Good to hear an opinion of somebody we all trust. :)

Good find. Not good for the NV30.

I love nVidia so much and I'm really upset they released this card so late. :( I just can't bring myself to buy a radeon at this point though. I'm going to hold out and see how PS runs on my current system. :)

I was an nVIdia fanboy myself, I totally understand. The Radeon is a great card though, just so you hear it from someone you know. The trick is to make sure to install and uninstall stuff right. Not too tough. It does seem like they shoulda just dropped the NV30 out the door in Nov. in any condition, and started over. They fell of the boat, and I hope this just gives Radeon a boost to get a little bit closer in the race. That means better cards for all of us. I'm excited about the new Radeon....

I have a ti4400 now OCed to almost a 4600. I think PS should run OK with decent graphics quality... We'll see though. :) 56k is the biggest problem between me and PS at the moment though. :(

[Navaron]

ARRRRG! Tell me you can get dsl or cable. This games not gonna be playable with 56k. You have to get broadband, I reeeaally want to kill you.:D ;)

[powdahound]

I can't get 56k... can't even get ISDN... or even cable TV. :lol: I am going to college in august though, so I will have a nice connection then (will be my first time ever). Also, I think the game will be playable on 56k, just wont be able to do much fighting. I'll probably be a repair guy or something. :)

[Navaron]

Ahhhhh powda, you're gonna be in heaven. You'll probably be getting into T1 or so. Make sure you remember to study. Where ya going and what for?

Fanboy = your lost.

I used to be a Nintendo fanboy till i realized it was just making me miss out on potential games i would enjoy. (I still refuse to play Sony made console though.) :)

Good stuff, thx powdahound.

BTW, I was a 3DFX fanboy...but times change. :D

[powdahound]

Nav I'm going to <a href="http://www.rpi.edu">RPI</a> and I'm not positive what for just yet. Some sort of programming something, but I'm still deciding and learning. :) Maybe even security... it's definitely a growing field. :)

Thats cool, I'm an aviation security major. It's busy.
