ABOUT THE VIDEO CARD :
This particular version of the nVidia 6800GT is for an AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) interface; AGP is faster than PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) which means faster graphic performance as well. There is a new much faster interface available now called the PCI-E or PCI-Express which is twice as fast as AGP. It was available when I purchased the 6800GT, but the reason I did not go the PCI-Express way is because I already had a motherboard that supported AGP only and there are no video cards available today that can harness the full power of PCI-E. I am not saying that you should not buy PCI-E if you want to because it is clearly the future of video cards; as technology advances, future video cards will eventually be able to take advantage of the PCI-E technology.

The PNY Verto GeForce 6800GT has three connections (DVI, S-Video, and VGA) which will allow you to connect most display devices. VGA and DVI can be used to connect the huge and bulky CRT or the light weight and space saving LCD monitors. The S-Video can be used to connect your TV monitor, but some of the newest TV’s have DVI connections available. Since I have an old TV, I cannot use the S-Video and test it. The card itself is pretty big lengthwise, but it is thin enough to only use up one slot in the back of your computer. The heatsink is very large also that keeps the GPU (Graphic Processing Unit) cool at all times (even after overclocking). PNY provides a one year standard warranty, but it is generously extended to three years after you register it with PNY. Just visit pny.com to register your product and find out more about the warranty.
