how the hell do you get $900 for your b-day? I only got $110.

i didn't. I got about $130 from family, $140 from friends, and the rest is from savings from the past 4 years.

@sgadzookie80 BoneMonkey: Take your fanboyism elsewhere kthnx

 

[BoneMonkey]

its not fanboyism nvidia cards preform better and cost less PERIOD

 

[Mewgia]

No.

No they don't. Sometimes, NVidia cards are cheaper and better. Other times, ATI wins in price and quality. It's pretty much even. I will not tolerate my thread being turned into a flame war. Don't make it one.

8ms is not fine if you want the best experience. When you're running high system requrements games on hi settings you WILL notice the lag. trust me.

it really depends on how companies test for their response times. until universal standards for testing are implemented you just have to go by the reviews (which is how you should buy pretty much anything imo)

Spend that 20 I gave you wisely.

As of right now I would scream out 'MAC RUNNING WINDOWS', but for 800$, forget it

I'm not really good with the different types of stuff in your computer so I can't help much, sorry.

MAC running windows for gaming??

It works perfectly.

Exactly. Windows runs almost natively on the Mac, and all the rest of the bugs and stuff will clear out in the next Boot Camp release in Leopard.

 

[ZeWarrior]

Boot Camp is officially out of beta. When the leopard release of boot camp comes out I just hope though that the drivers will allow for tap click and right click with 2 fingers

crysis demo is out MEW!!

 

[superrob]

Get a Q6600 Quad core processor

It runs @ about 10Ghz

Well i know its abit old...
But i just got my friends Q6600 up working at 12Ghz by overclocking it..
And still even only 50* warm.

My sweet X1950XT can run the Crysis demo on high 1280x1024 at 23FPS, perfectly playable.

DirectX 9.

 

[kellyan95]

Not much of a difference between DX9 and DX10. You can turn on most of the DX10 stuff in DX9 (the "very high" setting is DX10 only, but you can force it to render the extra stuff in DX9, and do a lot of the lighting)
