the MSI board already comes with the 2 USB port hub so you already got your 6 ports.... no worries man.

once were done here, that thing will be a heavy multitasker...

P.S. little off topic but what are your latest PAX drivers for X-fi for Vista? i need em

Beta version of vista is V1.04

Youp_Pax_Audigy_XFI_Vista4.rar - FileFront.com
I can called it Alpha mod because I don't know how driver works yet you can try it.
Don't worry I'm hoping next week I'm going get 3meg wireless connection speed guaranteed at 384kb anytime but with speed burst at 3megs at each download speed hehe

**kris23** · Apr 8, 2008, 11:37 PM

thanks

Robert McClelland · Apr 9, 2008, 11:22 PM

Would that fit my case? Newegg.com - XION Supernova XON-800R14N ATX12V / EPS12V 800W Power Supply 115/ 230 V CUL, FCC, TUV, CE, C-tick, CB, BSMI - Power Supplies I'm going get this instead it's crossfire ready also.

**kris23** · Apr 9, 2008, 11:36 PM

any PSu will fit, i recommend the Corsair better...

more power and more connectors just incase you ever want to uleash the CFX beast..

Robert McClelland · Apr 10, 2008, 01:56 AM

Newegg.com - SAPPHIRE 100227L Radeon HD 3850 1GB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics
I'm think I go for this card instead

I really don't care if ddr 4 lol

**kris23** · Apr 10, 2008, 06:41 PM

dont get it..... its worthless...

not very powerful

Robert McClelland · Apr 10, 2008, 10:22 PM

AH I see so stick with ATI DDR 4 then?

**kris23** · Apr 10, 2008, 10:24 PM

the memory doesnt matter, its the GPU core

the 8800GTX is more powerful and you said you can get it for 200 bucks....

the 3870 is also better and it costs less

Newegg.com - SAPPHIRE Toxic 100225TXSR Radeon HD 3870 512MB 256-bit GDDR4 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics
Updated to this one

**kris23** · Apr 10, 2008, 11:08 PM

so im assuming the 8800 is not up for sale anymore?

if not, that 3870 is better than the one i recommended before!

I going change mine mind on that card about 8800 it has less steams on it. I'm going with one I pick out

up on my thread. One I pick has better fan cooling on it.

**Mousey** · Apr 11, 2008, 05:20 AM

what size display are you running Robert? I run my HD3850 on a 17" display and couldn't be happier, it ploughs through everything i throw at it, high settings with AA + AF at 1280x1024

**kris23** · Apr 11, 2008, 09:36 AM

the 8800 is at least TWICE as powerful as the 3870 man......

think about that, ATi stream procs arent as powerful as NV procs

I'm assuming you meant the 3850 here... not quite so much difference though, even then.

Approximate speeds:
3850: 100%
3870 = 9600 GT: 115%
8800 GTX/GTS G92: 140%

On my view sonic LCD HDTV I run 1440by900

works so far great on my x700pro. Should I take the 8800 GTX card then ATI? I just want double check. He said I can try it out later on once I get my parts.

**kris23** · Apr 11, 2008, 05:38 PM

lol i was thinking about the 9600 and how its roughly equivalent to the 3870

then how those 2 9600s in SLi barely beat an 8800, not always though.

lol

Robert McClelland · Apr 11, 2008, 11:11 PM

Kris now your telling me ati better lol?

**kris23** · Apr 11, 2008, 11:53 PM

no the GTX is still better

Necrosis · Apr 12, 2008, 12:16 AM

Basically Robert 1:1 GTX better. However, if you area interested in doing Xfire (2) 3870 are better. BTW, if you do decide to do Xfire I recommend the 750W Corsair.
