    Looks like this should belong in the Dell section. I will move it there. You will get better responses.

    You got a great deal. I love my I9300 and haven't had any problems with it. It is a great computer for the price.

    Congrats.

    Welcome to NBR! :)

    Sorryy bout that...
    another thing is,
    how would it be different to have 128mb x300 from NVidia 6800Go in benchmarks...?
    Well it would be clearer if i ask it this way,playing NFS MW at highest settings; would there be any lags or freezes during the game with x300?

    That would be a good question to ask in the Gaming (Hardware & Software) forum. Just start a new thread in there. I don't play NFS on my comp. Sorry.

    I have the I9300 with the Go6800 (I even o/ced the sucker). Conincidentally I dabbed with NFS. The game is playable with the highest settings, but not completely smooth.

    The Go6800 is anywhere from 2-4 times faster than the x300, depending on the application. they are not comparable.

    cheers,

    yass

    actually i have nfs and at the highest settings its very smooth on my computer
    the only game with lag is BF2:special forces. the normal BF2 works well on mostly high settings however, with speical forces i had to tone a lot of stuff down.
