i was lucky that my sister found them in stock today in the shop
any tips in installing them ?

Make sure you have an appropriate power supply. That video card requires a 580 watt ATX 2.x unit. Don't even try to fire it up if you don't have a good one. If she's still there, might want to have her get one of these:

she is full house in term of carrying she was even complaining about the size of the
mother board box ..

i want to get a 700w power supply ,, my old pc p4 3ghz , 6200 xfx have lost
power many times and i changed the power supply 2 times

then i must see what brands they have in the local market also
lol its a big jump from the 6200 to the 9800 GTX+

[id10x]

should i go vista with this one ?

[id10x]

i got the parts now ,, i put them in my room .. and i need to sleep at last

next post will be from my new system

btw the cost was : 580 Sterling he made 7 % discount

the zotac card looks too big ,, man .. really really big like 1/4 of a meeter
will it fit on the p5Q pro? the slots seems small :/

[glc]

The card will fit on the motherboard - PCI-E is PCI-E - but it may block some ports and you need a good sized case.

What do you have for a power supply?

[id10x]

i still need to contact the local company for case,power supply , sound card .. dvd player , floppy
sound card and lan card .. ex ..

you seem worried about the power supply ,, ill get a 750 w if i found one ..

what ports will it block ? i am worried now .. could i end up without an either net card or sound card?

[glc]

I am worried about the QUALITY of the power supply. This is very important.

No, the net and sound won't be blocked. One or more of your SATA ports might be. Take the motherboard out of the bag and set it on the table, and insert the video card and *look*.

The motherboard has onboard sound and net, you won't need cards.

[id10x]

sata ? is that the hard drive stuff ?

[id10x]

if i put it on the PCIe x16_2 black it will block the sata


as you see it will come on the PCIe x16_1 blue and be away from the sata

but it will close the white ports u see the arrows on them they are called

pci ex 1
2

3

are they important ?

[glc]

A single card goes in the blue slot. Don't worry about the x1 slots if you don't have any cards to put in them.

[id10x]

ahh . ok .. what kind of cards are they for ?

[glc]

Sound cards, network cards, TV cards, etc. PCI-Ex1 is replacing legacy PCI.

[id10x]

ahh ok .. we wont need those u said .. ok great u scared the hell out of me
at start lol

dose this mb have a good sound card?


btw about the power supply this discussion is not over but i need to rest a little bit
then ill start looking for the power supply and i will tell u what we have in hands

thanks

Onboard sound has come a long way over the years. It works very well for most users. And if you ever want better sound, you can always add a sound card later.

that is a really nice motherboard by the way. that system is going to blow away your current one... enjoy

Go for it. The 750TX is an excellent unit.

[id10x]

[id10x]

gonna have to wait a month or 2 but his going to give it to me as a gift
good old cousin ...

well my Locker will be closed for a wile

[glc]

You will have a very reliable system - the 2 most important components are high quality - the motherboard and the power supply.

[id10x]

taking too long now my psu will arrive in 2 weeks if everything went well

my cousin wont charge me for it so i thought to use the money on a new monitor

i have an old flatron ez t711s 22 inch i guess. a very good monitor that worked 24/7 for years now, and have beautiful image ,, but time has changed and i want a new look with my new
video card ...

i am a total nob in monitors . what is plazma and what is lcd and are they better than the normal
screens ? and why ? and which of them is better ? what kinds should i get and all that stuff
lol thanks

note : should i stick with a special monitor size ? coz i only have 512 mb of memory
in the 9800 GTX +

[glc]

I don't know what the pricing structure in Egypt is, but here the best monitors for the money are 22 inch widescreen LCD's.

[id10x]

yes but many questions i dont know

are lcd and plasma the same thing ? are they better than normal screens like mine ?
and why ?

i think they have lg here but i was thinking of going 24 inch to feel the upgrade
is that ok with my vga ? or should i stick with 22 inches

[glc]

Plasma is not used for monitors, just TV's. 24" is fine. LCD is essentially the standard for monitors these days, CRT is obsolete. LCD uses a LOT less electricity and puts off a LOT less heat.

[id10x]

crt is abulute ? lol go easy on me glc what dose that means ?

ok what i wanna know now is :

is it worth it to get an lcd monitor and change my lg flatron monitor ? are they much pretty ?

its gonna cost me a lot i guess . i mean in could buy a new vga in couple of years
and update my system with all this money i dont really mind the 2 inch

but is it so different from the regular monitor ?

[Alaron]

Obsolete means that it is old technology that most people do not use anymore.

If your LG monitor still works fine, I'd use it. When it dies, then upgrade to an LCD.

LCDs have a sharper picture then CRTs.

[id10x]

what if it didnt die?

anyway thanks i got the idea

[id10x]

ok 10 days to get the power supply from usa . meanwhile my sister is going to London
again so i think i will ask her again lol
what about if i get the case from there and dvd player lol
i wont find decent ones here . here is the link ill let u make the pick this time

note: my huge 1/4 meeter long 9800GTX+++++++++++++++++ has to fit in the case
because i wont be able to return it. so i will come back here and hunt you down
if it didnt fit (joking or not ?personally i cant tell , well i think am joking lol ) go ahead
and aim please lol thanks
