I sent a C.V last week and haven't gotten a reply.....So, I hope sometime soon I will know what im doing.

You guys say that the power supply wont be powerful enough...If I get it..will the PSU like overheat and fry? What will happen to it is what im wondering?

Maby i'll go with an 8600 or 8700 or maby just a 7000 series card...dont know =\

www.chiefvalue.com

$200-$300 MAX

But would I be able to play Crysis and CoD4 with a decent frame rate?

I dont care if its an 8800 series one considering I dont have vista and I dont plan on having it so I wont need the DX10...And yes my PC WILL handle 2gig ram.

So get them. Your computer will be faster, especially in games. But the next time you get more money, get a new CPU.

Alright...Im ordering them next week when we get the money..around the 22nd or 23rd

I know what you guys are saying but atm all i want is a new card and ram...I get about $700-$800 from my parents taxes and I want to spend as less than i can but I want good stuff, so thats why I stuck with the 200-$300 range. And I want a 7000 series or an 8800 series and RAM..

Quote from anik360 :

The way I would do is hold back on the GFX card and get yourself a decent power to "actually run" the 8800 is get yourself a c2d most likely an e2xxx series and more specifically a 2140 or 2180 or go more on e6xxx, Qxxxx or the new e8xxx(wolfdale) chips, but do remember that the wolfdales do require newer chipsets with 45nm support. Next is to get ram and get XMS 2 because of 1.) it has gotten cheaper to get and 2.) provides quite a punch for its value (2gb version kicks ass I've got them). Third is just get a good PSU and get a beefy 650 watt ones and from a good reputable company. I didn't Mention HDD's because you can just transfer your old HDD in the new heart and the last two steps is getting a pretty solid case and a decent mobo. All together can come up to upto 350(or more) but worth every penny for the future.

damn, I didnt want to build a new PC..I just want to upgrade..

I think my power supply is atleast 350 watt maby 400 I didnt look close the other night when I had the case open..But I don't care if the card is getting held back, I just need a new card because the onboard card i have now is starting to get lines in games where I can see where they pieced the game together on the tracks or maps.

Quote from shiny_red_cobra :

I've checked it out on the HP website, it looks ok for an upgrade. My only concern is that Pentium 4 processor. It's a piece of crap compared to a core2duo, and it might bottleneck your new video card. You migh want to consider upgrading your CPU if you can.

How much would it bottleneck?

Edit: Is there a Offbrand name of 8700's or 8800's?

Ah, alright thanks

Quote from Scawen :

Curriculum Vitae, as posted by mcgas001.

It's a document (one or two sides of A4) describing yourself, including your educational / work / work experience in chronological order.

Also your address, current position, all relevant info and some personal info as well such as your interests.

It's a document which you can send to an employer so they know all about you before they meet you. It's the first step to any job.

Andy may take on some people as employees and there may be less formal work as well. In either case I'm sure he wants to know something about you so that's why he's asking for a C.V. He can read it and store it so he can look you up any time.

Your saying this Andy guy? I got an email from a guy named Jeff...Are they working together?

I just got an email from him...

"if you haven't can you please submit a C.V; this is just for our records."

Whats a C.V?

What are the stock specs and what are the overclocked specs and the temp?

Bout damn time nova

shift-s saves it in the shots folder

printscreen is window's default "print screen" button, it just puts it on the clipboard, it doesn't save it in physical memory.

shift+s takes you to the pits...I thought it was ctrl+s?
