Re: hardware help 

Well Obie,

There are several things to consider, Graphic card slot, AGP -PCI, Your present power supply, etc etc.., the best thing to do is to look at the ATI site, www.ati.com and check with your motherboard manufacturer if you are uncertain about the Graphic Card specification it meets.


RADEON™ X800 PRO, RADEON™ X800 XT and RADEON™ X800 XT PLATINUM EDITION require a connection to your PC's internal power supply for operation. Consult your system builder or OEM to ensure your system has an adequate power supply. Otherwise, ATI recommends a 300-Watt power supply or greater to ensure normal system operation where a number of other internal devices are installed.
Intel Pentium 4/III, AMD Athlon 64/7K/Athlon XP with AGP 8X (0.8v), 4X (1.5V) or universal AGP 3.0 bus configuration (8X/4X)
128MB of system memory


Hope this helps a little

Just to let you know, I have a Radeon x800 pro 256mb. I LOVE IT. You should definitely look in to getting one if you can support it. =)
