How will those run?

[RUDEBWOY]

Well its time to update of course the dual core 2 is the new thing out....any way i have 1100 to spend and tommrow im removing my mobo saying bye to it and putting a intel dual core 2 2.6 ghz in it with 2 gig ddr 2 ram i just bought a video card like last a week a nviida 7800 agp 8 x so ill be using that...any way how will this set up run?

 

[johnmayo]

Why are you getting AGP?
Why not SLi?
But everything else is hella good..

Don't get me wrong thats a good Video card..But its a lot better in the PCI-Ex16 interface..

 

[RUDEBWOY]

honestley the rsn im going with the agp is i just bought the agp card like one week ago im not a gamer really i only play one game called sims 2...so the nvidia 7800 agp 8x is dam perfect for it...if i was a big time gamer i would def go sli or w.e but its a waste of money going that way...i went to tiger direct and its costing me around 1000 didnt check shipping with that...any way hopefully tommrow this lady i know who always gets the parts from the manufacturers will get it for me at this price or cheaper...so i can have it done tommrow asap...as for the case i have a realy sexy all clear acrylic case 3 hds 250 gigs each and all the other stuff so i just need the mobo,dual core 2.6,and the ram...

btw would i be able to run my 7800 agp 8 x in a pci express pc?if not im screwed..

bUmp...so can i use my agp 8x on a sli mobo and i have a 550 watt aspire on my current pc for my intel p4 can i still use that also?

 

[johnmayo]

You cannot use a AGP card in a PCI-Express slot or PCI slot they are way different..
Most likely the Power Supply will work.

 

[RUDEBWOY]

O dam is there mobos with dual core that has a agp slot in it? and pci and pci express slots?

 

[johnmayo]

Yes..What socket is your Processor..I will find you one..

Nevermind..I couldn't find any but what motherboard are you getting?

 

[RUDEBWOY]

o ok thats all im wondering cause im going to the pc shop tommrow where i have a hook up so im looking to get the dual core 2.6 ghz with a mobo supporting agp 8x and 2 gig ram for the dual core if u can...can u pick me out the stuff on tiger direct will def appericate it thanks..

 

[johnmayo]

Dual Core 2.66ghz Intel Core 2 Dou
Motherboard
RAM
Graphics Card

Or This Video Card...

Why do you need such a powerful Processor?
Also do you need a Harddrive?
Or DVD or Cd drives? Or case?

 

[RUDEBWOY]

well i really want a higher end pc for my self...any way um that mobo dosent have the agp 8x slot i dont see it on the specs any where as for the dvd stuff i have everything i jus needed the ram,processor mobo and fan for it,

 

[johnmayo]

The Processor has a fan and heatsink and thermal pad..But your going to have to get a PCI-Express card...
Those one I showed you are perfect for you..

 

[RUDEBWOY]

hmm i guess i gotta do more looking cause i just bought a nvidia 7800 agp 8 x and def would rather use that...so i need the agp slot in a dual core mobo..

 

[johnmayo]

Also make sure you use a Serial ATA 3gb/s HDD..That way you get the full speed out of your machine..

 

[RUDEBWOY]

you know what the toal is only 795 so i can get a better sli card if anything i have 1100 to spend.

 

[johnmayo]

So do you want me to pick you out a SLi motherboard and Cards?

 

[RUDEBWOY]

well it seems i cant find a agp slot for the video card now the stuff u showed me everything comes out to 795 with out the video card if u can find be a great video card pci express itll be perfect...remember my limit is 1100.

[RUDEBWOY]

[johnmayo]

Yes..With that motherboard you cant put two of them video cards in or any other SLi video cards...

 

[RUDEBWOY]
