Yep, nice choice on the power supply btw

**TheMatt** · 01-29-2008, 09:31 PM

Looks good. Look at this wireless card though because it supports faster data rates (108Mb/s), WPA2 AES encryption, and bus mastering.

dai · 02-22-2008, 11:07 AM

no different

lilman4evur · 02-22-2008, 11:08 AM

ok then so just stick with the power supply that i chose

on the GTS it shows that it comes with a power cable how come the GT doesn't come with one?

**1 g0t 0wn3d** · 02-22-2008, 03:51 PM

it does not have an external connector on the card and draws power from the motherboard

lilman4evur · 02-22-2008, 05:48 PM

could i hook my xbox 360 to the hdtv cable and play my xbox on my computer?

**TheMatt** · 02-22-2008, 06:22 PM

Usually the easiest way is to hook it up directly to your computer monitor rather than through the computer. If your monitor/TV has an HDMI port I would recommend using that. If not, I would buy a VGA adapter for the 360 and hook it to the monitor via VGA. Then hook up the computer via DVI.

lilman4evur · 02-22-2008, 06:34 PM

will the monitor to computer can it just run on the DVI cable?
if i wanted to do it through the computer though how would i do it?

**TheMatt** · 02-23-2008, 01:27 AM

Yes, the monitor to the computer should use the standard DVI connector.

If you wanted to do it through the computer you would need a video capture card. And if you wanted to see the picture in HD you would need a very expensive video capture card. If you hooked the Xbox to the monitor through HDMI or VGA then all you have to do is switch the input on the monitor when you want to play and it will be in HD quality (with games that support HD). I would recommend this option.

lilman4evur · 02-23-2008, 06:09 AM

Will this one work? this won't have the sound travel though right? just the video

**1 g0t 0wn3d** · 02-23-2008, 09:37 AM

yeah i use that one and it works great

lilman4evur · 02-25-2008, 03:13 PM

could i get a cheaper power supply if i got this video card?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102703
is this like the "equal" to the nividia 8600gt?

**TheMatt** · 02-25-2008, 07:51 PM

The HD 2600XT is behind the 8600GTS and even the 8600GT. The 512MB is also more expensive than the faster 256MB 8600GTS.

when you run short of money on a build you cut back on a component but not the power supply
