Want a snicker?

Do you think for that price it might be able to get faster frame rates in F4 that a $60 Banshee? LOL!

I purchased a graphics program from a vendor there. Was very happy with the price and the service I got. I know the wackos are running amok, but it's a very useful service as designed. nVidia's auction is a great idea I think. Helps pump up the e***ment for their new product which I've heard is a pretty good graphics board. Regards, Elwood

Honestly, what good would it do so see a competitors board less than 4 months before they release it? I mean, you can't copy it in time (not to mention being illegal <g>), and you're better off spending the time working on your own board in an effort to make it Go Fast. Now, if 3dfx had got a hold of a prototype Nvidia board 6 months ago, that would have given 3dfx a good mark to beat, but that's about it. -- Gamer / Programmer But not a Game Programmer

actually the two of them are legit auctions with the vid cards being put up for auction by NVIDIA. unfortunately some people thought that they were joke auctions such as the "auctioning off the earth" or something like that.....and made some outrageous bids. Supposedly the money is going to charity..... one thing about it that it is getting them some free adverti***t. i was reading that some guy has set up an auction for a card.......for personal profit.....and they would get the card 'when available'..... i see that this newsgroup doesnt hold the monopoly on stupidity on the internet :) -zAmboni

Alex, I thought the new NVIDIA board would be available next month. Do you know that it is 4 months away? -- * rrevved at mindspring dot com * http://www.cabal.net * [link lost in import]

>Alex, I thought the new NVIDIA board would be available >next month. Do you know that it is 4 months away? I said *less* than 4 months away, ya notice? Honestly, I really really don't care that much about any new video cards. My Voodoo3 3000 will last me for another 4-5 months or so, I think. And then, at that time, I shall see which cards are available, and buy a new one. For now, I'm just doing my best to fight the hype machine... no matter who's it is this month. <g> -- Gamer / Programmer But not a Game Programmer
