    Oh my...Team fortress 2 looks absolutely stunning!

    I was really on the fence about this game (especially since it was supposed to be out soon after HL1 and TFC really took off). But once i saw that spy model...years of knifing people in the back and watching them fly into gibs came rushing back to me. If this game is half the game TFC was i...

    Radeon 9800 Replacement

    AGP Pro...

    I have an older system with an A7V133-C MoBo and was wondering what kind of AGP cards would run on it. I see at newegg.com that they list AGP's as 2x/4x or 4x/8x. The MoBo says it has an AGP Pro Slot (3.3v) which runs 1x, 2x, and 4x, so would it be able to run a 4x/8x card? MoBo...

    Mobile AMD Athlon XP-M Pros/Cons

    I do not know what graphics it has, I assume it would be an onboard. When I say light gaming I mean NES emulators, mine sweeper, and maybe something like simcity 3000. Nothing like HL2 or Doom3. Would these "small" games still be a problem for XP-M?
