Ram Ratios

My grandparents just sent me $500 for xmas :D I think I like what I bought tho..I prob could have gotten a little faster CPU...Maybe the deluxe..but I dont really need it...I will just buy some cathodes and rounded cables.. :o dvd burner or something maybe..as right now all i have is a 8X CD-RW

Or graphics card..I still have $150 out of that $500 because I have spent $350 on components. I can still spend that $150 and wont have spent ANY of my money..in my sig..So I will still have about $400 :D

$500??????????? i only got 100 from my grandparent :( i guess they dont love me enough :( :( :(

You should see if you can still get your hands on the 9500 pro.


they have one here for $178

or you should get the 9600 XT if you like half life 2 you can get it for free:

and you should get a new monitor too...

Lol well..the monitor I have now suits me ok...Its a 17in CRT at 85Hz refresh rate and it looks pretty good. Is the 9500Pro better then the 9600XT? I dont like Half Life lol

The only game I REALLY want to play on my new machine is Battlefield 1942 with desert combat mod :D that 9500 will look niceeee I bet

I mean the 9600XT runs at 500Mhz core and the 9500PRO runs at 275Mhz core...The 9600 just looks better but I know its something with the 8 pipelines..lol cant the 9500Pro be overclocked alot also?

I am sure as you play more games you will find more that you fancy.

The great thing about the ATI DX9 performace is the fact that you can enable FSAA and AF very high and increase the appearance of the textures dramatically. If you plan on grabbing a 9500 pro, I advise you jump on it as soon as possible, because they dont even make them anymore and they give better framerates than the 9600 XT at high resolutions.

I highly recommed NFSU, it changed the whole way I thought of gaming. Or try call of duty. You can download the demos for free, or if you get the download manager flashget, I will give you direct links to download the full version free.

The 9500 pro is a steal and I advise you jump on it ASAP! ;)

Yes, when you overclock the 9500 pro it performs almost exactly as well as the 9700 pro. Did you not see the Aquamark3 benchmarks I showed that proved this?

...anyways, I have to go to physical therapy now...from that car accident...

lol i gotta go wensday cuz i had surgery on my knee...

Ok well really I dont think I will get this card because i hardlyyyy ever play games...and i would kind of like to keep that $150 in my pocket..or maybe buy a new optical drive as i use that more then i game..ugh i just duno lol..that will be the most expensive thing ive bought for my system and the least used..lol

I hope your motherboard comes with rounded cables, because you will spend 20+ dollars on 2 IDE/ATA cables and a floppy cable, plus shipping.

Yet another reason why I got the EpoX 8RDA3+, rounded IDE cables.
