Nvidia is a chipset maker that supplies to companies like MSI, Leadtek, BFG, Chaintek etc... ATI is a video chipset maker and their chips end up in ATI brand cards, Sapphire, Powercolor, Rosewill etc...

Unless there was some flaky deal that I have never heard of - you will not find ATI on a NVidia video chipset card or box, unless there is a comparison on the box.

BTW ATI makes excellent chipsets, I just happen to prefer Nvidia at the moment.

I should actually let my wife respond to him.

She would put her foot so far up his bellybutton that when 4:20 came around he would need assistance from a ventilator to get high.

Apparently 4:20 has come around several times today already.

And as far as where i get those cheap but real good computer parts....Na Na Na......I,m not tellin.......

Would you like me to hand you down a bucket on a rope so you can better remove the dirt from the hole you're digging?

Over the line.

Buh bye!

That was very not cool.

I would appreciate an apology.

I for one won't miss you if and hopefully when you are banned from this board.

Way to go Golfer. Just so you guys know, Golfer doesn't need this kind of help. He is already the most deadly pilot in the squad while enduring 9-12 FPS. Watch out when he gets anywhere over 24. BTW, hope to see you tonight for FSO Golfer.

FWIW Golfer, as I said I bought pretty much the exact same system, and have had it a couple of months.

I'd say you're gonna be well pleased with the way it runs AH2.

The only knock I have is that it had all kinds of BS software installed (buncha naggin' "spend more $$$" crap) but it was all easy to trash

For giggles lets say I spent $400 more than you did for "the same thing". How long's it take to build a system? I'm going to be very optimistic and not-knowing and say 15 hours of working time.

If that's the case, I just paid the a team of experts who know exactly what they're doing because they do it for a living, in addition to the quality control checks they have $26.66/hr to build my computer and send it to me so all I have to do is hit the power button. If that's not fair I don't know what is.

I checked my email this morning and that sucker shipped! 3-5 days from now I'm going to be one happy camper!

If you were a little bit more computer tech savvy, you would have saved a lot more doing it yourself.

My new system:

AMD 64 3200+
ASUS KV8 motherboard
1 gig PC3200 RAM
Audigy ZS soundcard
ATI +800XT 256meg card
Pioneer Dual Layer DVD-RW drive
Sony 52x Speed CD-Rom drive
2x Western Digital 74GB Raptor Hard Drives
Antec PLUSView10000AMG full tower computer case

All for a whopping $798.56 and it only took me about 45 minutes to put it together. Of course, it would have broke the grand mark if I had gone with the 19 inch Viewsonic flat screen monitor but I see no reason to chuck out the 19inch Viewsonic Flat Screen CRT that I'm using now.

I was actually expecting my new system to cost me an arm and a leg but I found a lot of good deals on the Intertardnet.

Hmmm...I think it's funny when someone claims to be savvy in something and then post something like this and make themselves look foolish.

ATI and Nvidia are arch-rivals. Nvidia does not use ATI technology nor does ATI use Nvidia technology. That's like saying on every can of Pepsi, you'll see a little Coca-Cola trademark.

You are probably confused that a lot of video card manufacturers make and sell both cards. So you probably saw a Nvidia card, let's say made by Sapphire and then on the next shelf another Sapphire card but this one an ATI one. So in your little mind, you assumed Nvidia uses ATI technology.

And for where you get those "cheap but real good computer parts", anyone can find those if they hunt around.

You're dismissed.

Well you spent $800...I spent just over $1000. Worth it. The service/support isn't a bad thing for someone like me with no real drive to learn about computer hardware and the ease of use. Like you mentioned, I got the nice flat screen monitor too so that makes up the difference easily. I'm pleased and it's all financed so there's nothing out of pocket for me and I make enough money to pay it off with "excess" cash in about 4 months and keep living comfortably. I'm just a poor college kid man

Sounds like a good system AckAck. I've got a flat screen 17" "CRT" tv tube monitor, a regular 17" tv tube monitor and this new flat screen. I like the flat CRT the best I think but I'm looking forward to having the smaller monitor in terms of space wise...I'm really pushed for desk space.
