Subject: Re: Video Cards


oh ya, in my previous posting i should have given more info. you will want
the ddr (double data rate) card rather than the cheaper sdr (single etc)
card, as the ddr is (obviously) twice the speed in most cases. in 3d cards
the memory is a bottleneck, and the ddr is a simple change in the memory
that resolves this.

in that respect alone it is worth the extra money, as the card will have a
longer life in your computer. i still have a tnt, and it still looks good.
i plan on building a new pc soon, and will put in all the good toys at that
time (hehe. i dont upgrade, i just build another. you can never have enough
computers, as i like to say).
