Title: s'not fair!
Post by: suicidal_monkey on January 24, 2003, 11:11:20 PM
I upgraded to an Athlon 1GHz system with 256 PC2100 not that long
ago. Bugger. And my graphics card is becoming seriously obsolete. A
GF2ultra cant quite hack it when it comes to games like bf1942 and ut2k3 :|

Saw this little deal for a radeon 9700 pro though and thought it was rather nice...

What you reckon? That a good deal? (Oh, you also get money off when
buying sticks of 256 PC2100, or you did)

I thought they were being knocked out at about £250 a pop, so £200 is pretty good. Right now it's the fastest thing about until the NV30 arrives.

Would you care to elaborate??

I have used several ATI cards in the past and had very few problems with them.
