I'm building a new computer, p4 northwood 1.6 o'c system and i got my geforce 4 ti4600 today but i still am waiting on the ram, hd, case. I'm thinking about firing up my geforce 4 in my current computer that already has a geforce 3 ti200 in it , but the main reason i got this stuff was because of games like morrowind, etc that are coming out later on.

you haven't tried it yet,how can you stand to see it just sitting there ? A nice shiny new video card is in a computer within half an hour of arriving around here :)

Test it. If you wait past the 15 or 30 day return window, you may have trouble returning it and will have to RMA it with the manufacturer.

Pop it in and give it a thorough thrashing.

i didn't get it from the manufactuer, got it off anandtech fs/ft for only 315, it came with a vivo dongle whatever that is.

Oh well, no matter who you bought it from, it's always best to test the part as soon as possible. That way any claim of DOA or defective parts is more believable.
