PriceWatch.com usually has alot of great deals.

For those prices, you can't beat it with a bat? Here is the homepage link: Original Site And Prices. Here is the site to check for deployment in your area (very informative): Verizon Fios Check Site....I hit this one alot. For the second link, click on "Deployment Reports" on the left, select you region, and use the color key to see if it's coming to your area.

What an asshole. You've obviously got it twisted! A trusted member welcomed you to the site and offered his advice/help, and you decided to answer like a total idiot. Hopefully you won't get any help here, and your lines are bad...you deserve it chump! It always seems to be some miserable jerk-off waiting for an opportunity to disrupt another member's thread. Ca3le Guy, my apologies for the flame, but he had that one coming.

The last page of the article that starts off with "The Future of Connectivity" states that this new technology is "Hot-Swappable".

ATI already admits that the new x600 PCI Express Card can send and receive data simultaneously at twice the speed of the current AGP 8x that we use now. These are just the first cards to launch. Wait until the x32 PCI Express cards drop in stores. AGP will suffer a limited life as the article "A Look At PCI Express" states. Why go out and get an expensive AGP card when pretty soon it will be even slower compared to PCI Express. Then you'll be faced with the issue of whether or not you should sell your current AGP Card for a far faster PCI Express card. PCI Express is going to take over and replace AGP soon enough being that it will be much faster and cheaper to implement onto MB's. PCI Express is replacing USB2, Gigabit Ethernet, Firewire, and a host of other pc interfaces because it's the new technology that's been a long time coming. We should embrace it. Pretty soon, this forum will be full of post about how much better PCI Express is and how we can OC this new technology to make it even faster - when it will already be blazing. I don't have any problems running any game on max that I've played (including Far Cry & Doom 3). I ran the DoubleCross demo from ATI and didn't get shadows like others reported. The close-up on the female character's lips were not as beautiful as they could have been, but stunning all the same, and the entire thing played with minimum slow down. Read this article and look at the stats of PCI Express if you are still skeptical. You'll change your mind soon enough. A Look At PCI Express Read this...PCI Express: words from ATI With RADEON X600 graphics you have the ability to send and receive data simultaneously at twice the speed of current AGP 8X solutions. The future of PCI Express is the best thing going on right now...and not just for graphics.

Those marks are insane!!! WOW!! I need an upgrade also. Too bad it won't be until my tax return in January . I wanna go total PCI Express.

Wow! Did that really just happen? How embarrassing is that? To alter your test results and get exposed. :knife:

This is, by far, the most stressful test that I've put my system/video card through. The graphics were beautiful nonetheless. -Shifter- Specs: CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3200+ [email protected] FSB 213x10.0Multiplier | Motherboard: MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R (MS-6702) Cool'N'Quiet | RAM: Kingston KHX3200A/512DDR x2 400MHZ (Hyper X PC3200) | Hard Drive: IBM 40G HDD 7200RPM | DVD-Rom: JLMS XJ-HD166S 16x | Burner: Liteon LTR-52x32x52 CD-RW | Video Card: ATI Radeon 9500Pro 128MB DDR-Flashed with 9500_33.BIN 340 Core/310 Memory | Cooling Fan: Zalman CNPS7000A-Cu Heatsink/Fan 92mm 2400rpm Fan Mate 11 | Power Supply: Antec Performance 480W
