Re: Help the Squid Thread

Let's see here. Let me just dial up my favorite computer store and see what they got.

Ah, here's a nice one.

Probably just pop in in your slot and go.


And I'm sorry. I'm from Canada and this is a canadian store, so naturally the price is in canadian dollars. Probably cheaper in the states.

Actually let me check something...


How about this. In american dollars this time. A little more expensive but worth it for a few extra bones.  tongue

A little cheaper this time. Almost the same card. Not factory overclocked though.

Re: Help the Squid Thread

Hmmm good post rybot, I'd go for the XFX card, it looks best to me (price wise).
Or of course the free card! Wow! That card must've been top notch about 10 years ago, and now its free big_smile (actually, that's a pretty good card for my old Pentium 2 MMX machine.. hmmmm)

Many thanks! That Geforce 6800 for $125 looks fantastic! Great find! I think I'll be going for this one...:D

Re: Help the Squid Thread

Well I'm about to spend the cash on this one here: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications … =P450-8622
But before I made the move I wanted to ask about one more card. This one here from best buy: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp … 9208162540
Its a 512, with ddr2, and agp, for 129.99, which definetly sounds awsome.
So I have two questions. One, which is the more powerful card (the first one is ddr3, while this new ones a ddr2)? And secondly about the power supply. Does it look like this new card will run on a standrad dell power supply (dont know the actually wattage)?

Re: Help the Squid Thread

That 6800XT looks pretty good. Just get that, dont think of ATI. I'm not going to go into detail, but Nvidia cards are better for the battlefield kind of game.

Re: Help the Squid Thread

I've always liked Nvidia, but this ati is a 512 for a cheaper price. Am I right to think this card is twice as good as the other?
