ATI sucks ;P Nvidia will steal the show. Nah ATI is ok its similar to the AMD/INTEL thing.
I never really liked ati because of the fact they put that stupid tray icon on the desktop for all your screen stuff. Nvidia started doing that stuff to with Nview but i disable it. Ati's alright i suppose but i went from ATI to Geforce2 years ago and i'm very happy with there products so :P. Whatever you wantever brand you like get Gforce 4 or ATI *cough* crap*cough* its upto you though ;) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kevin Graeme" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Community" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, November 07, 2002 11:03 AM Subject: RE: Main/Mother - board Questions > Don't you mean to say that if he wants top of the line to buy the ATI 9700? > ;-) > > -Kevin Graeme > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: William Wheatley [mailto:bill@;ediets.com] > > Sent: Thursday, November 07, 2002 9:24 AM > > To: CF-Community > > Subject: Re: Main/Mother - board Questions > > > > > > I use my dual athy for games > > > > just go out and buy a GForce4 TI4200 card ;) > > > > Even nforce2 is not going to have the top of the line gforce TI cards. > > SO i will just use onboard video when i get an nforce2 board, > > when they come > > out, for a 2nd monitor. > > > > Dual Tyan board with gforce ti4200 (you can get a lower model card and it > > will still rock but i always have to buy the best :) ) > > and 512 of ddr will be the shit ;) > > > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: "FlashGuy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > To: "CF-Community" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Sent: Thursday, November 07, 2002 10:09 AM > > Subject: RE: Main/Mother - board Questions > > > > > > > What would you guys suggest for a wicked PC for graphics and games? > > > > > > > > > On Thu, 07 Nov 2002 09:03:20 -0600, Kevin Graeme wrote: > > > > > > > Sorry about the E.
