| 105752 | 2002-12-13 21:26:00 | >may I point out that the ATI Radeon 9700PRO performs far better than the nVidia Ti4600 Why would you want to point that out? To show off you ability to read reviews? he already has a Graphics card which he seems happy with. Why do people do this sort of thing all the time? it's not pertinant! >might as well wait untill a faster AMD CPU comes out and replace your motherboard at the same time How the heck do you arrive at that? From 20years experience with computers I can tell you that there is never a good time to make an upgrade, there's always something new just around the corner so why wait? He can increase performance by about 50% right now for under $200. You're suggesting that he wait 6 months, spend about $700 for a it more that that! Perhaps he should wait until 2004 and get an XP 4000+??? *zips up flame retardant suit and runs for cover |

| 105753 | 2002-12-13 22:25:00 | Crozier - are you really suggesting you can buy a AMD2400+ for "less than $200". Where? I want to be in on this. | rugila (214) | ||
| 105754 | 2002-12-13 22:55:00 | >there is never a good time to make an upgrade I'll drink to that :D technology is moving so fast that at any point you upgraded, 3 to 6 months later those state of the art thingy u've upgraded is outta date :( I always have customers saying I've got a PC and would like to upgrade or do this and that, when I ask them how old is there machine, they always say "oh . . it's quite new, only 2-3 years . . . " To me, in computing world, anything older than 6 months is considered old . BTW care to hop into my Flame Retardant Van :D ? |

| 105755 | 2002-12-13 22:58:00 | >are you really suggesting you can buy a AMD2400+ for "less than $200" . I was using ball park figures . But at Price Spy: XP 2000+ $190 . 13 XP 2100+ $222 . 00 XP 2200+ $353 . 95 Which indicates that an XP 2100+ is the best buy right now for anyone on a budget . I guess that, because he specifically metioned the 2400+ that he's aware of the cost and is prepared to spend about $450 . My point was that there's not point waiting for tomorrow because tomorrow never comes . . . if you get my drift . |

| 105757 | 2002-12-13 23:05:00 | I've got an AMD2000+ now. Paying $222.00 more for a 2100+ isn't a sensible option, paying "about $450" (for a 2400+?) isn't a sensible option, paying "less than $200" for a 2400+ is a very attractive option (if you get my drift ...) | rugila (214) | ||
| 105758 | 2002-12-13 23:16:00 | I read reviews regarding ti 4600 and ATI Radeon 9700PRO - seems the Radeon have got a lot to sort out - read the latest pc user mag - they are very hesitant to recommend any of these cards. Anyway I'm just sorting out my upgrade chip options with my current motherboard. Hard drive 7500/7200 - forgive my typo - it was midnight. | Paulr3040 (2677) | ||

Paul has a XP 1600+ (that's what this discussion is all about, Ruglia!) Paying $222.00 for a 2100+ or c$450 is a very good option for him, depending on his budget. I don't recall anyone asking about upgrading from a 2000+, do you? |

| 105760 | 2002-12-14 03:25:00 | Crozier. You made the claim that Paul could get a 50% performance increase (1600+ to 2400+) for under $200. I gather from your subsequent comments you have now withdrawn this claim. No, nobody was talking about upgrading from 2000+, but somebody, i.e. you, WAS suggesting Paul could get his upgrade for under $200. Is some accuracy permissible? Need I say more? |

| 105761 | 2002-12-14 05:43:00 | rugila: have a really nice weekend. I hope you manage to chill out before the new week starts. This is not a war, buddy, iIt's a help forum. If I need to apologise it's to paul: Paul, I'm sorry I made a typo at 10 minutes past midnight on Friday night. Ruglia: GROW UP - Go pick a fight with someone else, I'm not playing your childsh game! |
