hey escrotumus....im close to getting 8800gts 640....how much improvement will i see over my 7900 gt??? now i m getting excited...yea baby.....( Austin Powers voice}

i m guess i m outta the loop....i would have thought that there would be a sticky somewhere about this...well its all good anyway

i m on the fence Jkeefe { hey you live close me lol } 2900xt seems like with some driver help it could be killer card for the money...i m on a budget and after doing some checking around ...my power supply is 420 watts 12rail 18amp so it will be ok for 8800 gts but not 2900xt.... so doing PS and vid ...

hey fellas...almost ready to upgrade from 7900 gt and was thinking of going with either 8800 gts 640 or 2900xt but wasn t sure if ATI still had lower res. problem...i have analog th2go version....

i run racing sims too and nascar 2k3 is no problem but rfactor you might need to turn down some things but it isn t that bad.... my setup......amd 64 3800,7900 gt. 1 gig cosair ram....and triplehead2go of course

i have it and its not a problem...i did make sure to get the thinnest bezels i could find to make it less obtrusive though

i just order them from newegg...thanks for your help...love small bezel.....

thanks for reply Tucson....not sure now ....do u think i should stick with 19 " lcd ?...if u had 300.00 to spend on each monitor what would u buy?... i just want to play nascar racing 2003 at 3840x1024 with decent response times..... have mix and match crt s and it s driving me nuts... bezels are ...

i think i m going with samsung 204b 20.1 " lcd.....1600x1200 and 5 ms what do you think folks.....

if i did go with the 3 20 ' samsung 205bw what would be my highest resolution with nascar 2k3??? i guess what ever the highest widescreen resolution is right..... even thou monitor goes up 1680x 1050....

unless i go to 20 inch widescreen......man that adds some greenage to the whole thing...have wife 3 kids...don t want to be playing n2k3 in some cheap motel room { after wife throws me out for miss appropreations of funds} lmao.... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: although i ve seen samsung 205bw ...

thanks for info...i really want to go widescreen but i ll have to drop resolution to 1280 x 768 x 3 ..the higher the resolution the more vivid and crisp the display especially in nascar racing 2k3....it s just hard to go down when your used to the sim in a certain way..was running it at 1600x1200 ...

I could use some help guys... i m running triplehead so why would i need widescreen ? i m getting plenty of wide veiwing... plus widescreens odd resolution although widescreen lcd s bezels tend to be narrow....with normal screens i could run right resolution for triplehead and get a more top to ...

yeah Tucson is right...your cpu is fine for now(i have same cpui so i know) but its my overclocked 7900 gt that keeps me gaming at a decent level...(eye candy] Now i m more into sim racing (nascar racing 2003 papy) than fps but i still do my share of both....we all can t throw down 300 twinkies each ...

hey Jkeefe...Your just a few exits on rt. 78 from me...... i m exit 24 oldwick....

Ati just doesn t support higher resolutions....was running 800 pro just fine with my triplehead2go except only at 2400 x 600.....tried contacted Ati on the matter but didn t get anywhere....so i now have 7900 gt and it works great too, but now have higher resolutions....

I m about to go from crt to lcd....was going to go 3 19 " widescreen but i m leaning towards non widescreen now....not sure what type of monitors to get though......

you know i went to best buys and they didn t have the lg model we ve been talking about on display but the bezel does seem big which won t work for me ...i can t wait to get rid of my crt s just for that reason....thanks for all the help ... :)

i m leaning towards this one...haven t found many reviews yet http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7692142&type=product&productCategoryId=pcmcat88600050004&id=1138083975957
