Check out phamcomputer.com (I got there from a link at overclockers.com). They sell Thermaltakes, so bad-mouthing them isn't in their interest (up-selling an Alpha is, of course ;)). They concluded that the fan is 26CFM and 36 must have been a typo. I was wondering about that, because of the...

I was told that the integrated were faster than an M64-PCI(which surprised me) and that drivers were better than anything from ATI(which I don't doubt). I'm not inclined to the GF-MX-PCI, because it tested out even slower than a Voodoo4-PCI at Thresh's, so Nvidia may not do PCI well-like 3DFX...

Futureshop? Thnx I'll be calling around anyway to see if they have any closer to home in Burlington or the Falls. I don't think ANY are left in Buffalo or on Mwave or Directron:( Any chance they had V3's? I'm not sure a V5 will even fit in this little HP minitower, plus my F16sim is probably Glide.

When I asked about PCI cards at Sharky's, the answer was that the integrated graphics were actually faster than the M64-PCI(and that the ATI drivers would probably be a problem).

Sorry you had to take one for the team. If you find a decent dealer with Voodoo3s or V4's left(V5 is too expensive), I'd like to know. I'm from Buffalo myself, so if you can find them in Toronto I'll be INTERESTED.

I went to one in Rochester,NY and didn't like it at all-no way I'd trust that bunch with my money. It's a smaller city in the Rust Belt, so it didn't attract many vendors, and the mood was like some sort of Gypsy caravan. Everybody had the same no-name case for sale(no Enlight, Fong Kai,Inwin...

My own computer is DEAD (good riddance), but I'm a few months from being able to afford a new gaming rig. What can I do to get my Falcon4.0 fix on my mother's Celeron-400-810, while still saving up for a real gaming rig? I can't find a Voodoo around here. Has anyone worked with the Radeon-PCI...

I think Thresh's Firing Squad did a comparison of the Voodoo4-PCI and the GF2MX-PCI and the Voodoo4 won easily; to bad those guys couldn't get AGP right(Nvidia's AGP cards are MUCH faster than Voodoos). If you buy the Radeon, please post a review, because I'm also looking to upgrade a...

Good Luck is all I can say-that and please let us(Ok, ME) know how it works out. As you've noticed, those of us stuck with PCI-only computers are being completely ignored by all the review sites these days-and we're not being terribly well served by manufacturers or retailers. I'm puzzled by...

Can I ask who that retailer was? That's worth posting to Reseller Ratings.

Have you heard about the recall? (oops-I just re-read your message and see that you have:o)Overclockers.com is where I read about it. Iwill has established that it's a hardware problem and come up with a fix. If you get one of the defective boards, they've set up a special RMA prodedure. :o...

I was hoping I could play Falcon 4.0 when I visit my mother. It's a Celeron+810 (it's NOT MINE, HONEST ;)). The Voodoos look like the best PCI cards, but they're getting @#$% hard to find, and the prices on what's left may even be going UP! People who bought bargain Celerons, but bought some...

Enough with the Overclockerz-bashing ;) hehe THIS is what I mean about Outside Loop-who are these saintly supermen???!! How can they not have gotten even ONE of us lathered up against them? Have they violated every cannon of this 'Buyer-Beware' industry and CAREFULLY TESTED everything before it...

Overclockers love 'em. AMD may do to the Duron what Intel did with the Celeron and hobble it with the slower FSB.
