Oh, acer1: (or anyone else who has received the card yet) - have you tried the S-video out? I read on a couple of forums that the S-video out quality of the hercules (or maybe most 9800 pros) was pretty lousy. I have a geforce3 ti200 and a 12' s-video cable, and the picture seems okay (I mainly...

I received a ship notice yesterday, and received a tracking number. UPS still reports it as "Billing Information received" only. I emailed and asked them about the status of retial or OEM - I received this somewhat amusing (yet polite) response in return: Thank you for your interest in...

This reminded me of an impromptu political/humor poll I did on my college campus a few weeks ago (2 questions): Who's funnier? 1) Adam Sandler 2) Monty Python Who's getting your vote? 1) Bush 2) Kerry of the 364 respondents, 82% of those who thought Adam sandler was funnier plan to vote for...

ericb: Mine is still in process, but I just ordered it yesterday. Has anyone received this card yet? I've done the "stuck in limbo for 4 weeks and suddenly credit card is credited purchase amount with no explanation given or product received" thing before, so I hope this isn't another "we had...

I just wonder what could be the problem - I see people mentioning that their FSBs are at 160, 170, 190, etc... with mine, I can't push the FSB above 133. If I go to even 134, Windows locks up. If I try 140, the system completely shuts down and I have to reset the jumper on the motherboard to...

I'm looking for a Small Form Factor system that has a parallel port. It also needs to be able to support a Radeon 9800 pro. I have an Athlon XP2000+ and 512 meg PC2100DDR, so if a system exists that will accept those components (and has a parallel port) I'm all ears. My current system has been...

I just went for it as well - same total as usernamemax. For some reason the shipping was $1.00 also, and not $2.95. Any news on if it's retail or not? Hopefully this shall make a nice step up from my Geforce3...
