Getting a new video card
I already posted this in the thread, but just in case, I'm going to get Orange Box, but sadly I doubt my integrated 128 MB Vidcard can handle it. I'm willing to spend $100-$150 for an actual Vid Card, what do you guys recommend?

Crap. I'm far from my computer now, but I'll take a guess at its specs.
CPU: 3.4 GHz Processor - Pentium 4 RAM: 1024 MB Windows XP I have a feeling that's not sufficient information. There's nowhere I can't reach. Want obscure Classical Music CDs? Search: http://www.lib.uwo.ca/ PM me the code, I'll rip it for ya [MAX 2 CDS/User] |

Ah, my mistake. Anyways, again, I'm uncertain if this is the correct information, I'm a noob when it comes to computer, obviously.

Heh, I have still yet to get a card. But I will be getting one within the following week!
Someone suggested to me the new HD 3850. He must be crazy... they're over $200, from what I can tell. Or have I been looking at the bad sources. FELIPE NO Want obscure Classical Music CDs? Search: http://www.lib.uwo.ca/ PM me the code, I'll rip it for ya [MAX 2 CDS/User] |

What's this about Power Supply? Do 8800GT or 8600GT take a lot of power?
And thanks for the posts, I'm still thinking of getting 8600GT. That's all the money I have, and I just want to play Team Fortress 2 xD What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? Want obscure Classical Music CDs? Search: http://www.lib.uwo.ca/ PM me the code, I'll rip it for ya [MAX 2 CDS/User] |

Woot. Just got a XFX 8600 GT XXX... it was the cheapest one -- $100 ><'' Sucks that I can't get access to my computer until tomorrow night. But I was wondering if overclocking this card is advisable, or too dangerous for the card?
Anywho, cant wait to try out Team Fortress 2. Thanks for all the replies =) Jam it back in, in the dark. Want obscure Classical Music CDs? Search: http://www.lib.uwo.ca/ PM me the code, I'll rip it for ya [MAX 2 CDS/User] |

Dude. Wtf. My computer has a PCI slot, but there isn't any room to fit the fucking card. AHHHHHH. I AM SO PISSED. Is there a way to somehow get it to fit?

Oh wow, I'm an idiot. I should have opened my computer first to check what video card it can handle (instead of relying on you guys). Yeah, it can only handle PCI. Is there any way to convert to PCI-E, an adapter to have an external video card? ><
So I guess... what's a good PCI card? =/ Fucking emachines/dell. edit: Do you recommend buying a new mother board just for it? This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Ah damn. After all this hype of playing Team Fortress 2. I'll have to wait another few months to even afford a new computer. I'm might just say fuck it, and just get a PS3. >.>
