Hey dreamchaser,
Personally I would go with the 9700 pro - especially if you dont plan to buy another card for some time. This way you get DirectX 9 support. (Of course only the newest games coming out will support this, but at least you will be ready for it.)
Also, my answer depends on the...
I am asking because last night I bought the PNY Verto GeForce4 Ti 4600 card. It claims to support res. up to 2048x1536 and it has DVI output so I assumed it would be fine.
It turns out that it will only provide DVI output at up to 1280x1024! This wont work since I am trying to find a card to...
True, the motherboards are more expensive. But you can get the Tyan Tiger S2460 for less than $200.
In fact,
here is the link to it for $161.66, but as you say this thing surely is not feature rich!
Furthermore you need to use registered ECC PC2100 memory, which isnt the cheapest...
But...

Not bad if you want to are thinking about building a dual AMD system.
This means you get 2 x 1.67 = 3.33 GHZ for $292
Compare this to Intel P4 2.8GHZ at about $500...

I think you might actually be better off with PC2100 RAM if your FSB clocks at 266MHZ (I think only the Athlon 2800XP and above start using the 333MHZ FSB.) Im no expert, but I have read that there can be latency advantages to keeping the Memory bus and FSB balanced.
Anybody want to comment on...
Hmm... I dont think this its a matter of allowing myself to "get stepped on."
The way it turned it was that there was some other dude in front of me at customer service. I was waiting in line while he was trying to get the deal. By the time he was done trying the manager had made up his mind...
Just got back from Best Buy...
No dice for me :(
The manager told me that they would "price match" to $80, but thats it. I asked him how that is price matching when CC sells for $60. He told me it just was. That meant that after rebate I pay $40.
I almost bought it but I dont like to rely...
This was the exact reason that I chose grape. But coconut also looked like a reasonable answer.
I also had a problem with this problem:
"33. Which one of the designs is least like the other four? "
I think that the last answer (the scalene triangle) is correct since it is the only shape...
<< I think you missed the point of the show.
It is extremely PC.
They are making fun of Archie. >>
I tend to agree with this point of view. I consider myself idealogically left-wing, and yet I love the show. And yes, I think something like it could happen again, it just a matter of...
Did anybody else watch the new episode of "The Screen Savers" on TechTV today?
I thought it was cool that Patrick mentioned Anandtech, along with Tom's Hardware.
