Looks like around 10 to 20% faster with ddr3 I would still want a faster chip if you want to play games. If not just go with the cheaper one http://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Graphics-Cards-Benchmark-List.844.0.html

YA i would reinstall directx atleast you fixed your other problems. http://www.petri.co.il/download_directx_90c.htm

1-Spybot scan and delete 2-msconfig remove anything starting that isn't normal 3-in IE goto tools-manage addons-enable disbale add ons- turn off everything but what you need -(i only have 4 running adobe reader/mediaplayer/real player/shockwave(ie flash))

sounds cool now what does it say ? hehe hope you can unlock the agp version.

If you have the money and want the best get a quadro. http://www23.tomshardware.com/graphics_ws2007.html Main problem is it's not worth the price anymore. Top of the line cards will do fine . Softmode to firegl for free is a good idea. You can unlock some nv to quadro but most you can't.

Looks good :) Now im' wondering what one is better powercolor or Sapphire? Sapphire looks like it has a better cooler and clocked higher but the last Sapphire 3850 didn't bench that high.

Only reasons they can't make directx10 for xp is they don't want to make it work :) Directx is low level it doesn't even really talk to the system.I'm not saying the could use the same code or anything like that. It would require two diffent programs but that isn't anything new.They can do...

The only reasons for vista is reasons they made up. There still is no reason they couldnt have made for xp. Directx for xp shouldn't be a problem. Vista uses the ram but doesn't make anything faster lol Ya all the media junk from windows has sucked for the last 10 years. Heck open source...

Other like. If you buy a new dell laptop with vista pre-installed they don't make xp drivers if you try to install it. Or your new printer doesnt' have xp drivers. Or when games start coming out only in directx10.. They will make us upgrade I hate them for it.

In my view in the cad/cam/3d graphic world NVIDIA is the best because of the driver support. Ati still is the bang for the buck.

quadro cads are slower in directx by few percent but they own in cad/3d graphics. You get about douple the speed in opengl. But then again double to speed for 3times the price ? Not really a good deal unless the company is paying for it hehe. Oh ya by the way FireGL cards really aren't that...

Vista is worthless junk. bad news :(

some of you guys might try selling a 3850 agp on ebay. Just start it for little more than you could pay for in the stores and ship to the u.s :) Easy money. You don't even have to buy it unless you get some bids :) Should be worth the 30 cent listing fee.
