w00t! No more dodgy chinese clone card :D

[slycat]

Finally got my computer to work again after removing my crappy chinese clone of a 64Mb Radeon 8500 (that I had bought through a misleading Yahoo! Auction) and replacing it with a nice and sturdy 128Mb MSI Ge-force 4 Ti4200 :D My brother kindly offered me the card as he was replacing his for one with a quieter fan (I kid you not). Will be £140 so that's fine. I get paid on Friday so I can pay him then. It's worth it to have a decent robust PC again. I shouldn't have so many random blue screens and stuff now. This card does everything my Radeon did but is stable and performs better than a real Radeon 8500! I'm chuffed. Hopefully, I'll get something back for the dodgy card I've replaced. Also my brother upgraded my power supply from a 250W to a 300W for no cost cos he's nice like that :)

I need to go and take advantage of this card by playing many a 3D game... Starting with GTA 3!

You know those cards are LOUD!

I don't mean loud, I mean Loud Loud. It's like listening to a little plane power up it's engines inside your pc when you turn it on.

No louder than my PC was already. The reason my brother wanted another brand of Ge-Force was because this particular make was officially the LOUDEST one you can get :P

I don't mind anyways, I usually leave my PC off overnight so it isn't really an issue.
