Alright, i didnt even care about the SLI, just curiosity. Do i have to remove anything or just attack the new one. And what about the power supply????
usually store bought PCs have PSUs that just aren't powerful enough to drive a decent video card... I'd check the max wattage rating just to be sure
300W max I think
This is the info that i got it from:
Input:100-127V~7A , 200-240V~4A 50/60Hz
Output: +12V -------- /19A, -12V --------- /0.8A
300W MAX. +5V -------- /30A, +5VSB --------- / 2A
+3.3V -------- /28A,
+5V & +3.3V 180W MAX. +5V & +12V 288W MAX.

She seems like a math genius to me
Also, Issp = In school suspension?
Yes, and OSS is Out school suspension, similar to ossp.

Your computer is an HP (I'd assume, as this motherboard was produced strictly for them) with an Asus M2N68-LA motherboard, that TV tuner is sitting in a x1 slot........the black slot is a x16 slot, and your new video card would go in there.
SLI is not an option for you with that motherboard, you need two x16 slots on an SLI capable motherboard. Not to mention I highly doubt the power supply in that box could handle it either.

That video doesnt show anything for power, its just for installing a video card in general. Does that mean i have to remove my tuner card cause i dont think i have to. But then where is my video card???
Is the power slot visible in the first picture i posted??
EDIT: Just so you everyone knows, its an EVGA 8600GTS 512MB with a 2 4-pin Molex connector.

Alright, i was looking on how to connect my card to my computer (i still havent gotten it yet). I want to make sure that i dont have to buy anything extra, just incase i need to.
First of this is were i connect it to right:
The black strip in the middle of the picture right, i have to remove the metal piece, i know (this is taken with my Handycam)
Close look:
And whats that black thing right under it.
Also what if i want to SLI two cards, how would i do that. Do i have to remove the tv tuner.
Is this where i connect the power supply:
I watched some youtube videos and all they show is how to connect the card and not the power since they dont need to but mine will. So am i right. FYI, the other connector is in the back.
An overall look at my computer:
This is the first time me doing something like this and it got really exciting opening the computer. Wasnt hard either.
My biggest question from the following above is about the power supply. I cant find anything about it (at least from my 10 minutes of searching youtube).

The thing that i hate is the PC counterpart always recieves a lower score. I just hate that. For example Gears of war recieved a 9.4 on the 360 and a 8.7 on the pc while the pc has more levels and a map editor. I have never seen one game that has revieved a higher score on the pc than on the 360/PS3.
the reason is there is hype surrounding he 360 version. It's fresh and new so reviewers give it a higher rating
When it comes out on PC, they've already seen it and the ratings are affected accordingly
That doesnt make sense. You grade it as if its a new game. If i see a pc game that was ported from the 360, and then look at the review, i would think this game would suck (since reviews are always lower). This probably applies to those who dont have a 360 (like me
). You grade it on wants on the inside and not if it was ported. -
But alas, some games are definitely better on 360 then on PC.
Really? name some.

ANY LAST THOUGHTS other than buy a 8800 instead.
you are going to regret not getting an 8800 further down the line ;p
It wont support dx10.1 so why buy something that is useless. Besides medium setting are good enough for me. Im a college student who has loans to pay off. And unlike most college students, i dont waste my money on booze, babes etc. Im just buying this from some gift money that i got for the holiday (my holiday). This is also a reward for getting a 4.0(most likely) this semester. YES i'm rewarding myself.

Dont you think thats pushing it too far reaper??
Yes, god damn those fig trees!
I LOVE FIG TREES. You got something against fig trees ay.

It's not about proving anybody or anything wrong. Therein lies the problem.
All people have their different beliefs. Deal with it. And then keep your opinions to yourself. Religion is like that.
It's funny how people claim that the religious shove their views down other peoples' throats (something I have never seen in my entire life, nor ever done), and then the atheists go out and do the same thing. Like they know it all. Which they do not.
I'm a catholic by the way. And I don't know it all, either. But have some respect. It's not about proving or disproving. It's about different people living in harmony with each other.
My response was for reaper_mans HUGE picture. I wont shove it down any ones throat, im just defending myself, even if it is not pointing at me. I might as well be next.

