i'm looking for a motherboard.after then, i'll make think about HDD and Memory(1GB).

What parts do you have already? can you re-use a monitor? Case? Sound card? Modem? Floppy/Optical drive?

Are you willing to overclock?

Is SLI something you want to consider?

Will this be a gaming box, or do you do other things with it?

Grapic Card : GeForce 6800 Ultra 256mb

Processor : AMD Athlon 64 3700+ San Diego socket 939

Motherboard : Asus A8N5X or A8N-SLI

DVD+-RW : Asus 16x DVD+-R Burner with 5X DVD-RAM, model DRW1608P2S BLACK

Memory :

I don't have any idea about the monitor and case but the case that i'm looking for looks like >>>> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811133154

The monitor can be a CRT or LCD.But i'll play with it.

6800Ultra sucks at $259. You can get a better X850XT for about $160, or a 7900GT for about $300. I wouldn't go for the 6800Ultra.

i've decided 6800 Ulta because:

1. I see no reason why the 6800 Ultra is a better card - then benchmarks show no benefit.

2. These benchies are based on an old driver revision. You would not believe the difference a driver or BIOS update can have on the performance of a card. Not to mention that numerous patches have been released for the game(s). The 7800 GTX could have infinitely better performance, not to mention SLI could have a bigger performance gain.

3. You'd be better off buying a 7-series card - the 6-series is old technology.

You can get the 7900 GT for $309 (the cheapest ive seen) at newegg.com

ive decided 6800 Ulta because:

The 6800 Ultra was good in it's day, but it's day has long passed. Go for an X1800 XT or 7900GT.

 

[Korbin91]

yeah, dont waste your time with the Utra, didnt hear too many good things about it

 

[WINDSHEAR]

the 6 series is out of mode... far better off with a 7900GT or an equivalent ATI 😉 😛

 

[qtq]

what do you think about x850xt?

[Korbin91]

You should get the 6800 GS 256mb its less than $200 at newegg

-K- If you are going to the 7900gt for $309?? U is krazy 8O
Get the x1800xt 512mb edition at newegg for $329
Performance is better, price value is better and Ati is a better card for the price.

X850 is a great card but lacks sm3.0 🙁
Great agp card for price and performance wise, great is U are running agp, but if U R willing to spend, the best agp card today is probably the EvgA 7900gs sc [super clocked], It has pretty good clock setting and I think it has sm 3.0 Another great card by Nvidia. If Sm3.0 is a must have, stick with the 7800gs oc or the Evga 7800 gs sc.

First, that's old benchmark.

Second, 6800Ultra isn't worth $260. You can get a 7800GT for $260. Plus, you can find a X850XT for about $160 on newegg.


i decided to buy an Pci-en7900gt Top/2dht 256mb Ddr Pci-e Geforce 7900gt.

What do you thin about it?

 

[yourmothersanastronaut]

Yes. Get that card, you won't regret it.
