I have the Samsung 930b which I have seen a bunch of people complain about. I have had no problems and got it cheap. 19", great for gaming. Just install the "Natural Color" program hidden on the driver CD that comes with it and you will be happy. Plus, I got it for under $200. The other...

I sort of agree with you here. For me, My PC has been an ever evolving machine since I bought my first and only full system back in 1994. I have followed your process many times. Jumping form a P3 to a P4 system and selling the P3 MB/CPU/RAM combo and almost paying for the upgrade. In my...

Thanks.... It seems as though any card I get is going to blow away the 9800 Pro I currently have!!

ACtually...check out this great benchmark article from Tom's Hardware...it's from a few months ago but it shows most of the current AGP cards. The x850 XT and the PE version are near the tops in most benchmarks. Of course, these are older driver revisions... Tom's AGP benchmarks

Interesting conversation especially since neither my current card or the card I am considering are even included in those benchmarks....:confused:

Oh man...let me know how it goes! I am off to get mine tomorrow...:D

What are you using...ME?????:confused: XP is actually a great OS for a product that was release 4 years ago.

I was looking to upgrade from an ATI 9800 Pro 128. My budget was in the $200 range. I was looking at the Nvidia 6800, 6600 GT, and now the 6800 GS when this little deal fell into my lap. I have a P4 3.0 ghz. 800 FSB, 1 gb ram. Not looking to upgrade to PCI-E system yet. THis would...

THanks man!!! I just jumped on one!!!

Only time will tell, for sure. Afghanistan seems to be working out ok thus far, especially for a region new to the process.

Well...not to go back to that whole thing...:laugh: I can't say I disagree as there were a lot of other factors involved with Clinton winning, some valid. But, from an economical point of view, it has been argued for on both sides. I, personally, don't think that a president has much...

Being in a Democracy has nothing to do with having to pay an unfairly weighted and out of date federal Income Tax. www.fairtax.org for some good reading, whether you agree or disagree...

Actually, depending on your view and which economist you talk to, it worked quite well and the years of prosperity that CLinton inherited in his first term were the direct result of the "trickle down" theory under Reagan and Bush uno.

All that being said, as a fiscal conservative, I see no fair end to the current tax structure. I hope they consider alternative plans. Unfortunately we have become an entitlement society, dependant on government assistance and politicians are too scared to take any of that away for fear of...

Well, not really, if you think about it. Not that I am arguing for tax cuts for the rich, or anything. Going with your theory and assuming you are correct, yes, so the wealthy person who gets a $50,000 break (whatever it is) may be more accustomed to save it, but, on average a wealthy...
