So instead you're clogging up our precious forum with 'thank-you' notes?!? Hah hah just kidding. Glad that their guide helped you out. Yes, it would be nice if there were more people like you who are willing to do five minutes of reading and searching before asking the big question.

Athlon 2500+, Asus A7N8X Deluxe Rev2, 768Mb Corsair XMS 5-2-2-2.5, Sapphire 9800 Pro 128Mb, Seagate SATA 80Gb, Fortron-Source FSP400-60PFN

Hey, I read it too, but there are always a few niggling questions the FAQs don't hit. What was immensely helpful was the list of cards to avoid. Those brands to avoid were fetching some low low prices. Luckily, thanks to the Guide, I didn't make the mistake of buying them. Hooray for me.

Make a list, post it in a thread in the forum, see what the response is and then see what Spitfire thinks.

That's what happened to mine, it was originally just a LONG answer to a single post, it got alot of positive feedbakc, and I was asked to clean it up and not make it just about the R9800 line (which the post was asking about), and that's how the ATI one was born.

Sweet, wish more people did like you.

I'm sure Spitfire and CoolS (wherever he is now [maybe his like PowerCoolooloo finally blew up the rest of his PC]) would be glad to hear that it was useful.

Will you marry me?



Hey... you did say "the big question"!!!

Me: are you saying I can't provide?
Me: cause I know I can provide.
Me: oh and I can provide money too
Rachel: why do we need money when we can just stay in our room and have sex all day?

 

[priyajeet]

In ur signature, change Rachel to "Him"

Yeah if I had know people expected me to do it I would've done something alot sooner. I got a PM a while back from kopykat who mentioned that I was supposed to be working on it, but I thought CoolS or someone else more nV-FX supportive was working on it. Now I'd wait a little bit for more info to filter back about experiences with the new cards to update, still too little out there to make a wise outline for me.

Like I said in the separate thread, I like what Gainward puts forth, but beyond that I haven't researched nV much outside of architecture (they had nothing to offer last round), but this time around I am intruiged by the GF6600 so we shall see. Still waiting on a good AMD 939+PCIe mobo to come out for me to start seriously researching.

I'll add my two frames worth to the other thread, and hopefully something will emerge that is solid.

I'd expect XFX, Gigabyte, PNY, Gainward and a few other major players to get a little more bits/ink, but it seems to be forming well. Looks a litle thick though in some descriptions, but to each their own style.

If I were to suggest anything different to what I did before, it would be to include links (clickable and embedded in their bolded names to save page space) for each MFR.

Anywhoo, looks like the ball is rolling.
