I'm building a computer pretty quickly here and I need to figure out what I'm doing for a video card.

I would straight off go with an 8800GT, but their price is being inflated and their availability limited by demand, so I'm weighing my options.

I need a strong enough card to be able to competently display games, aswell as edit video in HD on a 22" Widescreen with a native resolution of 1650x1080.

Canadian Pricing:
8800GT - $299.99 - however shipping is up in the air
8800GTX - On sale for $470 Canadian
3870 - $269.99
I would prefer not to spend money I don't have to.


Do you think the 8800GT or the 3870 would do me alright? I'm not looking to play Crysis on absolute max settings, but I do want to be able to play games on mid-high settings (preferably) native resolution.

Note: The card will be paired with an Intel Core 2 q6700 Quad core and 3 to 4GB of RAM. SLI and Crossfire are not an option at the moment. Processor being used is set in stone (purchase program from intel).

i would like to know if it is possible to take the empty space from an existing drive and add it on the the master drive

My computer is only 11 months old, and I'm getting a"Your computer is low on virtual memory. windows is increasing the size, during this time many memory applications may be denied" or something along those lines. WHY? It's only 11 months old! I never run two programs at once, and aside from my pictures and audio files, there is nothing really stored on my computer. Yahoo messenger, Chuzzle and Kodak Easyshare...thats it. Thats all that's on my computer. What can I do to stop this message? This is the same message I was getting on my last computer, right before it crashed so I'm kind of worried here. I checked and my virtual memory is set to 669.

Intel Pent 4 CPU 3.2ghz
1.5 gig RAM
Geforce 7800 gs oc
500 watt power supply

when i play battlefield 2 in medium and high settings, it looks great, occasionally lags, but would all of a sudden freeze. I can run it on low settings really well though. I have friends that have the same video card that can run the same game with high settings with ease. What is wrong with mine?
