OT: In need of tech support

[Rockin Robbins]

Since you have a motherboard optimized for nVidea cards, I'd recommend that you slide one of those in there. Don't know if your mobo has SLI available, but I'm running 2 EVGA nVidea 7600GT's in SLI configuration and it's not bad at all. I can run 1152x864 85mhz with graphics settings WFO very nicely. I bought both cards for about $210 from NewEgg and saved a cool $150 from an 8000 series card, getting most of the performance. Edit: Well, scratch that suggestion! You have a single AGP slot motherboard. Of course you could scrap your motherboard, buy an Asus A8N32-SLI (also socket 939) for about $125, two 7600GT's for $200 or thereabouts and have less graphics power for the same money as just buying an 8000 series card. Sound good? Didn't think so... :hmm:

nForce3 boards and Vista? Problems? Talk to me about that one! I have a copy of Vista on the shelf (got the free upgrade with Windows Media Edition) and have no plans to install any time soon, but I'd like to know what would happen with my Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe board, which is also an nForce3. I don't see anything compelling in Vista anyway for now.

OT: ever use MoBo? It's pretty cool for plotting intercept courses. It might not be totally ready for prime-time yet but it'll rock your navigation world just the same! Anybody using it?
