Do you understand the difference between criticism and racism? Like if I said the city of Compton is a very dangerous place for white people to be and that they would most likely not come out alive if they went there at night. Does that mean I'm a "racist" no it means I'm a REALIST who refuses...

I'm voting for Ron Paul. It's sad that people are trying to ruin a good mans chances at success by any means possible. Firstly: most of those alleged comments fall in the CRITICISM category. Homosexuals and MLK are not allowed to be criticized? Sure maybe not in TODAYS "PC" world but back then...

Yes there is a difference! If you are interested in calibrating your monitor properly and having correctly adjusted gamma levels then check this great site:http://www.photoscientia.co.uk/Gamma.htm As a basic principle: 1st try to achieve correct gamma calibration (I use 2.0) then after that...

I can't even believe they are still selling fx5200/5500s. Man such a racket the pci card market. As if people aren't punished enough for not having an AGP or PCI-E slot then they ream schlubs for 149.99 for a x1300!!!! Poor bastards....

It's the 3rd Thief. I believe it's on the Unreal2.5 engine though you wouldn't guess as it really looks incredible. I have the first one (Thief the dark project) which was (is) amazing but never did finish it (time restraints). The Thief series are really a genre unto themselves. The sheer...

LOL! Oh my. Hilarious stuff man. Yeah these sales people 9 times out of 10 just conjure up some random/mismatched "techy" sounding terminology on the spot that they think joe shlub will believe (sadly they usually do). "Oh yes the this one has 240 texalators and GHZ-dd RAMdacs...

Funny I just reinstalled Thief Deadly Shadows to resume where I left off (before my old PC died). Anyway it wont run on a dual core without some sort of permanent affinity fix. Well I eventually fixed it through imagecfg and detailed instructions. But this program is good to know for a hopefully...

What I hate is how they charge you like double the price for OLD technology! Previously I had a 6800xt for around $80 when I could've had a PCI-e card 3 times as fast for the same price! Also before that I was stuck with only PCI (that's right regular pci) and ended up paying over $100 for a...

Think about this: mobo (ddr400) And this:This card smokes for the price! Or if you want upgrade to a ddr2mem mobo you can also do that (have to buy new mem obviously but it's very cheap right now). Plus you can always upgrade your CPU later if you like. Also I wouldn't bother with uber new...

My exact core system: cpu mobo mem vid card BANG for the buck. Works a charm. OC the brisbane to 2.4ghz (could probably go higher but I haven't tried yet). Also the 1650xt is faster than the 7600gt in many circumstances. And in rare circumstances competes against the 7900gs. Check...

I think the time has come for AMD to stop trying to be "cute" with their designs. I admire what they've accomplished from a technical standpoint but if in practice there is no benefit to consumers then it's kinda wasted effort. AMD is on the mat now and now isn't the time to try "finesse" moves...

If I were you I would build both systems AMD. Best bang for the buck IMO.

How dare you bring facts into the AGP witchburner festival! Hey kidz run your PCI-E card in 8x mode and that's effectively the same as AGP. Does it suck? I thought not. Maybe a few FPS difference.

If you don't care about direct X10 (I know I don't) then get this:X1950GT It destroys.

Personally I wouldn't buy a video card more than $120.00. "Mainstream" (AKA non-uber enthusiast) PC gamers generally buy whatever card happens to fit in the sub $130.00 range. Alot of the time it's last gen and lower priced than the latest stuff. So arguably alot of mainstream PC gamers buy...
