when choosing the video card, could you explain why you'd choose it. preferable im leaning on the 6800gs 256mb

i'm open to more suggestions... espesially for the videocards.... i'm trying to stay under 250$ cnd... even tho the 6800GS is over.....

Man, what are you going to do with the old rig?

The XT should do

He's giving it to his dad. ^^

I would get the GS one. Faster. Everything else looks good.

 

[lhuser]

wait a minute...what does the GS stands for?

I have no clue. I just know that it's like the 6800GT card but cheaper and is 40% faster than the 6800 card (more like an OCed 6800). It uses a PCI-e molex connector to give it more juice. So good. More power...
