| 302978 | 2004-12-16 11:42:00 | Man I'd be pissed if I bought one off that site and then found out it was a 128er... I guess thats what research is for :) | HadO (796) | ||
| 302979 | 2004-12-16 20:18:00 | Just briefly looking at PriceSpy (http://www.pricespy.co.nz) , you can pretty much assume that the more expensive = the better. I personally would be quite wary of the 128-bit business. Personally I think you should be fine with the 9600XT. No doubt, it should be capable of running almost every game there is on the market now. No guarantee for the future though -as you know with every computer thing... | ~sy~ (95) | ||
| 302980 | 2004-12-16 20:34:00 | so the 96000xt ultra is still the best ? | noone (22) | ||
