I need a vid card for under or about $30 to replace a broken TNT2 32 MB card.

Nothing fancy just a new in box-card that will work at the same speeds as the TNT2.

IranianHobo

Thought I would give ya'll the heads up.

Been a while hasn't it gents? Well thought I would pop in and say hi.

Don't think I'll be posting again for a while though. Anyway I'll be around for whats left in my night.

What between homework and pron I hardly get any sleep ;) .

Well thanks for all the happy wishes and all. Sorry about the late response :D

The site was made in jest so don't flame me about it.

3 verizon phones (america's plan) and one sprint in my family. I think Verizon gets better all around service in my area.

I have some POS motorrola phone rihgt now, with no antenna. :D

Come Nov. 21 though I am going to get the T720. Color LCD goodness. :D And with some special offer its cheaper ...

IranianHobo

If you go geForce 4 go with the Ti4200 w/128 ram, great card. From what I have heard/read the MX series is not even worth considering you'd be better off with a gf2 or 3.

The ATI 9700 + 9500 are def. out there, search in google or pricewatch.

IranianHobo

If you're still looking The Castle by Franz Kafka was a good read.

IranianHobo

Well just ran Prime95, and got errors after about 20 mins. On top of that I get a blue screeen of death every now and then and AIM crashed frequently (switched to trillian).

Well I think it is the PSU because that is just about the only pos in my comp. It came with my maxtop case and is rated for ...

IranianHobo

PSU: Generic 350 Watts that came with case

I actually dont have a spare 4 pin plug to put into the EZ-Plug connector for the ASUS, meanth to say that earlier.

lol bob yeah I meant 12.096

I let it idle for about 2 hours and it didn't shut down but AIM still crashed.

Get back to this thread ...

IranianHobo

whoa snake thnx a lot. So I uncheck it.

Any idea what kind of failures could be happening though?

AIM still shuts down.

IranianHobo

I think I might have found the problem, my case fans are heat sensitive and they sometimes dip under the threshold so the mobo was auto power offing. I set the case fans to ignore. Hopefully this will work, post back in like 30 mins.

IranianHobo
