I wanna buy a new GFX card, and I have around 100 dollars.


Is the 9800 GTX good? Yes, I am a newbie at GFX cards and what not.

Or should I spend it on Xboxlive and a Wireless Adapter?

Looks pretty good, but I'm not too great with these things either. Just make sure its compatible with your other parts.

Well, a 9800 GTX is good but what kinda RAM and CPU are you running?

4 processors? You mean quad core? Shit if you have that kinda power and don't have a 9800 I would go with the 9800. What kind of graphics card are you running now?

8500 Gt. Im pretty sure it overheats, causing all my games to be choppy after 10-15 minutes. I keep this fan next to my computer though, which fixes it. But it's still annoying
