THis looks like a winner in the "Who will I buy from" contest...

[RedTop]

Well Mrs. RedTop got her a new Dog. A sweet tiny lil female Shih Tzu named Baily. She is a cute lil dog. My Dog Brinkley who is also a Shih Tzu and male will get his first try at the ying yang in a few months. :LOL

I got the approval last night since she got her new lil ball of fur. SO...This is what I plan to order from Cyber Systems. It has a couple of upgrades or so. Anyway....Looking forward to ordering it VERY soon. Then I hopefully will recieve it while I have my next long weekend and get to use it right off the bat.

WHAT DO YALL THINK?

Sounds good.  I would read the thread in the Hardware and Software forum on the 7800 issues, and I would toss the wireless keyboard in the trash and use a plug in keyboard.  Other than that, you should be very happy.

Redtop,

If AH is your mainstay game, the 2 vid cards are a waste of good money.  Even teh mighty FX57 cant push the single 7800 to its capacity.

I have fx53 with a single 6800 on the same board, and it handles AH like a dream.

Save yourself 500 clams on the second card... JMHO.
