    what was the coolest peripheral you ever had, that you wish you didn't hafta get rid of?

    Well let's see: Nanao Flexscan 9070u (awesome monitor but as it is ~10 yrs. old AND is 1024x768 at 65hz max, it gotta' go. Awesome deal though :-?) AMD K6-2+ 550 (I gotta' face it, this is the last stand for Super 7!!) FIC mobo (SS7? 'nuf said) MLI 491 4-pc. (It'll last the longest, don't know...

    Diamond Viper II

    You sure it's not $59.99 OEM? I am currently looking at this card ~$50 and thinks its good if you can stand flying trees and no support (basically a throw-away card). Anyway I heard there was a $50 rebate from Best Buy, Outpost, and some others. What's the deal?

    So Stick? Probs in Deus? Does it reset on you after a bit? Yeah, me too, it's due to sound probs (think it's Sensaura). I was told to disable 3d sound, but it didn't work for me! What I did is just scaled down to under my desktop size (for me 640x480 since my desks 800x600) and use windowed mode...

    Oh, I've got a K2+550 and 128mb, and 744-based DCS POS. I love the 744, in fact it has been compaired quite nicely against the SBLive, just hate DCS. I would suggest the you give the Aopen AW744 Pro a try the 744 is basically the same as my 744 card (in fact I use it's dtivers as it's INFINITELY...

    no AIW? Go for Viper II!? Help Pls Pls

    No, saying when $100 is a stretch (and the Radeon is considered a dream) The MX at $100+ is barely out of reach. What I remember about the VII, with the Jan. 2000 drivers it performs roughly like a GF SDR, the MX can't be more than twice as good (not more than a few frames at my targeted res of...

    Yes, Savage 2000 based Viper II for $50 (used, but still) I MIGHT be able to swing a MX for $100 (NO, I don't want to hear about 'But this guys got this rebate wich makes it almost free!' then I would get a Radeon. I could use a rebate on a Savage 2000 BTW ;-?) So I want to hear no more of that...

    Hehe, so what you saying compel? The Radeon can only get better? Yeah, that's what I thought. And what? What's that? The GF2 FASTEST in gaming?! HAHA! OK, in about as many cases as the V3 being faster than GF2 (check out UT results from K2/3 upgrade guide, its hillarious... but true!!) otherwise...

    AIW Radeon PCI!!

    :cool: idn't it cooooooooooooollllllllllll anyway I would use it, then sooner or later (much later) upgrade, so can I u/g with my AGP then use the card as a stand alone (be it very expensive... well not for HDTV even H/W MPEG2, means AC3 would have to be through my Soundcard, oh shucks!) TV...

    Geforce MX eVGA or Inno 3d

    So you gonna' get the fanless, OEM one. Don't know how that will affect OC, but... Hey if your gonna' buy a 486 fan for it, can you pick me up a 120cm case fan? No really, I need one.

    Which VGA for a K6400 and a Celeron 400 machine under 165.00

    Hey, Velocity 100, can this day get any greater? Anyway that's what I got ;-? It gives me 40fps on 800x600 Half Life (Not demos, I use show_fps 1 as I can't work demos) and 20 on MDK (dang tnl) with K2+550. As I've been itchin' to get up to 1024x768 (meaning BOTH monitor and vc upgrade... but...
