| | Hi All,
| |
| | We are about to buy a new computer and are looking at a Dell and an
HP.
| I
| | don't want to start a Dell vs HP argument, but one of the components
| that
| I
| | am weighing into my decision is the graphics card. I realize that
| neither

| |
| | The Dell XPS 410 has the Nvidia GeForce 8600 GTS w/ 256 MB memory.
| | The HP m8000y has the ATI Radeon X1700SE w/ 512 MB memory.
| |
| | While I have been able to find some info on the GeForce, I know
nothing
| | about the Radeon.
| |
| | Or, would I be better off just getting the cheapest card option
| available
| | and buying my own?
| | I believe the Dell has a 375 watt PS and the HP has a 350 watt PS.
What
| | could I get for either of those machines that would be better than the
| | above? I really lust for the GeForce 8800 GTX, but I have read that I
| would
| | need a much greater PS, and is a little pricier than I can go. (it is
an
| | available option on the Dell, but is $700 more--and I thought it
needed
| a
| | greater power supply anyway......)
| |
| | Please go easy on me, I am not extremely well versed.......I just know
| | enough to be dangerous. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
| |
| |
| | Thanks,
| |
