No.
Ok is it worth paying another £150 to get an X800 XT then?
many of us would say probably not because the 6800gt would be awesome and we couldn't justify the extra money. Depending on the rest of your machine specs the £150 might be put to best use in to buyer another component. But if your spec is good and you really have the money, it will give better performance!
Ok
The PC im thinking bout is Athlon 64 3200+
1024mb DDR Ram
A8V Mobo
420 Volt PSU
6800GT 256Mb Gfx
160gig HD
Hyaundai 17inch CRT Monitor
Sony DVD-RW + DVD Rom
soundblaster audigy 2 sound card
Do u think that is a good spec machine?
yeah that a good spec, well it's your choice, if you have the money then go for it.
mate thats a weak hard drive size they are buttons nowadays i assume u will be gameing with your system ?Quote:

You can Softmod ur 6800Gt to 6800U(Voltage mod) and OC your CPU to 3800+ or 4000+.
How much are you paying for the GT in the first place ?Quote:

its pointless not getting the sweespot of price per gb of 200gb or maybe 250 when there isnt that much more of extra cost
and how do u know that our next version of windows is going to be any slimmer than xp ?
i think longhorn is going to be quite a bloater !
How many games do you have? Even at 6GB a pop that's still 25 games...
120gb is enough for my games and all my random crap, stop bein so fussy.
I cant spend anymore on this PC as this is goin slightly over budget,. Im paying £115 to upgrade from a Radeon 9800 Pro. I don't think I will need a bigger HD cause I won't be buying too many games. Im looking to get Half-Life 2 and Stalker after I get this machine. Most of my space will go on MP3's.
lol yeh are u forgetting i rip my favourite dvds and cds then oput them back in there case never to be opened unless i delete the image
i have tv captures etc of some shows i like and recorded from my dvb card
i also dabble with my xp install useing nlite to create customised discs some images smaller than your usual xp disc some larger
and since drives are getting more reliable these days im inclined to buy much more than i need to as im pretty confident that it will last me for a long time
oh i also gather up hdtv clips aswell , and they are hefty
download the videos that get posted in the cars section of hexus
things mount up end of story
