herig2 Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 (edited) Been grounded for a while. My graphics card went. It’s an AGP card which I was told by computer guys in the big box stores and a custom builder its out dated. I can’t even get an equal to it. Everything is PCI Express, Even tried sites such as Newegg, Tom’s etc. AGP cards that are available are low end. Time for a new unit. With the blessing of my wife, who told me “Don’t go cheap, get something that will last”, I order this unit from Dell. Ship date is 9-8-09. XPS 730x H2C i7-975, 3.33GHz. 8Mb L3 Cache SLI Dual NVIDIA GeForce GTX 295, 3.5GB 6GB Tri-Channel DDR3 at 1066MHZ 256 GB Solid State Drive Dual Drives, Blu-ray Disc Burner and DVD-ROM Killer K1 Gaming Network Interface Card Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Didn’t go for the liquid cooling, since that added an extra month to the ship date. So until then I have to use the old graphics card and a CRT monitor. Damn, I miss the 30” wide screen. Edited August 12, 2009 by herig2 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
