Biatche 0 Posted December 1, 2000 .... After arrival at the airport and reaching home, I took out the casing, I found the processor+heatsink detached. Incidently, I also found my GeForce scratched. Perhaps, it's time for a change. The GeForce was very stable on my machine, now, are the newer just as stable or more stable? I would love to own an ATI Radeon 64MB with video in/out. I haven't heard much about the ATI Radeon - the goods, the bads. I seek suggestions and I don't have the money to spend much. I use my machine to play the Age of Empires series... The first release, the second release and the latest: the conquerors. That's about the only game I play. I would love to watch DVDs / DivX on my computer as well. Sometimes, I use the computer to do flash/photoshop stuff. Briefly, I mainly use it for music, age of empires series, chatting, a bit of others. I attend very much to *compatibility*, **stability**, reliability then speed along with cost. Suggestions? ----------- P3 850, Semi-broken GeForce, 256 MB RAM, ASUS P3V4X, IBM 13GB HD, SB Live!, 17" Monitor, WIN2000. Share this post Link to post
Down8 0 Posted December 1, 2000 From what I've read about the Radeon: goods: ------ best all-around card out runs at huge resolutions [1280x1024 or don't bother] DVD decoding onboard bads: ----- less than spectacular driver support for Win2K high co$t not the absolute fastest [GF2Ultra] -bZj Share this post Link to post
