We cannot decide things like that for you.

You are the one who knows what you want or need most.

[raiserblade2003]

ok, how about some advice on which to get first?

[3rd gen noob]

i'd say keep the money and save up more for the car :)

[Samurai]

yea save the money for the car... by that time an ATI 9800 Pro 256 will probably cost the same as a 9600xt :-)

Same answer as the first time.

[raiserblade2003]

but 200 isnt going to make a big difference in when i can get my car.....anybody heard of a car called "daewoo" ? been shopping around and i can get a 2001 model for 7k :blink:

thats whats bug me, its only 7k w/ power everything...im scared of getting generic stuff for my comps.....so im a wee bit...just a "wee bit" scared about this car.....but this is gonna be my first car so it wouldnt really matter how shitty this is. :lol:

[bigdawgfoxx]

Lol I dont like Daewoo or KIA at ALL! KIA IS LIKE SOME POS UGH! Daewoo seems alright tho ecspecially for a first car. Im in the progress of looking for a new car. Why dont u just buy a used mustang for like 8K or something..Or a nice Pontiac grand am... you can get them cheap used man..

[raiserblade2003]

i would buy a used mustang at 8k if i can one.....well one that deostn have 100k or near 100k of milage on it. but the daewoo car look so nice.

[bigdawgfoxx]

lol umm my parents had bought me a 2001 red mustang with 40,000 for 8,500. I dont got it nemore it smelled like cologne and my parents are like alergic to it so we couldnt keep it.. :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:

@TheFilePirater
thats definitley photoshopped. what are those, 35 inch rims?

woah FilePirater, you live in purpleland?

[bigdawgfoxx]

Yeah we all know that that is not his car. I live in Tyler, Texas and everyone here has like hummers, subburbans, excursions, escalades, big jacked up chevys, and vettes B) lol But that daewoo car looks soo freaking ugly and underpowered to me

[mooseman2070]

it'd be good for a first car, there is a land rover range rover for 3850,has like 15000 on it, but hey its a range rover

p.s. this has nothing to do with hardware at all

If this is your first car and your getting your lic. in 6 mo. I would get a junker for a year at lest till you learn how to drive :D . Nothing against you but you will make mistakes..... Or some one will make them in your car....

what happen? gone off your medication?

and beside how is this the same as your gfx question?


ok.... im just trying to figure why is the Radeon 9600 more expensive than the 5600....

in tigerdirect the 5600 is 149 with 20 dollas in rebate and the 9600 is 159....

any ideas?

ummm maybe tiger direct has the price jacked up? maybe the 9600 is better? have you tried shopping around?
