Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.
Hello Akshayt,
I do not know if you have analyzed the Graphics card market in the US deeply - but i did spend close to a month collecting information before putting my money on the HIS X1800 GTO.
For starters, all HIS X1800 GTO cards (well, almost all of them!) can be patched through to become an X1800 XL (via software). This unlocks 16 pipelines and can take you through any of the recent games screamingly. At this point any competition with the 7600 GT should be largely irrelevant.
Second, the card comes with proprietary HIS Ice Q3 cooling and heatsink and is factory overclocked to 520 mhz (admittedly only slight overclocking). Just these two are good value for money. Third, and this does not matter too much, a comprehensive software packet comes with the card - called Platinum Pack as part of the Turbo edition of the card.
Around the same dollar mark, i have the XFX 7600 GT XXX and eVGA 7600 GT CO/KO. These offer 590 and 580 mhz respectively and seriously compete with all other X1800 GTO's except for the HIS one (in my mind). Oblivion is my target game and the X1800 GTO is significantly ahead in that game than the 7600 GT - whether stock or overclocked.
The drawbacks in the stock X1800 GTO card are the heat produced, the slightly higher power consumption and the large size. The heat is taken care of with the custom cooling solution provided by HIS and i have got an ATX cabinet and a 500 W power supply to take care of the other two things.
The nearest X1800 XT (Saphire) comes to $250 plus and that too was only 'Open box'. If the prices were a little nearer, then you are right, it was a closed book decision to buy the X1800 XT. As it is, i think the HIS X1800 GTO is a fairly economical and powerful mid range solution - just slightly better than all the 7600 GTs out there - even the eVGA Superclocked one.
Sorry for the longish post - but the main reason i posted was to find out the Indian price for this card. Is there anybody who can give me information on the price for an HIS ATI Radeon X1800 GTO Turbo edition. If the HIS make is not available, could somebody tell me what a Radeon X1800 GTO costs in the Indian market.
Thank you.

Guys,
For all graphic card related reviews, stats and information i found www.gpureview.com to be very useful. It is well organized and has the right information. Apart from that it also links to all the major reviewers like xbitlabs, hardocp, bjorn3d etc.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.
I would say u made the right move, if someone read my post 2 pages ago, i meantioned that for X1800GTO by HIS and Powercolor the extra pipelines can be unlocked, and they have almost 100% rate, BTW do let us know about the result

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.
all your arguments are in vane. X1800XT will be equal or better to any modded and oced 1800GTO. 1800XT costs around 220$ or so and 1900GT costs around 180$. some 1900GT have been converted to 1900XT 256mb, not sure whether they were the same ones or not.

@AmbarD
Socket 423 Pentium 4s (Willamette core) were the first P4s to hit the market back then. Then came socket 478 (not 468 ) Northwoods.
Regarding the upgrade i think you should straightaway buy conroe why wait 6 months and waste all your money to upgrade this one. There no point.
None of the component you would buy for this system will be usable for your conroe config.
1) RAM is i think SDRAM (not DDR) again very slow for games (no point in upgrading)
2) Graphics card would again be AGP one so it would be big waste when you move to conroe (supports PCI-e cards).
With 10k in hand i won't recommend you to upgrade this comp, only to buy conroe 6 month later. You will actually be wasting your money now. I think you should save your cash, or get some more to buy conroe.
If you are not going for a completely new system (conroe) then its a whole different story.
