hardware from zipzoomfly?

i buy stuff from there a lot. the only problem i had with them was once they shipped me a bad ide cable. i had extras lying around so it was no big deal though.

Uber HOT PNY Geforce ti4200 64mg AGP (poss 128mg) 79$ at BBY (Dead)

picked up 2. one for me and one for my brother. didn't get the 128 mb version, both were 64 mb version. still, for 80 bucks each, it was a nice upgrade from our old geforce 2s. before this, we were both gaming on 2+ ghz processor with old ass geforce 2s. was horrible.

Poll: FSAA worth $80 to you?

a lot of ppl who bought them received 128 boards in the 64 mb boxes. so its a hit or miss buy.

Why do I have slowdowns???

1.6 A has 512 kb l2 cache versus the old 256 kb. so its better about the slowdown. . . i dunno you can try overclocking. most people can get over 2.1 ghz with the 1.6A northwood or maybe add another 256 megs of ram.

So I am thinking about getting a new computer....

i think nvidia just announced an $80 dollar version of the FX. don't know when it will hit the street though. but you get a dx9 card if you can wait.
