Thanks for posting your insight. Part of me wishes I would of looked into this more and maybe considered a FX1600, but like I said, I just want a stable card. I don't need power. And I really don't know if the issue with my 7800 is...

I'm weary of any nVidia card from the era. They all seem to have the failure problem from what I've read. A fx1600 might fail on me as much as 3 7800 Gos now have. Don't like the idea of the 9400 not recognizing the 1600, either!

Yeah. Correct one ordered. But it was $85 instead of $50. Still a good deal compared to how high I've seen the x1400. I'll have to return the 6400 x1400. I had no idea there was a difference. Sigh!

Time to revive a very old thread. My video card died again last night. I found this old thread and didn't realize it had been over 2 years since it last happened. I'm way out of warranty again and although my laptop is quite up in...

Yeah. I've been out of Warranty since March. I hadn't planned on renewing but I didnt expect my card to go out and I'm not ready for a new system yet. I got a quote and it included a $100 reinstatement fee. I don't know if doing...

Hey all, I was wondering something. I don't mean for this to sound shady if it does but does Dell allow you to get an extended warranty after the fact like in my case where something is already damaged? I got a quote to extend my...
