Server space. :P

... and from those of us who actually do care, we salute you.


Nah, that would be out of character and probably unwelcome, but thanks.

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.

The book "Mozart and the Whale". Couldn't resist.
I have that book. I found it somewhat depressing.

I have yet to read it. So many books, so little time. :(

2 2GB Kingston DDR2 667 Ram kits (2x1GB) and 2 ASUS Nvidia 8600GT 512MB Video cards for my older boys computers.

They were only AUD $92 each

After I upgrade my PC to a Quad Core I wanna get at least an Nvidia 8800GT 512MB.

8800gt goes nice. I like mine. I thought there may have been a 'real' new geforce 9 around about now but it seems quiet in the nvidia camp at the moment. Lack of competition from AMD/ATI I suppose.

I'll have to wait until I can afford a new pooter. Maybe there will be a GeForce 9 series by then.

But thats the thing, you have the G92 8800s (GS/GT/GTS512) which by the sounds of the 9 in G92 are 9xxx series cards with an 8xxx series name. I think they are just having trouble making anything faster at the moment seeing as either can AMD/ATi.

I mean their top line card now has 2x GPUs on it, and we all know how well that works out in the real world.

Thanks. :laugh: I guess I should have a look before complaining.
