Yeah, if only because the numbers actually go in order. And the letter extensions are easier...... GT or GTS or GTX. That's about it.

I used to be an ATI hater, but when the x1900s came out, shoooot they have many advantages and the x2s are coming out like this week or next week.

I hate ati because SLI sounds cooler than CROSSFIRE...lol

crossfire is pure shet. and I retract my statement, the 20 series of ati is already out and apparently they suck due to the fact that ati merged with AMD.

ha ha, 2 8800's in SLI takes a recommended 1500w with motherboard and suitable processor.

Sorry for the double, but this is a pretty laid back thread.
I'd recommend Ubuntu 6.06 if you're new to linux. Mandriva is good though. or debian....
Also, how hard would it be to rip my 80gb hd out of my crap computer and stick it in a case for school stuff.?

You guys make me think my computer is **** (T_T) i only have a 80GB and a 40GB

it is simple, just open it, unplug the IDE or SATA cable, unplug the power cable from the HD and move it to the new pc .
Windows XP is free if you torrent it. priacy ftw.

He he, I stuck another 128mb
yikes in my bro's computer. (only for email). I checked out system info..... 10 GB. The os (2000pro) takes up two GB. That's 20%!I have an 80 and a 30... Looking at a lappy with 160 or so.
Also, this place isn't underground anymore. You might not want to be so open about piracy.

ha ha ha, VGA is the input of normal monitors (although more are accepting Svid, and DVI). AGP is the standard of peripherals.. Precursor to PCI, precursor to PCI-Express.

Thanks for jolting my memory it is AGP.
