| 795359 | 2009-07-26 23:12:00 | Good. Finally a decent card for people who have an older PC but not a bottomless pocket. When their graphics card dies when the fan gets clogged with dust, as it inevitably will, there is the option of a decent card to buy. :) I'm thinking $169 - $199? |

At that point you really need to upgrade, while Graphics is the most important, CPU does have an impact on gaming performance too. And you're wasting your time struggling along with old tech for gaming. |

| 795362 | 2009-07-28 03:32:00 | $145 + GST roughly from Dove Electronics in Chch. None in stock at the moment, though they will take orders. Approx 2 weeks delivery ex Taiwan. Got my order in .... | septicsceptic (15120) | ||
| 795363 | 2009-07-28 03:47:00 | I was never suggesting it was any good for a new gaming card - simply that it will be a good replacement for people who (had) a decent PC, and the graphics card crapped out on them, which does happen a bit with those useless old fans. At the moment, it's a bit hard to track down something that will be as good or better than some of the higher 6 and 7 series Nvidia AGP cards, this will fit the bill just right. Not everyone can afford $2000 on a new gaming machine when $200 will keep them going. :) And septic, be careful about your spammaging. :D Nah, I just checked and that's dead right. Very well priced, considering, methinks. |
