GeForce 8800 GTS 512

for unknown reasons, there is a chance of system crashing if not underclocked.

I have an Asus/ATI Radeon HD 2400 PRO. Pretty good power for what I paid for it. My wife's PC has an Xabre 200 built into her PC.

Okay...So my thread will probably go:
  • General Info
  • Nvidia Specific stuff
  • ATi Specific
  • Via
  • Intel
Alot of post #1 will probably get pruned...Or maybe moved to different post #

I was using Nvidia GeForce fx7200 512.
Worked great but was obvious it was going out so I found a steal on a new Nvidia GeForce fx6200 512 on ebay for $40.00 with s&h.
Font was starting to fragment and things like Google Earth would start "flashing" with odd colors.
Don't understand why since it's a card intended for gaming but halfway through video's such as those on Hulu.com, halfway through any video I have to refresh the screen.
Didn't have to do that with the 7200.
