and on top of that...it looks like this

(the yellow one)

Serien

another question...

what are the stats of the ATI RADEON 9800 SE 128M?

i cant seem to find them....

like whats the mhz, the bandiwth, etc.

and...is it worth paying 20 bucks more than a 5600 256mb for?

thegravyboat

anything that has SE or MX or whatever is always a cut down of the real thing, so I assume its not as good as the true 9800.

I'd pay 20 bucks more

I build computers in my spare time. Right now, I am busy with work so I haven't built one in a couple weeks. The wife also wants a little extra every night, so, you know about that.

Serien

hi joseph/tyler

har har har...wife, yea right

don't lie....you dont build computers, you dont even know which slots contain your ram better yet....YOU DONT EVEN KNOW WHERE YOUR AGP IS!

but as i was saying....

so i should pay 20 bucks more than the 256mb 5600 and go with the 9800 se eh?

Serien

i see that djin isnt here there is no one to help me out

how does the radeon 9800 se compare?

i mean...whats the mhz...and the bandwith?

is it worth the extra $120 on the pc?

Serien

i smell a deletion / ban coming

BAD JOEY!

Avid_Gamer88

I am only as bad as the person who told me to come to this forum.

Serien

tyler?

he told you to come and blow my name...

just like i did to him at his site

 that was hilarious

he gets soooo pissed soooo easily

*EDIT

you got OwNeD by admin

well back to the topic

Djin... what have you overclocked your fx 5600 to?

Serien

......

*clears throat*

anyway, Djin as i was asking, what did you overclock the MhZ to?

because you said that the mhz is faster than the 5900 right now...

btw gunblade... go look on newegg, it dosent show the bandwith the pixel text refresh rate

 

so there

ya know, neweggs not the only place to research stuff! ever think to visit the official nvidia/ati site?!?! its not that hard to type!

Serien

yea i did

and i also visited man y other sites too

but noooooone say what the bandwith and refresh rate of the 9800 se is!

thegravyboat

Yea i think its bout time this post get closed......  seriously, always go with the better vid card when buying, the SE is a cut down version of the PRO.   Its like the Mx of the nvidia's.  The only true difference is the core speed.

Serien

no i think you are wrong

if your mind had the capacity to look at the posts, you would see that many people are benefiting

this thread gives deals, and all sorts of help with computers

*back to topic before we were rudley taken off

but the pro is ANOTHER 100 bucks add on to the se

will the se really affect my gaming that much?

and which nvidia does it compare to?

SatansDisciple

id read the reader reviews on newegg for better insight, since many of use probably havent used these cards. they seem to think its pretty god though. that 9600xt looks pretty kool too...

Serien

yea but the xt's are pricey

whats up with the 9000 all in one wonder?

....i doubt it's better than the 9800 se, but im just wondering

Serien

ok i need your opinion on something

this case has noice cooling

2 back fans, one fan on the side, and a fan in front, obvioiusly there is space for a fan on the cpu and all the necessary fans

do you think it is well?

i mean, i think it will keep my pc c0000000l....all those fans, what could make it frY?

opinions please...thanks

heres the pic form the side..... (the yellow one is the one i am choosing currently)

and here is the pic from the corner view...

as you can see, the lights are very attractive indeed

SatansDisciple

that 9000 vid card would be good if ur into video editing or something like that. and i dont think fans put ur machine at much risk. thats a pretty badass case too, i love the window paint going with the fan. heres my alienware wannabe case, hehe:

u mean this

is this what djin was taking about as alienware wannabe?

lemme show you alienware

...dude ive seen many of what you are talking about, but i didnt know it looked like the ones ive been seeing for ages..

i thought it was actually like alienware

hehe

SatansDisciple

well the front looks like an alien, and the fan grill is an alien face. its like my honda motorcycle of the pc case world, hehe.

Serien

yea lol

but then check out www.cyberpowerinc.com

they have many pc's with those cases

Serien

yea they are nice indeed

but gunblade...then just answer this last question

9800 se

or 5600/256?

fatalblitzz

umm im not sure if i can use foul language, but my brother calls any of the "SE's" the Sh*tty Edition and i kinda think thats funny....anyways is the 5600 an ultra or what? if it's an ultra then yeah go for it, but if its not then i dont think you should take my word of advice...
