2+ Blue screens a day(usually in Media center). 640x480 with all settings turned down with fear. Test Drive unlimited just keeping up and Flight Sim X slightly ahead?? I'm done! Returned my XPS 410 for HP but I need to know what is the best video card to get AND what you think I should expect from new system compared to the old one...Current:XPS 410Core 2 Duo 1.86GHz2 GB RAMNVIDIA GeForce 8600GTSVista UltimateRaptor driveFutureHP d4990y
Core 2 Quad 2.4GHz(i think)2G B RAMATI Radeon 1950Pro 512MB maybe??? What you think? Heard NVIDIA sucks in Vista and with MCEVista PremiumRaptor DiveWill the new computer blow away the old? What Video card should I get?Am I right to go ATI instead of NVIDIA? If it were XP I would care so much about ATI/NVIDIA, but I heard NVIDIA/VISTA=BAD or atleast not AS good as ATI.

:lol:You won't custom build, will you?
Last pre-built machine for me!![QUOTE=''Wesker776'']:lol:You won't custom build, will you?[/QUOTE]
Hm...The problem with prebuilds are the ridiculous PSUs they put in their rigs, which often force users to spend extra on a replacement/sub PSU. There's also the problem of questionable motherboards which may have compatability problems.That HP does look good, but make sure you do add a good video card (X1950 PRO/2900 XT/8800 GTS/8800 GTX) as well as a good PSU (500w) or Thermaltake's GPU PSU (go on newegg and you'll see what I mean).Also, NVIDIA's drivers for SLi are dodgy. The drivers should be fine for a single card set up though.
