[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:

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

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

Harrow 05-06-2008 08:14 PM
