Intel sucks?

You telling me that my 4.0ghz pc with the intel hyper threading extreme editiong sucks??

lol.. You should probably read the reviews from popular sellers who sell that video card, peoples opinion at the forums dont count for much, becuase most of them dont even know what they are talking about.

check out www.froogle.com
its a neat place to buy stuff.

1st of all no such thing as a 4.0ghz because they cancelled the release, liar. and second, radeon 9800 is good but u should get the GeForce FX 5900...

And make sure your computer can handle it.

You are right. However I am not lying. The intel processor clocks at 3.4ghz. However because it is supported with my motherboard and the cpu i am overclocking it at 4.0ghz.

I am sure you've heard of overclocking..

EDIT: Look at alienware. They're selling computers at "4.0ghz"
Actually its a 3.6ghz processor with lots of cache and its overclocked.

GeForce FX 5900, I'am going to look it's system requirments up, I'll edit and check if my computer can handle it, If not I might just get some thing around a 128mb video card I got a 64mb Intel graphics card as we speak. think 128mb will be able to run halo with it's Speculars Shadows and Decals? those graphics are disabled for me.

Minimum System Requirements

play around with your settings, see what happens.

nah my settings are fine after it fades it turns back to normal color, question though, my video card is an 82845G number, When I goto chipsets, reason because theres a new update, but It only ask's for exactly 3 Numbers. for when picking your chipset type. I been using 845 Intel Family, is that correct?
