As seen in your sig.
I'm still waiting on mine. We can then compare specs. Do you enjoy it so far?

Very good, altough I think you might want a GPU with more memory then 256 megs.

For the 6200 he is getting, 256 will be fine.

Nice, nice. One question: is Radeon better or is it GeForce?
PS: For Linux - too great. |

One rule though is that if you are interested mainly for applications/games that use OpenGL, then same level model from NVidia is faster. For directX powered though, this is not the rule. |

Is that pci express or agp? If it is pci is the memory channel dual? I'm interested cause I'm not sure if the jump to pci express is worthit right now.
On video cards, it is very important to read your chosen game's manual or look on the internet for reviews, and look for any problems associated with potential video cards. Some games definitely work better with different brands. I read recently that anything over 256 ram would still be redundant right now. |
