4 - 8 GB of memory and a Corsair TX750W power supply would keep you
humming nicely with room to grow. I THINK advanced video cards can
draw over 150 W. This can be a big power problem, especially if you

thanks, I settled on a Dell XPS desktop with AMD chip. I have no idea
what the motherboard is. This will be my 3rd XPS model. I have a 5
year-old laptop & a 6 year old desktop. I got the laptop in Jan.
2006. I thought I got the desktop first, but it might have been later
in 2006, I don't remember..<br>
my current system is showing some age. I am having some video problems,
remnants, dots across some screens, and I'm not sure about my main HD,
according to the sensors, it should be burning up..:<br>
