cool, thanks, just one more thing. If i get a 7600GT, would i get a bottleneck with the CPU when playing newer games?

well, technically my computer has a 250w Dell Standard PSU. Dell rate there PSU's on AVERAGE power rather than maximum power output. http://forums.us.dell.com/supportforums/board/message?board.id=dim_video&message.id=45483 So it really is a 345watt PSU I haven't added anything to the Orignal...

Okay, So i have a 4ish year old Dell Dimension 8300. It has a 2.8 ghz Pentium 4 processor, and 1 GB of DDR Ram, 2 256mb modules and 1 512 module. It also has a 9800 Radeon Pro 128mb AGP Card. My computer has been fine for playing most games but on some newer titles i've been playing like...

well, i can't really aford a new computer, and dell still sells things like this Dell Computer However, i still got one question. Should i get a IDE HDD or a Sata HDD? is there any difference performance wise?

I have a 4year old dell, and both of the HDD's in the machine have died. I have the windows xp code, and the reinstallation cd that came with the computer. If i buy a new HDD, will i be able to install the copy of windows i have? Or do i have to go buy another copy? thanks in advance :D

well, after running Dan's nuke and boot, Bios will still not read the HDD. But 80gb HDD's are cheap, i'll see if i can get one and install windows on it. (unless anyone else has some smart ideas) I know it's 4 years old, but It's still faster than some of the computers dell stlll sells now :)

well, i actually have 2 other computers, but i can't put the HDD's in them. They are both Macs :) No-one should have messed with bios. However I managed to get Dan's Nuke and Bust to reformat the toshiba HDD. It's working on it now, so hopefully i can reinstal windows after it's finished. btw...

yes, i tried each HDD indivdually, and made sure the jumpers were where they were meant to be, but the bios still doesn't recognize them. unfortuabtly i don't have another pc i can plug the HD's into.

yes, you are right, 2 hdds I'm not sure which HDD failed, neither of them register in the bios, but i think it is the segate, as an earlier secondary HDD in the comupter failed before. I have a DVD-RW or sumthing, just 1. that and the floopy drive are connected to the other IDE slot in the...

well, The Harddrive is a toshiba 80gb HD, and the other one was a 120gb seagate. I checked the Power cable and the IDE cable, and they were fine. no-one would have touched them anyway. the 80gb HDD is the stock one that came with the computer. Both the Harddrives were mounted in the 2 slots my...
