Hi,
I'd to have some information on good computer stores(hardware (voodoo2)
and software(games)) in the Toronto area,since i'm visiting this city
next week..
Thanks in advance for any help

Hope you enjoy my city. There are a few stores within Toronto. Future Shop
at Yonge and Dundas is a good start. Also Mediascape at Yonge and Wellesly.
Try the "computer row" at Spadina and Collage ( just west of Spadina )
there are about a half a dozen or so there. There are also a bunch of
stores just north of Toronto in Markham. If you need any more help I'll
give you some links to some local stores web sites. Hope that is some help.
Price on a Voodoo 2 board (12mb) is about $350-370 CDN or $12.50 US :-)

Future shop is generally overpriced for most computer periphreals and
their sales people are too pushy. They were selling a Memorex
CRW-1622 for $550 CAN when its only $300 U.S. They also tend not to
have as many good rebates going on as American stores. If you are
really interested in a Vodoo II. Then find a local computer store and
pick up a free Computer newspaper called Toronto Computes. Basically
all it has is adverti***ts. You can call around and find the best
price for the retail or OEM version. I would say most of the best
prices you will see will be in the suburbs. In the Markham,
Thronhill, Unionville and Scarborough areas. Many of the stores have
restocking fees so check around and make sure to use a credit card to
protect your purchase and don't forget the great 15% sales tax!

Right on!!! It is so damn right what you have said about the pricing at
Future Shop. For your info, there is another quite similar newspaper called
Computer Paper; it is as good as Toronto Computes. I have been reading
these newspaper every months for pricing reference and they have been very
helpful.
