Who doesn't drink?

Man it's hard to believe nobody drinks. Either people here are lying or only non drinkers are responding. I drink beer and lots of it. Probably not a good habit but I drink a lot of diet Coke too and eat chips and chocolate etc, etc, etc,. My point is we all likely have bad habits but if you...

9700 Pro...OEM or Retail?

As said earlier if warranty is the only reason you're gonna buy retail it doesn't really make much sense does it:confused:! Anyone buying a cutting edge card ain't likely ta have it more than a year anyway. Also I've rarely seen vid cards that last a year and then die...................less of...

ive decided to get a radeon 9700pro

Well it's certainly built by ATI and it has been my experience that OEM comes in a plain white box and an anti static bag, but I could be wrong. The box looks identical to the one my Retail 8500 came in, apart from the 9700 stuff of course LOL:D!

LCD for gaming. good or bad?

Bottom line is, from what I've read, is that the only reason to have a LCD is if you want to save space and weight, well Ok they look cool too LOL:)! If you have room you are better off with a CRT. You get more viewable area for far less money and better performance especially under gaming...

Quick! Name as many motherboard and/or video card manufacturers as you can that are not Taiwanese companies.

ATI's head office is indeed in Canada, Markham in fact, and I've been there but I believe their cards are produced overseas somewhere, correct me if I'm wrong:)!

Minimum Proc speed for 2X Burner??

Does anybody know the minimum processor speed for a 2X burner. I got a buddy with a P133, 128 meg of ram machine that wants ta burn CDs. I could likely pop a P200 in the board but would just as soon avoid that as it would likely involve flashing the bios:(!

Need some video card recomendations...

From all I've read no card has better DVD out than ATI. If budget is a concern a 7500 would likely be a good choice, if money is not a concern than a 8500 would have the best longevity due to its recent release. Unless he really needs the VIVO I'd pass on it cause it will add uneeded cost:)!
