Been running a TNT Pro 64 graphic card.
S'alright, 32mb jobbie.

But SR have a 64mb Sparkle Geoforce II64mb Nividia for £79.99.
And I got one tonight.

Oh lordy....sweet gaming heaven.
My old card was adequate, did a benchmark test and it came out at 800.
Did the same test on the new card?
2475.

3 times the speed and power.
All for less than £100.
You mentalist PC Owners really, really should get one if your not rocking a 64mb card.
The difference is stunning.
ALL my games on max detail with no slow-down at all.
And don't worry it's "Sparkle", it's still Nvidia.
It's still the shiniest, fastiest thing I've had in meh machine for yonks.

Now instead of playing games all night on the PC, I go to ma woman and play games all night.
Hur hur hur

Damn straight, GeForces rule, remember going from my 4mb Matrox Millenium II to a 32mb GeForce2 MX..amazing. The GF3s are superb (and thanks to the company who sent me 2 in my order for no apparent reason..), if a little short term with the GF4 cards already circulating developers, but the GF2s are still an excellent series; lasted ages now.

Only thing that disappoints me is the stock cooling, passive heatsink...but that's just me and my obsessive need to overclock, otherwise it's an excellent card for anyone.

Oi, I buy stupidly old hardware that no-one else could find a use for, simply for purposes of prodding and blowing up..nothing wrong with that..

How useful for all those people that could never need it. Nice to be able to customise and build your own machines from an infinite number of combinations of parts isn't it?..oh, sorry, Macs don't do flexibility..

Must..Resist..

They don't need to be that flexible because its perfection from the moment you buy any new range mac. Whats the point in improving on something which cannot be improved upon, and also which is so much better than any crap windows operated system.

Must..Resist..

Over the years I've become very jaded after many bad experiences with customer services, you have bucked the trend. Polite and efficient from the Freeola team, well done to all involved.
Easy and free service!
I think it's fab that you provide an easy-to-follow service, and even better that it's free...!
