Why do rich ppl always have crappy Vid cards

[Torque]

I'm outta town fer 2 weeks eeeeeckkkk.
So we get to house where we are staying at nice house 6000 sq ft. I unpack meander around looking at pictures and prints of AC hanging on the walls then Fek me a puter boot it up YIPPIE PentIII 800. Oh finally some decent FPS in AH. I never did looked at vid card. So d/l AH tried offline 5 fps toejamty 8 mg vid card with 64 mgs Ram SHEESH!!!

With all the talk aboot the Uber CHawg this is real torture.

Heh...PIII 333 here, Voodoo Banshee Vid card...and I can't change it without changin the Motherboard (AGPx1 port, V3 needs x2, TNT2 x4)  

Tried to get a PCI card, but I didnt found any in my city (plus I dont have the money  )

RAM, no card "needs" AGPx2 or x4, u can always use AGPx1 with any video card.
Just put one in and try. Don't forget to use latest drivers.
P-II-333 runs fine at 512 MHz, if your Motherboard has 100 MHZ bus. (BX for example).

Friend runs a computer shop and he just updated a pc: Owner bought a fast AMD Thunderbird and mobo but wanted to keep his old video-card and cd-rom.
Friend said okay and looked what old pc got inside: 4xCD-rom and old (no 3d)Ati video card. He tryed to sell some new stuff but customer told he was still happy with old ones.....

Gie, I tried.

TNT2 crashed all the time (remember my thread about the video card not working?...)

I changed it for a V3 next day, tested it on the shop`. It crashed all the time.

So I got a new HD (that I really needed too, but thats another story).

all with latest drivers, tested at home and in the shop. The box put clearly "AGP x4 needed." my motherboard has AGPx1.

Anyway x1 or x4, both cards crashed the computer all the time

I am too lazy to replace this V770 with GF2  

Got moneys for it, but I don't feel like interested in buying one... yet.

Torque it's the same reason that guys who can afford Ferraris and Porsches generally don't have the skill or intestinal fortitude to drive them as the Good Lord intended...

Torque, Rich poeple don't get nice puter  'cause they're not NERDS like us...

My inlaws who arent very puter literate, had a PC given to them 6 months ago. They asked me to check it out and see if it might need upgrading. It looked old, I fired it up and discovered it was a 386sx with 1 meg ram and a 35 meg hard drive. I pulled the floppy drive out and threw the rest away!

Maybe that guy should get a CAT scan to see if there are any brain tumors.
