413549 2005-12-17 20:58:00 I am trying to find a PCI 16MB+ graphics card for my next door neighbour. He recently bought Tiger Woods 2005 for his 70th birthday but it complains he doesn't have enough graphics memory (he has 8MB integrated, the game wants 16MB). He only has one spare PCI slot (the other is filled with 56k modem for his dialup).

His computer (although P2 based) meets specs in every other way (I actually thought the game would complain about CPU clockspeed but theres a screen within the game that shows what hardware passes and what fails - the CPU passes, the graphics only fail). In every other way the computer meets his everyday needs so upgrade is out of the question.

I can pick up in person in Taranaki (north) or I will be in Western B.O.P for a few days over Xmas. Other than that it will need to be arranged via direct credit and post.

I have looked on TradeMe (anything on there is either damaged, or way overpriced).
I have also placed an ad on Trade F1, waiting for practical responses

PM me if you can help please
Thank you

(moderators: I realise this may contravene rules, but it is a last ditch effort)

Overpriced? What does he want to spend - $5?

413553 2005-12-18 03:28:00 I have a 128 meg Radeon 9200 that isn't being used but to be honest I'm not sure I want to sell it (yeah, it's one of those 'may come in handy one day' things), but could be open to offers. It may be a bit of overkill though. I live in Tauranga. PM me if interested. Jester (13)
413554 2005-12-18 08:38:00 Ooops. Welll wasn't exactly looking properly. I'm sure theres something suitable on there, if not right this minute then tomorrow...there always is, I get most of my "old PC needs bits" hardware there... pctek (84)
