output?

You would have to go look at the specs. It should say on there, but even if it did, u would have the same picture on both monitors
-
Really? The NVIDEA one comes with software I guess to make it where you can operate 2 seperate monitors from the same computer. I have the media center and it would be nice to be able to watch TV on full screen and then keep doing stuff on the computer on the other monitor.
-
That is just dumb and a waste of money lol watch tv while working on the pute. do one or the other you can do both and yes all video cards now support 2 monitors its the standard since so many wanted that option.
-
Also remember IF you want to watch TV on your computer AND work on it with 2 screens you NEED a TV tuner... ATI ALL-IN-WONDER type card would be what you are looking for or a just a tuner to go into a PCI slot. I could be wrong, but I don't think nVIDEA has a tv tuner in bedded card.
I am with Bone WHY would you want to watch TV and do things on the computer at the same time? I guess I could see it if you wanted to do some type of video editing. Remember this, TV watching and computer work (gaming) at the same time would take your CPU and work the shit out of it. So if your CPU isn't in the 3.0MHz+ (intel) or 2.2MHz+ (amd) range forget about it, even if nVIDEA has the in bedded card, you went with ATI ALL-IN-WONDER or a PIC card.

What you are looking for is a MULTImedia Center. To upgrade your
computer to a Multimedia Center you will need an ATI Radeon videocard,
some other stuff and a lot of software that you can get here:

NO he will need a ATI ALL-IN-WONDER card, NOT a Radeon

You can use both cards and a hell of a lot others versions to upgrade
your computer to a Multimedia Center,
Besides, an ATI All-In-Wonder card + remote etc. is much more
expensive then a ATI Radeon, and keep in mind that ThaSnyper doesn't
want to spend a lot of money!!

Guys, I have a good computer. HP Media Center about a year old. Just a Blah Vid Card. NVIDIA 5 series. I cant remember at the moment. I have the TV tuner and media center and whatnot. I have 2 monitors one is a 19 and one is a 17. Id like to get a better card so I can use both monitors. Im not looking to GAME and TV at the same time. I use my computer as my only TV. And so Id like to have a monitor just for the Tv and one that I can just sit and do whatever I need to on without having to minimize and all that jazz. Plus a better card would be nice to play recent games. Is that a good enough explanation? ha

No we need better details!
