albert5268, Your car pc gonna have a geforce 8800GTX card in it!!!! That card is a powerful beast!!! Ya gonna be in your car all night playing games!!!
I recommend you should swap it to your desktop pc so that way you could use it more.
Yeah i will be upgrading my desktop video card soon as well but i want the awesome HDTV capabilities of the 8800GTX in my car!! i will be running several LCD screens off of it. electronics are so cheap over here!! retail works out cheaper than wholesale in australia even after tax and currency conversion

crystalbright lcd
intel grapics media acceleator 950
only have 80gig hd
dvd player mutli double layer
1gb dr2
802.11a/b/g wireless LAN

which is running window's Vista havent had no probs with it

its all bullcrap too me as long as it works and i can get on the net i ont care im not into games as such but will be buildn a games compute in the near future

yeah intel is about the only company so far that has graphics drivers that work 99% of the time... ive still had minor problems with mine when hooked up to dual displays. and massive problems with USB drivers that Microsoft have told me will be fixed ASAP... which will probably be several weeks!! Which means i cant use my 3G usb modem until then...

LOL, don't laugh too hard now...... This was built November 99, and is still my daily driver, never misses a beat, (unless you touch the back or put your foot on it while its on and it crashes)

Specs:

PIII 733
640 MB RAM
TNT2 32 MB Video Card
80Gb Seagate ATA Hdd
120Gb Seagate ATA Hdd
DVD Slot load Rom drive (doesn't work)
32x12x8 CD writer (doesn't work)
32x8x4 CD writer (doesn't fit in the case, so it sits on top)
1.44mb Fdd
Zip Drive
Wireless networking card
19" HP Monitor

Running XP Pro, 98 and Redhat.

The only things i have replaced are, added more ram, upgraded the hdd's, and cd burner, and recently replaced the monitor cause its **** itself.

EDIT: upgraded the cpu too from a 500Mhz to the 733, huge performance boost there....:p

One day soon i hope to upgrade, just got better things to spend my money on at the moment.
