Default 7800gtx

I assembled my pc last month and i wanted the best
graphics card the market can offer. Just then The 7800 GTX came out. It
was one baby every gamer would wan't to hold.(At least try it once). I
desperately wanted to buy it. The price was a bit exaggerated
i thought (Actually it costed more than my assembled pc(2 GB ram, AMD
athlon 6400,2 MB L2 cache, 120 GB hardrive,Dell 8 bit LCD...... ). But
i managed to buy it. I almost became breathless when i played
POP:TTT(prince of persia : the two thrones). It almost made me cry. And
NFS:MW was totally rocking!


Even if ur not able to buy it, jus' try it
somewhere, it's worth killing someone u love(if ur a hardcore gamer)!
believe me.

An Athlon 6400? Where can I buy one?

Really though, don't get too hung up on graphics cards, once the novelty
factor wears off and you realise you still can't run F.E.A.R or CoD2 on max
settings and you start reading reviews of newer and faster cards. I've made
this mistake too many times, paying over the odds for the 9800 Pro and
X800XT and this time waitied a bit before adding a 7800gt to my main system
(and when they come down even further, may add a second depending on the
state of the market at the time).

Yah man u re'lly get bugged up when the manufaturers start reducing the
prices jus' after we buy. But if u're trying to invest in ur PC. Jus'
wait some more...Till the ultimate baby..... The 64 bit processers
arrive...Right now They're a bit costly and the sofwares are'nt much
supportive..(We HAVE got the MS 64 bit XP (os), but they still don't
have the applications like MS office etc....) It requires some time to
get mature. These 64 bit processers are just out of the range. They r
no more like the todays pc. they provide full freedom for the game
developers so that they can create games which treat pc like a console.
Right now there is only one game which has been truely made for the 64
bit processers.

And for the athlon 6400 it's just my mistake I was jus reffering to the
64 X2.

I don't know where you live but at least here only really ultra-cheap
low cost PCs are not 64bit (i.e. some el-cheapo Duron systems), besides
most notebooks...

But I don't see 64bit CPUs arriving, they actually are already there...

and the sofwares are'nt much
supportive..(We HAVE got the MS 64 bit XP (os), but they still don't
have the applications like MS office etc....


So what do you expect an 64bit Office doing better than the 32bit version?

Well, the current 64bit PC processors _are_ like todays PCs. 64bit
indeed gives new possibilities but more for real-life applications like
databases and certainly less for games...

Right now there is only one game which has been truely made for the 64
bit processers.


Well, there are 64bit compilations of 32bit games from which one also
includes some improvements that also could have been done to the 32bit
version...

Benj, I see that u have a 64 bit pc. That does'nt mean that everyone
has it. It _has_ arrived! everybody in the world knows that.But what i
actually meant was that it has to get a lil' popular. IF ur playing a
32-bit game in a 64-bit processor it does'nt make any difference!!
Games which r especially dedicated for 64-bit processor only use the
full potential of the processor. For ur kind info, 32-bit PCs r not
exaxtly like the 64's.They'll have perfect edge over the 32bit WHEN u
hav 64-bit applications. It is true that the hardware manufacturers
advertise that there r a lot of applications...But it has to go lil'
bit further on that.

Well, of course the majority of used PCs is still 32bit (and that will
probably be the case for at least another year). But _new_ computers
which are available in stores are already 64bit for over a year now...

Exactly.

They are. Except the 64bit enhancement in the cpus they are basically
the same like 32bit PCs...

They'll have perfect edge over the 32bit WHEN u
hav 64-bit applications.


Of course, the same way for example a Mac has the perfect edge over a
Windows PC when running Mac programs ;-)

Besides that, 64bit doesn't automatically make a program run faster.
Really, usually most 64bit programs indeed are a bit _slower_ than their
32bit counterpart if the program can't make use of the specialities
64bit offers (i.e. bigger address space, additional registers)...

It is true that the hardware manufacturers
advertise that there r a lot of applications...But it has to go lil'
bit further on that.


Well, the are a few professional applications (i.e. expensive MCAD
packages) for WIN64, but basically that's it. For the consumer markets
there are just the few games for which a 64bit client also is available,
but they hardly justify the move to Winxp 64bit...
