[QUOTE=Fuzzy;16310671]ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB.[/QUOTE]

Good luck on making money on a 4+ year old video card.

The 9800s kicked *** for their time though.

Harrow 05-06-2008 06:33 PM

Isn't that only like 2 years old? I have a geforce 7xxx I think it's only 128 mb card and I got it like 2 years ago...

Seafroggys 05-06-2008 06:38 PM

The Geforce numbers and the Radeon numbers have nothing to do with each other. The 9700 came out during the reign of the GeForce 4 I believe (the 4xxx's).

Wikipedia says the 9800s were first released in early 2003, making them even older then I thought (granted there were different versions of the 9800, but the article also said they all came out during 2003).

Harrow 05-06-2008 06:43 PM

Yeah I know the numbers have nothing to do with it but the 128mb cards came out at generally the same time, maybe mine is a 256mb, oh well i dont play video games anymore so it doesn't matter :o

I just made 47 dollars off of it. Read for comprehension:

[QUOTE=Fuzzy;16310493]Sweet, got some bid action going on my rack already, and [B]someone bought my old video card[/B]. I need the money too. Glory.[/QUOTE]

But yeah it did kick *** for it's time. Great card. Right now I am running a nVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT OC!

iamjoe2 05-06-2008 06:51 PM

Yeah I think that started in like September of 2005 or something, I remember a Mike Portnoy video was one of the first uploads.

iamjoe2 05-06-2008 06:55 PM

Yeah I built my computer over 2 years ago, its running the 6600 GT. When Spore comes out I is definitly upgrading to something in the 8xxx for sure.

Harrow 05-06-2008 07:05 PM

Man that game looks badass, I saw a teaser with Robin Williams making a creature. Looks like it would be fun, what is the release date?

Fuzzy 05-06-2008 07:09 PM

The 8800 GT OC is probably the best current card you can get for the money. It's insane.

Seafroggys 05-06-2008 07:09 PM

September, last I heard. Check the Wiki page or something.

Nice! That's what my brother has and he loves it.

Most likely what i'm going to get when i upgrade for college as well. Right now i'm on a 6600GT and i used to SLi two of them but i don't have the connector so it is pretty pointless.



And i wouldn't trade my ride for any other in the world.

Fuzzy 05-06-2008 07:25 PM

:P I wasn't serious. I quite enjoy my HH Medium. I want to get another ride with extreme bell definition (probably a heavier ride) and then put the HH to the left of my hats. Double ride = \m/

I'm gonna be taking 2 relatively awesome computers to college. Overkillin' it but it's justified. My desktop which is dank as hell, has that graphics card, 2 GB RAM (Prolly will be 3/4 GB after a while), Audigy 2 ZS Platinum, 1.8 Ghz Duo Core, WiFi, etc.

My dad got me an HP Laptop for graduation/Birthday combo. Thats probably the most valuable thing he's ever gotten me xD I don't have it yet, I believe I will get it the day I graduate. This I will use mainly for school work/internet. The desktop will be more for heavier media, gaming, etc.

iamjoe2 05-06-2008 07:28 PM

i hate my ride, its a flat top so i have no bell

so i use a 16 xs20 rock crash as an aux ride for the bell

TimJim 05-06-2008 07:31 PM

Fuzzy 05-06-2008 07:34 PM

Haha this is the first time I've heard someone other than myself and my two friends refer to something that isn't weed as 'dank'.

All in wonder's suck.


I was considering getting a laptop instead of a desktop but it doesn't make much sense because i'm not going to be taking it anywhere and it costs so much more for the same specs in a desktop.

TimJim 05-06-2008 07:57 PM

you have no fvckin idea man


i cant play a goddam thing

fishbulb 05-06-2008 07:59 PM

Ok now I am 13 pages into my term paper and my right eyeball has begun to bleed...

TimJim 05-06-2008 08:11 PM

then you should obviously not poke it with your scissors anymore

Harrow 05-06-2008 08:14 PM

I don't have any visine, damnit...

Harrow 05-06-2008 08:15 PM

Is anyone here studying psychology?

Fuzzy 05-06-2008 08:21 PM

Couldn't help you brother, I'm sorry!


[I]Look into the mirror and tell me what you see
Is it 10,000 angels or a black nativity
You know that seeing is believing, so don’t ask of me the truth
The answer lies within us, on the forest of our youth

There’s a nasty danger hidden where our faith jumps the tracks
The last bullets of a savior fall forgotten through the cracks
As the gunsmoke finally settles and the bells begin to toll
He staggers on, victorious, a body full of holes

Do you remember? The choir singing, tuneless
But forsaken, their footprints weigh
So heavy on our hearts
Our hearts, moving on
Watch the vultures welcoming the tired
Setting sun, the rays collide
So heavy on our hearts
Our hearts, moving on

Saddle up the horses; it’s time to hang ‘em high
Wind ripping through the sad mess of color that we fly
A steady drum roll of hooves grows, they blot out the sun
Three men beaten haggard - living life by the gun

A honky-tonk piano stammers old favorites out
Then is silenced by a desperate bastardized shout
The fire in their bellies leaps, a sick inferno
Still the cold in those icy eyes threatens to explode

Do you remember? The choir singing, tuneless
But forsaken, their footprints weigh
So heavy on our hearts
Our hearts, moving on
Watch the vultures welcoming the tired
Setting sun, the rays collide
So heavy on our hearts
Our hearts, moving on

So precious is our purpose, I couldn’t spill it if you asked me
Thick and thin rein in the chorus, but it’s you for whom they sing
Come the coachman in the mourning through the salty tongues of ocean
What is love, but just a feeling? What is love, but just a feeling!?

Do you remember...?[/I]

iamjoe2 05-06-2008 08:27 PM

^what is that?

fishbulb 05-06-2008 08:29 PM

[quote=Bonham#1!;16311217]Confusion is my epitaph, how bout yours?[/quote]

Harrow 05-06-2008 08:42 PM

Heh, I filled out my professor evaluation sheets last week as if I were leaving ebay feedback. I thought it was funny to me, but unfortunately no one else could see the joke. I wrote stuff like A++++++ class would learn again recommended!!!
