I told you that you would love it <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START ;) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/wink.gif ALT=";)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>Congrats on the new card! It sounds awesome. <p><SRA> The Jargonaut<br></p><i></i>

Not a problem Tri. I knew you would be alot more happy with the new Radeon stuff compaired to Nvidia's lame assortment of new cards. Personally I don't own one yet but have serveral friends that do and have heard nothing but praise from them about it.<br><br>When I find the extra cash I will be buying one of those monsters too. My GF4 420MX is hanging in there but after seeing one of those cards in action and after reading about a dozen different articles about it I am pretty much sold. Have fun and hope you figure out your D3D problems. I still think it might be the Nvidia stuff stuck in the registry but not knowing enuff about the registry I would hate to tell ya to delete the stuff and all the sudden the computer stop working or something crazy like that. Maybe Herm or one of the other guys might know more about the registry stuff but I am scared as hell of that thing.<br><br>Good Luck and enjoy the eye candy.<br><br>|<idcapri <p></p><i></i>
