My New Video Card

Post by darthdavid »

I've got an old Pentium system with a Diamond Speedstar Pro in it which I bought to play X-Wing way back when. Beat that.

A radeon 9700, going to get replaced with a new rig with a 6800GT :D

Pu, I would send my old geforce 2 ultra (not kidding), if I knew where to send, and to somehow convince my mom it would work out, since that old box dosn't need its GPU for its future duty of being a server (now if it even has onboard is a question, and if not, how could I survive with 256 colors) ;)
