Hmmm....

EVGA GeForce 8800 GTS 640MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Support Graphics Card 640-P2-N821-AR
EVGA GeForce 8800 GTS 640MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Support Graphics Card 640-P2-N821-AR

Pros: When I first bought this card, the performance had been quite outstanding, but then about a month latter nVidia released there geForce 8800 GT- which Is like this card, but with more piplines. Which means that the 8800 GT performs a little better for a much better price. Well, with the right divers, this is how the card performs: - Cyris runs at a decent 20+ fps at high settings and at 1024x768 res w/ AA turned off - Oblivion runs at a blasing 40+ fps at maxed-out settings and @ 1650x1050 res w/ AA at 4x (and yes, you can turn on AA in Oblivion- you have to do it through nvidea CP) - Portal runs at 40+ fps with maxed out settings and AA 8x - Hellow Kitty island Adventures runs maxed out at 60 fps :P

Cons: Expencive. I'm not sure why nVidia is reluctant to discontinue this product, but I guess thats business.

Overall Review: *sight*

Best for the money for gaming

Gateway 17.0" Intel Core 2 Duo P8400 4GB Memory DDR3 1066 Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit LX.W430X.001

Pros: Hadware specs are very high for the price. duel-core processor, 9800m gtx with 1024mb vram, 4gigs ddr 3 ram.

Cons: The case is a bit cheap, and the resolution on the monitor is smaller than the average laptop. Well, i got this one strictly for gaming, and usually play at a smaller resolution to gain better performance, and as long as the hardware runs well, i don't really care much about the case.

Overall Review: Don't care much about the software that was already on it. Didn't even see what was on it. The first thing what i did was reformat it and download the drivers of the manufacture' web site. NOTE: that the drivers are compatible with the model below this one, and to get the nvidia drivers, i just went to the nvidia web site. ^^;

Excellent

A good Game

Far Cry 2 PC Game
Far Cry 2 PC Game

Pros: A large selection of weapons and plenty of missions to go about. Pretty graphics, and a more down-to-earth real life gameplay than other shooters such as crysis.

Cons: The World was smaller that i thought it was. Your basically in a jungle surrounded my desert. And the game play could be quit repetitive. I hope they come out with an expansion soon. It's feels like everything is a bit too close together. You walk a few hundred yards and your already in the next camp.

Overall Review: sorta like Oblivion meets grand theft auto
