Hi,

For the first time a year or so ago I built my first PC. I was able to
pick my own hardware and keep out the bad pieces of hardware that dell
and other prebuilts often shove in. They sell you the fastest
processor but then shove in crappy mother-board and you have a lot of
speed that cannot go fast. Or stuff a slow video card with a big fancy
number name.

I have been trying to research some hardware but I am stuck on some
parts. I was hoping the group could give me, or email me, some of the
experiences with Video cards, motherboards they have used.

1. I am unsure what is the best video card for the money. I do not
want to spend money on something that is going to drop in price in 6
months. Nvidia, ATI it matters not to me. I just want the best bang
(in reason) for the buck.

2. What mother-board, my last one was an abit but some of the reviews
on the new ones are mixed.

Interested in hearing what other people are running and how good and
what their experiences are. I am confused in these two area.

Thanks you very much!

EVERY video card will drop in price within six months as newer model
come out. Early obscelescence seems to be a by-product of an
ever-increasing rate of technological innovation.

What Tom said is true. New cards are released every six months, thereby
lowering the price of the older models. Currently, the best bang for the
buck IMO is the X1900GT, if you can find one close to $200. Otherwise check
out the 7900GT.
