    I think they should make a new section in General Discussion for this topic.

    64-Bit's going to be nice,  but unless the OS or game supports it... it's nothing fancy.

    I get paid this Friday...  I should have about 10 weeks of back money in my check...  It's only $0.75 extra a hour raise, but think about it...

    10 weeks x 40 hours = 400 hours x $0.75 = $300 extra in my paycheck... 

    Plus this week... and the overtime I did last week...

    I need to save money though...  I just spent $328 on what I have... and now I want another 512MB of RAM, a new heatsink/fan... more more!!!

    I missed getting the 9800!  I went to work and I picked up the money order before heading out...  when I came back to put the order in,  they where all sold out.  Now I have this money order for $243 and I can't get the 9800...  Hmmm...  I might have to get the GeForce FX 5900 for less. . .

    I don't know what would happen if I sent the money order in for more then the videocard.

    I bought a GeForce FX 5900...  the same one this site is giving away.  image

    I heard these cards can easily overclock to their 5900 Ultra big brothers. . .  :)

    Another plus!

    I wanted the 9800 but they sold out,  so this was the next best thing in my price range of $240ish. :)

    With Nvidia cards you should download a program called RivaTuner 12.4 and overclock it using "low level hardware",  if you're an ATI user...  you should download PowerStrip...

    For example...  my Nvidia GeForce 4MX 440SE came to me at speeds of 250Mhz (core) / 166Mhz (Since it's DDR-RAM my memory's running at 333Mhz)

    So that's 250/333.  When I over clock,  I can push my little card to 310/420.  I get faster FPS in games and overall better performance. :)

    Overclocking a videocard is simple...  and is done by software.

    Depends if that model will overclock that high...  You have to remember that each company makes their videocards a little different then the next.  You would want to get a videocard that has decent stock cooling if you want to overclock.

    You can also buy cooling for any videocard... www.3dcool.com is a pretty nice site,  but their prices are a little high sometimes.
