Very nice peice of kit there mate. I think that some of your mates will want to come around and play DOOM 3 not do work.

Lol, yeah, nice not much else I can think of that you would need. Other than a real Graphics Card! (Had to get that in there!) not that mines any better!

 

[GeforcebOY1]

Nvidia do rule but the FX range couldn't keep up with the 9800 .ATI did beat the FX range.

 

[suhongy]

wat the duce? what cha mean a real graphics card, whats better than an ATi 9800 pro, under 250$? I should go for a 256Mb card shouldnt I?

 

[Lord Kalthorn]

I realise that! Its the principle of it. And is the ATi 9800 Pro under $250! I think not.

Yeah, 256Mb would be the best Idea to get
