| if you are looking at the 6600 or any of the 6xxx series from nvidia you may want to compare to the x800 series from ATI. My personal pick would be the nvidia card but really to each there own alot of it comes down to personal preference I go with the fact nvidia has had fairly solid driver support over the years and ATI well having decnet driver support now hasn't always been that way and you never know when it will stop again |

| ATi has made great steps. I say whatever is cheaper, You can read a billion reviews and take alot of peoples opinion and it iwll probably come out 50/50 . I back Nvidia with my life but thats cause i had a ATi card back when they were office not gaming cards. Personal and price is what i say. Either way they will push about the same FPS |

My advice?
Get rid of the Dell
Your 2.6 is going to run like 1.4 because there are cheap crap parts in it.
Return it and come to me, I'll build you a better computer for cheaper. |

Uhh, what component in a Dell is going to make it run slower? And I doubt you can come anywhere close to Dell's prices (with the same parts list or better)... unless you're buying parts in enormous bulk.

if I was going to be recomending a name brand pc it would be a dell they have great prices as well they have awesome support for their customers.
xpnsive if you wan't to build machines for people that is cool but as soon as you start to make a profit which I am sure you already have in some form or another and in a sence advertising it too people on the boards you are in violation of the forum rules of being a non paying advertiser. I am not going to delete this post or anything of the sort but please keep that in mind. |
