  1. ok take a look at this picture here 9800 pro

    notice the power connecter in the top right corner, to the left of that is a silver cylinder then to the left of that a little black heatsink. That black heatsink is on a chip. that chip (still attacted to the heatsink) is mostly off, it's still barly hanging on to the card but it's certainly not connected as it should be.

     

    As for going PCIE i just checked around and I can't find a motherboard that has PCIE and supports a XP bartron 2800+

     

    that would mean new MB new processer and new vid card....I'll be lucky if I can come up with 250 for a vid card....So PCIE is out of the question now

  2. So I was cleaning out the case put my 9800 pro back in and plugging it in when i feel something snap. On of the tiny heatsinks on it broke off pulling the chip with it. I crossed my fingers turned it on and...ya it's dead.

     

    So i'm trying to find enough money to get a X800 pro. I've been looking on newegg and all the cheep ones are PCI express. I DON'T HAVE PCI EXPRESS :bang:

     

    Assuming I have to get an agp one the cheepest is a Sapphire refebished one

    there is also a ATI refurb for a few bucks more.

     

    Why the heck are the agp cards so much more? Are they better than PCI express?

    but what really's got me scraching my head :unsure: is the range in price for what I assume is the same card (just made my differn't folks) from 235 all the way to 299 for a x800 pro. (all prices found on newegg.com) whats with the big price jump. are there diffen't x800 pros?

     

    Last but not least. anyone see a prob with getting a refurbished card rather than a new one. I belive they have the same warrntee...i think

  3. hmmm Here is one of me 3 or 4 years ago. I need to find a recent pic. However I did like the photoshop on this one

    anyguess on wich one was actualy in the pic and wich one was pasted?

  4. Now that we're starting to get close to FF. Who is planning on entering the case mod competition? Saddly i'm gonna have to do my case kinda last min. so i hope it turns out ok but I plan on having something. So who's with me. Who's actualy working on something?

  5. wow thats just a hop skip and a jump from me....I'm in Athens GA. Saddly Athens is really bad for drunk driving. With UGA being one of the top party schools, and our downtown is pretty much just all bars (granted they are full of beautiful young girls) you take your life in your hands just driving thru on a friday night

  6. bah makes me want a dog.....but dont' have space or money for one now. Grew up a cat person (still kinda am) had a few cats growing up.

     

    As for breed bans...the only breed i've ever had a prob with was chows...one of them bit off my sisters top lip. (don't worry they put it back on) granted she was trying to tie a bonnet on it's head..but still.