Sinking pretty low now aren't we? It's a $5 difference on 2 pads that only have a wired/wireless difference. You should be able to decide entirely yourself don't you think?
More of an experience kind of question and price isnt an issue. Since i never owned a wireless controller and people that comment on them usually say a lot of bullsh!t about them, i wanted to know some from one of you guys. I'll go with reaper man on this one, wired one....i think
-
Which one better
Wired:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16826127207
Or
Wireless:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16826127209
They are both pretty much the same except one is wireless and a little more expensive.

This website is good for knowing when patches are coming out.

I bought a 200gb maxtor hd for 20 dollars at office deopot 2yrs ago.
Man, thats what i need right about now at that price.
-
OK, i think i might buy this one then.
Some other questions, will i be able to connect this to my computer because they are saying i will need a mole connector or i dont know what the hell it is.
Also, for SLI does it have to be two of the SAME name card to connect them or can it be two different cards from nvidia.
Is it better to have wired or wireless controllers.

I just witnessed a horrible debate in school....*sigh*
When reviewing there never-ending argument of the existence of god, at school, I discovered something from watching it.
People have always hidden behind religion to do and say horrible things when in fact they took the religious teachings out of context.
So i made it a self-job to, if I ever see someone harmfully insulting any diff believers or non-believers to confront them and stand up for everyone who feels oppressed.
Yet recently in years, it's been the non-believers who do the most bashing...
I wonder.... Why must we question someone else lives? Shouldn't it be, "I know what I believe in, and thats all I need to know."?
The term, "Religion causes war" pisses me off... Anyone can use religion for war, or for peace. No one barely says, "money causes war," or "Greed causes war."
Would it be more convenient to just deny belief, call up some girls who wanted me and go crazy living a life guided by pleasure and money, then settle down, have a nice family, then die peacefully? It probably would, but I cant deny....... I just cant and I never will.....
I wish a day will come that even though we believe differently, we can have enough humanitarian respect to not try to convert (if not wanted) or prove otherwise (if not asked)......
(You're Atheist? Okay, so what video games do you play?)
(You're a Christian? Oh, so what movies you watch?)
I think both believers and non-believers need to learn this concept...
but then again....I'm just merely thinking out loud...
Believe it or not, that will never happen, your asking to much from the people.
I dont want to start trouble, but i would like to see reaper_man (not trying to call you out) or any of the other guys try to prove all religions wrong, and not by trying to prove thiers right. I can easily prove my religion is right, and not because it gives me comfort, pleasure, money, or anything.

But according to the review, they say that you arent really gaining anything from the extra memory

[And what the hell is
Everyone kept typing "Strar" was the title of the thread fixed from that??? I don't get it. And stop confusing my girl.STRAR WARS
And I don't believe anyone who says they don't know what Star Wars is. It's damn near impossible! Star Wars is EVERYWHERE
originally it was a typo in the topic title, but it seems to be fixed now, rendering the joke useless... ;/
Let's pretend it never happened.
Strar Wars FOR LIFE.
Amen.
And who said star wars is everywhere. I know a couple of guys that never heard of it. Then agian they never heard of a lot of thing. (Not in the US).

I only want it on medium settings. Plus if you look at this video:http://www.gametrailers.com/player/27243.html?type=wmv I think its decent enough and runs smoothly. Plus im not gonna try to save for something that is not im my range of ...of....EVERYTHING.

Well guys, its down to two decisions:
Its either this one:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16814130286
The good thing about this one is its an 8600GTS and with 512mb.
The bad thing about it is from the reviews, it is the same thing as a 8600GTS 215mb Source:http://www.hardocp.com/article.html?art=MT...W50aHVzaWFzdA==
What do you guys thing about this card. Its for 160$ so its kind of a money killer for me but im willing to put the money if its willing to work like a 512mb instead of a 215 mb. IS IT WORTH IT.
My other choice(s) is a 8600GTS 215mb. Im still unsure on which one to pick so i would greatly appreciate it if you guys helped me out on this one. One from the following would be good:http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList....&name=256MB
Since its only 215mb, i dont thing putting 160$ is a good idea so anything under 150 is fine for me.
Im planning on getting one during thanksgiving break since the rebate end on the 30th of November and i want to try to set it up before coming back from the break.
ITS ALMOST TIME!!
Thank you

Brother does it to me all the times, most of the times of movies since he watches alot more than i do. I especially hate it when he says a joke from southpark or familyguy when i havnt even watched the episode yet.
