I have been searching OCUK for a new card recently and the one i wanted to go for was a new nvidia 8800 gt 512 with around 650 core clock speed and nice shader speeds for about £200. So then i thought id have a look at ATI section and im seeing the same card with clock speeds of over 775mhz for 40 pounds less?! whats up with that? Are ATI cards just fast sounding but not actually any good or are nvidia ones just really expensive?

Would appreciate what people think and what card to go for... i want one to really sustain crysis.
Thanks

My budget is Rs. 1Lakh ($2000).The Desktop will be an assembled one and will be used for running heavy softwares like MAYA and the Laptop will be used for the presentation of my work. Sometimes, the laptop would be used for running my animation softwares. Please suggest a perfect configuration for my desktop. 4 GB RAM is my basic requirement. Suggest a basic laptop having a GPU. I will be thankful to you.

Well, I have Windows Vista Basic, but when I try to install it, it is suppose to give me two choices.

1."Upgrade" Keeps all files, programs, etc.
2. "New" Deletes everything and gives you a clean start to install on.

I want to "upgrade" it but it says that I need 6503MB free space on my C: partion or something like that in order to do this.

Can anyone tell me what that is and how to clear more space?

Thank you in advance,

I am buying a monitor and it is this one,

http://www.canadacomputers.com/main.php?do=ShowProduct&cmd=pd&pid=015297&cid=MT.282

Now by it's specs it looks to be very good, but the company I have never heard of, is it any good, because there is a 3 year warranty on the monitor so should I go with that company?

When I installed the demo, it said it needed to install DX-9c.
But I already have DX-9c.
It also said "this version of Direct X will replace existing versions" or something like that.

So do I install DX-9c?

I know Windows has got like a million virus threats and Mac has like, none, but I still don't think it's worth it. I mean they're about twice as expensive as Windows, they don't work with many softwares, including games, and if you buy a game for Mac, it's about twice as expensive as the same game for windows, and they don't have them in every store. My mom bought a Mac laptop once for about 3000 dollars, I believe; this was a long time ago.. And basically everything sucked. The screen was so thin, just by moving it or touching it it looked like it was gonna break. And after some time, it seemed that the keyboard itself was destroying the screen, cause it had little scratches all over it, and we had to put a piece of cloth there. The mouse had only one button. And after a while it go really slow.
So all of you Mac lovers out there, convince me to buy a Mac instead of a Vista. I'm open-minded; I think the new Macs look cool except for the price and the software problems I mentioned.
