oooOOOOooooo! Where's my bib! BBWF, what kind of controller are you hooking yourself up with?

For gaming, particularly with your big LCD monitor, I'd be aiming that money towards the best video card you can justify.

Well I ordered the DVD burner, got a Pioneer A06...and also ran into a bit more extra birthday money(unexpected I may add), so I may have a Radeon 9800 Pro coming as well... used, from the FS/FT forum, but I will take it.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys!

Buy 30 shares of ATYT and sit on it. With their dominance in the market right now, and possibly getting in with MS on XBOX2, it could buy you a new rig in a year or two...



Or just blow it on a 9800 NP, hell that's what I plan on doing

ATi is only $10/share?!?!? thats a steal
