Tribal Instinct

You will no longer see me hangin around - while shopping on Price Watch for a new vid card - I was curious to see how much my Radeon 9700 pro was worth now. Well the card I spent over $400 on not more than 2 yrs ago is now selling for $96! Yes I am behind but damn!

I have decided to start my own clan with Shawty and we will die in peace. Y'all take care...

Uhmmmm.... Ok Mr. Non Sequitor.

Err, what? Hoss you better be lying!

hoss is this for real or another one of your pranks?

This would be my form of suicide. To be in a clan with someone that cusses more than me? Unacceptable!! Now will someone steer me toward a good buy on a new vid card before I really jump off a building!

Hoss, you missed out...

Last week this ATI X850 XT Platinum was selling for $7.93 + S&H

I am boycotting ATI with their refusal to give decent driver support, especially for linux. Yes, I know that's kinda sad and geek-like... but if you've ever wasted hours and hours of your time to get lied and suffer horrible system problems you know what I mean.

Hoss what's your budget? I may have one for you.

So, let me be sure on this... you would turn down a very-high-end video card even if it cost less than a super-sized combo meal for two at your local fast food dive?

Start a clan with me? For your sake, it's a good thing you're joking, but in case you ever change your mind, I'm all ears. I've been having a bit of trouble recruiting for [CPFS] (Can't Play For Shit).

As for vid card advice (high-end, AGP I take it?), I recommend the All-In-Wonder X800XT at Zipzoomfly for $300. Plus, you can get a $20 mail-in-rebate if you buy one before December 4:

Either that or a Visiontek X850XT PE for $350 at Monarch:

Or my MSI 7800gtx for 425.00

Well I would spend $300 to $400 again - but we are going to have a baby in January - right after Christmas. I can't really justify that kind of money right now. I just want to get into the 256 mb area cheaply and make the big jump to a good 515 mb next summer when I go on bonus. So - found this one. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... etailSpecs

It's just 100 mhz slower in clock speed and 20 mhz slower in memory clock speed than the $325 ones I saw comparable. What ya think?

Not much out there under $200 that will justify you getting rid of your 9700 Pro just yet.

Maybe this one--if you don't mind an ugly video card:

You're better off waiting IMO.
