That... then when i get enough i'll get a pci-e graphics card and add it to that...
or i'll try and sell my 6600gt (i got for $212) i'll try and sell for $250 then i will have $450 to buy a 6600gt pci-e or higher and mobo but still getting the dual core.
i'll go with the first option until i can find a buying for at least $200 .

if I was the guy you were trying to sell that card to....
I'd take that card from you and pound it up yer arse.....sideways even :dry:

how can you justify trying to sell something used for more than it goes retail?
take the loss like a fucking man, get $100 or so back on it or whatever
but don't go trying to fuck poeple over

do you mean a scam artist or a lying fuck when talking about capt_spazad?

use that money to buy a PCI-E card equivalent OR a better card

if u went w/ the equivalent card for PCI-E, then take the surplus money and put it towards a good DUAL CORE AMD processor as gameguy pointed out, preferabbly 3800+ and up.

and if u went with a more extravagent vid card, then save up and get a dual core anyway, cuz in a few months/year(s) ull need to upgrade to dualcore anyway.


edit: real life example: i sold my geforce fx5200, yes a crappy 5200 128mb PCI (not express or AGP!) card, for 250 dollars canadian! i installed it for him, he's like 12 yrs old and got his parents to buy it for him. i didnt find any buyers but u gotta keep looking, there is always someone dumb enough, always. but then again, this was half a year ago, no idea what 5200's were worth, but definitely not that much, prob. not even worth 60 bucks back then :D

:lol: :lol:

The 12-year old probably upgraded from integrated graphics anyways, so the 5200fx would be a gaming beast for him...All he probably plays is CS1.6 or something. He's gonna find out though, soon or later and curse cpt_azad for his next 200 generations.

A fine example of how to rip someone off. A 12year old at that. Remind me to never buy anything from cpt_azad. :dry:

lets see hmmm, u probably know more about computers than i do, therfore:

1) u would not fall for my tricks
2) if you were in my shoes and had an oppurtunity to make extra money, then you would definitely do what i did :)

and ya it was an integrated onboard vid card that kid had, lol he still has no clue :P :lol:

That kid got pwned. :P I would do the same lol if I had the chance, I must admit.

I know its buyer beware but after reading a couple of the retard ,ripoff a twelve year old child coments its fucking unbelievable ! Have some pride and atleast give him some programs and a lifetime warranty for christ sake .

How dare you. You cannot know what I would do. It's my choice if I want to be honest and/or ethical or not. You have no right to decide that for me. :angry:

And no. I wouldn't do the same thing. :dry:
