how does this happen?

Aug 15, 2003, 11:44 PM

OK as you know my friends are at quakecon... well one of my friends just won a brand new Asylum 256 meg card (GeforceFX 5900 Ultra)... so yea... i am a bit jealous right now... since he has the best card in the world...

Jeff · Aug 15, 2003, 11:45 PM

Personally I think the AIW 9600 is the best card in the world... But I guess the 5900 is the best for GFX.

then i realise... hey has an ECS K7S5A mobo, Athlon XP 2100 PALOMINO, 256 megs of PC2100, no internet, a 30 gig hard drive, and onboard sound... thus meaning... he has NOTHING to compliment his new video card...

**Roadee** · Aug 16, 2003, 12:19 AM

hmm.......do you think you can talk him out of it?? He really doesn't have enough of a system to run that card worth a shit, and does he have enough of a PSU? Although personally I think that the 9800 Pro is a better card for IQ and driver support........both cards are pretty much even in performance.

LOL! Hey Vamp and that is close to me as well. To bad our systems suck, huh!

dipstick · Aug 16, 2003, 03:53 PM

Your friend is a super lucky bastard

You can always ask him if he'd do an even trade with yours though. You know, feed him all this IQ crap like the card looks like shit, it runs like shit, and if you switch with me the your eyes will love ya for it

Andrew275 · Aug 16, 2003, 06:03 PM

I'll keep using my 2100+ until it catches on fire, which probably won't be too long.

Aug 17, 2003, 07:30 AM

sigh... my friend is trying to gloat about his video card. Mind you he STILL got 400 points lower than i did on 3dmark03... so i had to wip out the whole "Your computer shall never compare to mine!!!" thing

edit: OH!!! i just blocked him and before i did i said " So i bid you adue (that french word for goodbye) and goodnight!" and i blocked him. I bet he's pissed...

BiGBrOwNPimpsta · Aug 17, 2003, 07:55 AM

Yeah, my PC is a piece of shit too- even though it runs all the games I play just fine w/ 4xAA and 16xAF-- What a Pile of shit it is- I should just donate it to the Salvation Army and hang myself.

oh wait- I have 512mb of mem coming in the mail, should I hang on for a few more days? Or end it all right now?

toddsmack2k · Aug 17, 2003, 04:07 PM

I know we all should just end it now with our crappy systems

todd, I don't think I've seen your specs . . . what are your qualifications to our awesome club?

I have:
xp1800-Palamino
256MB pc2100
ECS K7S5A (SiS 735 chipset)
and of course the 9700 . . . poor thing is in such a 2nd-rate home

...kinda like me!

Judas · Aug 18, 2003, 07:43 AM

......hand it over vamp.... i need to bring my barton 2500+ to justice...this POS of a radeon 8500le...just is getting away with murder....

toddsmack2k · Aug 21, 2003, 09:32 AM

Sorry Vamp. I was just so ashamed to even post my specs!

They Are:
Amd 2100 Pal core
512MB pc-2100
Biostar M7VIB M.B.
Last but not least my year old 9700 Pro which can run at 385/345!

I am so sorry that I drag down the whole internet experience with my lame rig!

Vampyromaniac · Aug 21, 2003, 09:52 AM

that's it

we should all upgrade at the same time and take over the world! maybe we can join our computers together in some sort of voltronesque fashion

toddsmack2k · Aug 21, 2003, 09:58 AM

How many jigawatts would we need?

Vampyromaniac · Aug 21, 2003, 10:03 AM

I'd say 1.21 apiece, a rough estimate

toddsmack2k · Aug 21, 2003, 10:08 AM

We will talk about it more at the office in the morning with our sugar mama's, LOL!

Vampyromaniac · Aug 21, 2003, 10:12 AM

Word, see you in the morning bro

Jeff · Aug 21, 2003, 10:12 AM

My Mr. Fusion gives me 1.23 jigawatts.

Vampyromaniac · Aug 21, 2003, 10:14 AM

I'd think that Mr. Cyborg would be running Plutonium

Jeff · Aug 21, 2003, 10:15 AM

I was, until I upgraded, duh! Now I run on banana peels and beer cans.
