Well in light of getting my computer up and running with legit copies of Windows XP and some other stuff, I spent some money on some hardware upgrades, namely the LCD widescreen, and some much quieter fans (that have yet to be installed).

So i was taking apart the heatsink/fan assembly on my Radeon 9700 video card, and when I finally nudged the heatsink off the GPU, I noticed that it took a couple of GPU resistors with it. The freagn thermal paste acted as a glue and took the resistors with it.

needless to say i'm pretty pissed.

that is all.

 

Time to upgrade the vid card, get something else? I'm guessing AGP?

 

yeah AGP

everyone sells PCI-e nowadays.

i dont think my mobo even has a pci-e slot.

its all good i only use my computer to surf, mp3, and edit pictures.

but i'm still pissed. the fan i got costs 35 bucks. now i might just buy a 50 dollar video card that doesnt even have a fan.

 

i have a agp 9800 128 with aftermarket heatsink that id be willing to part with

 

I have a Ti4200 i'll ship you. Old card, but it works.

 

I have a Leadtek Nvidia 6800GT that I'll be selling soon.



No clue what they are going for though. :shrug:

 

wow, thanks guys.

grifter, since you're local, i'll probably get that card from u. or not, we'll see. i sent u a PM

Nvidia or go home.

By the way, i'll probably buy that 6800GT wagz. It would be a good backu up.

My 7600GS is kinda outdated, but still performs VERY well.
