262903 2004-08-18 07:19:00 This is often very subjective - check google for official review.

There is a new generation of video cards out - but from the last generation the Radeon 9800 and Geforce 5950 are still top notch - though cards required to play Doom 3 at it's best are not out yet.

262905 2004-08-18 07:32:00 if you can wait a wee while there are 512mb cards that will play doom 3 at max settings, but they arent out in nz yet but they will be by the end of this year or the 1st quater of next year but the thing is, they will be very $$$$ Patrick 2003 (277)
262906 2004-08-18 07:41:00 512mb ram?

Oh, I would be happy with 256mb ram, sitting nicely on a Geforce 6800 Ultra.

WTF is "im" ?

Should be:
I'm

Let's spell it again:
I - ' - M

Note the apostrophe ( ' ) comes inbetween the I and the M. Also note the capitalisation of the letter I. You are talking about yourself, so you capitalise the letter. (Some people may differ, but I learned this in my second year of primary school).


WTF is "aswell" ?

Should be:
as well

Let's spell it again:
A - S__W - E - L - L

Note the two words, not one.


I won't go into punctuation this lesson as I'd have to correct that shocker of a post from Ferrite as well. :|

That concludes our spelling lesson for tards lesson #2.

And yet you choose to use "WTF" and "tards" in your explanation.

Pot. Kettle. Black.

Lo.

1. This a help forum. Chastising others over grammar and spelling is not
the way to encourage participation in this forum.
2. He was on topic and did offer some advice.
3. If you feel the need to educate and raise spelling and
grammar standards, post in an off topic thread.

The way I see it, he obviously missed his primary school education so I'm helping him out so he doesn't spell wrong in his C . V . or something and miss out on a good job .

> 2 . He was on topic and did offer some advice .

'Go to google' isn't exactly useful advice, it's just being lazy and unhelpful . We would expect more from an I . T . Professional .

> 3 . If you feel the need to educate and raise spelling and grammar standards, post in an off topic thread .

No, then that would take it out of context and the person at fault wouldn't know it was there to specifically help them .
