632533	2008-01-22 02:15:00	I was explaining why the plait 8800gt card was cheap, Because it has a crappy bundle. I was comparing it to a 8800GS Alpha Dog Edition made by a top of the line retailer. My point was 8800GS is a real good buy? How does calling Palit "worst retailer ever" get your point across? Seems your trying to back track now that your bluff has been called. If the budget is tight and the 8800GS is the best that can be afforded then its probably a good buy. One needs to remember it will be replaced by the 9600GT in a few weeks and the 3850 256mb is also cheaper and offers similar performance. Personally i wouldnt buy a card nvidia is likely to forget about in a few months time.	Pete O'Neil (6584)

When I say "worst retailer ever" I am clearly stating it is inferior in comparison to XFX. Because if you were to compare XFX to Palit and compare warranty lifetime, then yes Palit could be called one of the worst retailers ever. The bundles that come with XFX graphics cards are always awesome too.	CaptainVincent (76)
632535	2008-01-22 06:58:00	Is the "worst retailer ever" not a manufacturer anymore?	R2x1 (4628)
632536	2008-01-22 07:02:00	Palit is a manufacturer based in Hong Kong. It has 3 divisions Palit, Gainward and Xpertvision	CaptainVincent (76)
632537	2008-01-22 07:36:00	Hes right, Palit isn't a very good manufacturer. Who cares if he said retailer instead of manufacturer, it's just a little mistake. Id get a $300 xfx 8800gs alpha dog edition over a $370 8800gt palit any day. My 8600 palit is ugly and a bit loud.	psychogeforce (13310)
632538	2008-01-22 08:12:00	Why worry about a few cards that are only weeks away from being hopelessly outdated?	R2x1 (4628)
632539	2008-01-22 08:59:00	Hardly outdated, Theres nothing very new about geforce 9, Not even directX 10.1. Outdated hardware isn't the term really.	CaptainVincent (76)
