We converted it into the video card thread. So any video card related stuff, and some not, goes on here :)
Sam, I emailed you again.

Got it.
The offer looks good, but you need to pro up the grammar a lot. I'll make a few amendments and send it back to you.

Thanks, it looks much more professional now. I'm gonna have to dumb it down a bit though, it IS America after all. People wont understand "figure", so I'm just going to put down price lol.

No I'm not, people here aren't exactly very good at the English language. Give them simple enough words and they will understand, it's just good marketing.

Up to a point that's true. I think perhaps your initial idea crossed that point...

Abuzar, That is a typical stereotype of Americans that you hear from every country that hates us. You think Americans go through school and not learn proper grammar? Come on. You live in America you should know this stuff :/ It's like saying,"You're an Arab so don't bomb us." I'm pretty sure even the dropouts in America can understand the word 'figure' versa 'price'. Because I sure think that is the most important thing in their minds. :p

Dude I live here, and in my town people aren't the brightest. I'm not stereotyping. Anyway Simple words= Better marketing.
Like Pizza hut.
Gather round the good stuff
now
The good stuff.
Short simple things get ideas across better. You must leave them wanting for SOME details, so they call and you can pull a salesman on them.
Yeah VERY off topic.
EDIT: Also to clear up some misconceptions, I'm not an Arab ;)

Anyways I found a few thing that I thought were pretty interesting... The 9800GX2 appears to be delayed according to here:
http://phyxion.net/hardware/news/9600gt-...x2-delayed.html
And it appears that Intel, AMD/ATi and nVidia could form a "Gaming Alliance" according to this article:
http://www.mercurynews.com/columns/ci_8238036
I dont think it'll happen, do you guys think the same? Also I remember reading on another forum a while back that the 9800GX2 actully does worse than the 8800GTS 640!!! Looks like ATi will have the lead with their 3870x2 for a while...

Haha, Intel and AMD together, ATI and Nvidia together. I doubt it.

Nehalem is going to have a GPU built in the CPU so it may be that Intel might be working with ATI for that.

Lol, I know, I've been getting notifications ever since I posted here like a half year ago or whatever longazz time it was. :P
And by the way, they have that many cards to have a slightly different one every time.
So that every customer can find one that fits their needs.
Of course they can keep selling that, but I think it's both not needed and also nice that you have a choice.
But then, there were already lower- or slightly above -end GeForce 8's and high-end GeForce 8's.
This one might be more in between, I don't know.
*Looks*
Myea, like I thought, it's like a budget-version of the 8800GT.
Which would be nice if you can't afford the GT, interesting.
It's really similar, only all the details are a bit lower:

NVM, turns out it doesn't even beat out the 3850 512MB.

Hey dudes,
(Yeah Dinc we live in this forum. Where do you live? :)
The 3850 AGP is out!!
saphire 3850 agp
I have decided to sell my truck, and fix my Jag and start working with buyers since it's a ferocious buyer's market (for houses) here in Cali (Orange County - South. Calif.). So as soon as I get a good figure (do any of the local yokals know I mean price??) then it's off to Newegg to pick up 2000 3dmark6 points and shader 4.1 !!
Hooray!!! (Best of all I don't have to go through all that pain of making the gecube work, changing my psu, etc. etc. - and all of you guys who got the gecube chucked it anyway as soon as the 3000 series hit!) Of course I won't be over 10,000 3dmarks like ya'll (that's how we say it in Texas) - but I bet I'll be at least in the 4000-5000 range, up from 2260 :)
(I know, MaccerM, Mike, and probably also Abuzar, who is not an Arab - Persian by chance?) will say "Bad investment - your measly 3.2 P4 will be the bottleneck" but we've been through that before - $200 lousy bucks, slide it in, and finally that stupid Medal of Honor Airborne demo is not going to say: CARD NOT SUPPORTED. Right, Sam?

harvrdguy, long time no see (or talk, whatever!)
You're running XP right? I stumbled across an article in another forum on how Vista does not support the 3850 AGP card. Kinda weird since the DX10 part of the card is useless in that situation, but anyways heres the article:
http://www.theinquirer.net/gb/inquirer/n...supported-vista
Now I'm off to find some benches on this card.

Exactly my point. But that is how we feel. Just because we are Americans people classify us as dumb. That statement was not directed at you either. If I wanted to insult you I would of made it more accurate. It is coming to be a more popular stereotype nowadays.
By saying "It Is America after all." Is really insulting. I know what you were thinking when you said that. It is stereotyping. After all, if that were true, we are the land of the immigrants(if you get what I am saying here) :) That would be like saying Italians are dumb,Africans are dumb, Hispanics are dumb, even your people are dumb etc.. Some of them may be dropouts, but then why would they be looking through an ad? :P Further adding to that point, if they were looking for an ad for a PC, they obviously know what they are looking for, otherwise they would go to a Bestbuy and whatever to buy a PC. PCs are getting more and more pricey nowadays. :)
It's all good...and I know this went way off topic, but it is a public forum and I will defend my country anywhere(as patriotic and corny as that sounds). :D
P.S and I am not someone that usually does that,but the whole intelligence and America bit really pisses me off.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Back on topic.
Personally If you can afford to buy a GS but not a GT, I would save up until I can buy the GT. A GS 384MB with core clock of 680MHZ sells for $170. Also a lot of reviewers say that the fan on the card is very loud. A GT 512 600MHZ goes for $230. Even though its a $60 difference I think most will agree that it is worth the wait. Plus as time goes by, the prices drop. I still have my Radeon x1600PRO card that was about $220 back in 2005, Now it's $109.
I have never tried a Nvidia card, and I hear so much good things about them. Next system build I do,(which will be soon) I am definitely going with a Ndvidia GPU. I have noticed that ATI drivers aren't the best, maybe it is just my card, but I am still using the drivers that came with the card. All the other drivers crash my system after an extended period of time using them.
All.

I'm a wanderer around all kinds of forums lately. XD
My computer sits in Holland here though...
But I pretty much revived your home then. :P
I came in here one day, finding the original X1950XT-thread.
Posted some questions, more and more people came in, and now many months later it's still going. XD
At the same time, I'm still working on compiling an affordable PC.
Still partly thinking about upgrades for this computer.
But I think it's kinda futile and a waste of money to do.
I might just invest in a computer for the long run, I don't know.
Money... pft...

Bro, both my Parents are Doctors, what does that tell you about the kind of people at the Masjid. We have lots of Rich and lots of Upper Middle Class people. They are still Muslim though, so they will save every penny they can.
