I built a similar system a couple weeks ago, but recycled my GeForce 6200... which I'm regretting, so I ordered a 7800GT today (from newegg, they have an EVGA 7800GT with a motherboard deal for $350). Right now, I only have Call of Duty II running, so I'll be able to see what kind of performance improvements I get with that. Then I'll swap boards, throw in a couple SATA II drives, and set it up again. I'll have to go pick up BF2 soon!

The AI would really only be used in Single Player mode... but BF2 was geared to be a Multiplayer game. When you play online, ideally, you're playing against other PEOPLE. ;) |

I love when people say this. YES YOU CAN!! There is a HUGE difference in smoothness between 30fps and 75fps. People who say "too bad your eye bla bla bla" are just people who can't get above 30fps so they fall back on that line to make them feel better. |

I go to some trouble to ensure RF shielding is adequate on all of my electronics. I really don't understand why people actually pay extra to have a big RF leak in a computer that has operating frequencies throughout the VHF-Microwave region. Jim |

Yeah whatever dude. Most of us are over 25 years old and many of us have collections that probably cost more than the vehicle you drive. |

Multiple video cards working together to increase performance. From the link posted, connecting a couple identical video cards in SLI could yeild a 87% increase in performance. Very close to double the performance. Meaning you could get two BADASS cards right now and have major kick ass performance... or get one decent card now, and later get another (prices drop) and SLI them to get a performance gain instead of ponying up for another newer generation card. |

Who told you Battlefield 2 sucks? Whoever did probably sucks at FPS's, so don't listen to them. This is the game to have, hooah?
As long as you don't suck. |

Yep, that pretty much sums you up. But for the mentally challenged, I was referring to gun collections some of us "kids" own. Now take your 500 some odd posts and go troll somewhere else moron. |

Yes gaming mouse & mousepad that glow. Makes the computing experience more fun. The other thing is a: Griffin PowerMate I use it for one thing...so it's basically a $40 volume knob. It's cool though. Gets plenty of use with the 700 watt PC speaker system. ; ) PS: Nice rigs adair_usmc! |
