Video lag is much dependent on the game. That monitor (which is about the best value monitor in the world considering its specs and performance) will display 1600x1200. Whilst that GPU will run Unreal Tournament 2004 games with 32 people in them at a playable 50 frames per second, in later games such as Age of Empires 3, you're limited to 1024x768, and that's not even maximum detail. If it's all you can afford, then it's still a very good value card, but the 1800 version is a lot better and is a better companion with a 20" monitor.

I tend to prefer high detail over high res. The 800 won't make games look crap, I run a similar spec card now, the AGP Pro, and that runs most ace-looking games. I'd suggest 19", cheaper, and few games will allow 1600x1200 at respectable detail. I'd sooner have 1024x768 maximum than 1600x1200 minimum.

FISHNERD,
That's a pretty good choice for a video card. I think this would be a wiser choice if you saved up a little more and bought this!
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814102688
It's a much better card and it has 16 Pixel Pipelines instead of 12. The more Pixel Pipelines, the more moving objects that can be put on the screen. I'm getting The AGP version of this card for my computer and it's supposed to be the fastest AGP card on the planet. In PCIe x16 it's worth every penny of the $60 difference! Especially if you are a Gamer!!! You will thank me later!!!
sammorris,
Sorry I didn't see your post!!!

will it look really crappy on the 20 inch? with the powercolor?
i cant get a better one (X1800XT) without asking for more money..
and come christmas, i plan to get a new conroe system or somthing..
or do yall think i should just get the 1900XT and be done with it..?
but i will need to get a new monitor soon anyways.. this thing leaves a line that swirves to the right.. but it is not noticable unless it is displaying black or somthing..

Well, good luck then! The 1900XT will obviously be the best, but you know how much they depreciate.

I am. And it annoys me because I now have to try and convert these disks to JBOD since they're moving to a new controller eventually.

Really helpful. How about making a relevant addition to this discussion rather than just flaming other members. Go on then, you're so smart, tell me how I can move these drives from a VIA KT600 chipset to an nForce4 ultra chipset using only their integrated controllers and not doing anything to the partitions on the drives. Oh wait you can't do it, what a shame. I've no intention of counter-flaming, because it's immature, but if I did, I'd probably use this line.
were you born an idiot or is this a condition that you've developed over time?
I'd avoid posting such drivel in the future or you may find yourself banned.
Thanks for the support guys.

To All,
It amazes me that every once in a while someone shows up in this thread and for their first post flame somebody. To my knowlege, I've never seen this person post in this thread before. I'm also surprised that a Mod didn't issue a warning. I'm not suggesting banning catfreak, just a little straightening out. What he said was very stupid, meaningless and contributed nothing to this thread!

I am. Harsh buthow someone can make it to a senior member and then post that garbage is beyond me. It's just not called for and it doesn't look like he got the hint. Suppose he'll one day pet his cat while building a PC and then wonder why the RAM doesn't work...

Anyway, back to the grind. Do any of you guys know how far Sopocles OCed the Pentium D 805 with his build? What's the highest you guys know of someone OCing it stabily?

The grind? You make this sound like a chore of a thread, I think it's thoroughly interesting (although the hounds thread is arguably moreso with the movements of brobear, sophocles and others)
