QUICK, can any tech places still get me something by Christmas?

[archcommus]

Need a video card for someone but I'm afraid it's too late. 🙁

Amazon, order by 22nd, get it by 23rd

certain items only though.

 

[pontifex]

gonna be tough.
if you get next day shipping and they ship it today, maybe.

 

[MikeMike]

your local B&M....

 

[FoBoT]

B&M
or rain check

 

[skimple]

They have these places that people use to travel to purchase goods or services. What are they called.......ummmm.......stores, maybe?

 

[thehstrybean]

Unless it's in store, it's way too late...

 

[archcommus]

Probably have to go B&M and pay twice what I would have otherwise, oh well.

Who would I price match to, Walmart?

I just need something for my father with dual outputs so he can run two monitors. Any ATI or GeForce card with 128 memory would be fine.

What about newegg with pay extra for rush shipping option? Or B&M circuit city, bestbuy, compusa all pricematch each other i think

 

[jspeicher]

bottom line, if you buy it online, you'll pay to have it shipped.

go to a store, find something.

 

[Drakkon]

price you'd pay to have it shipped today overnight > price you pay at store

i'd imagine...

 

[archcommus]

Well Walmart has 32 MB cards for in the 40s, and all the decent ones are $65+. BB's and CC's prices are awful, of course, all $70+. Newegg has overnight for a whopping $25. They do have 2-day for $15, however I still can't guarantee it would've arrived on Saturday because of Saturday being Christmas Eve and because of possible processing times. So I just went ahead and ordered a card with the $3 3-day UPS. I will give him a card on Christmas morning and install the card for him as soon as it arrives. It'll be okay, parents are always happy with gifts from their children.

BTW, I got this card, just looking for something to be able to run two monitors and RCT3. Decent choice?

 

[mrSHEiK124]

Run to Sam's or CostCo, pay around 60 or 70 for an AGP 6200.
Oh, you already went ahead and ordered. If RCT3 means RollerCoaster Tycoon 3, then yeah, it'll run it just dandy, that game wasn't very big on graphics.

 

[archcommus]

And Sapphire's usually decent, right?
