    My friend is building a somewhat budget PC...

    And...I just have a question. Since hes on a strict, we needed a good video card at a decent price. So, I've never been an ATI guy, but I found an X800GT. Seems ok. What I'd like to know is...What is the closest nvidia counterpart, just to get an idea? Its agp, 256 mb. Thanks guys!

    The new Starship Troopers game...

    The demos suck. I don't think the game is worth buying, and I'm a HUGE ST fan. The "swarm engine" is completely crap. In the outpost demo, I pick up the supplies, turn around, and there's about...err...60 bugs behind me. I can't beat it, I doubt anyone has. Does anyone actually...you...

    Repeaters...

    Are they really worth it? If so, recommend me one. I'm sick of these crappy connections currently my packets are: 67,000 sent 18,000 received Been up for an hour and 16 minutes. I just want to actually be able to play bf2 again, because all of a sudden my signal went to crap.

    This is a stupid question I know, but I've never had to concern myself with this.

    I'm swallowing my pride asking this :D, but: You can have the optical drive and hdd on the same IDE cable, right? master/slave thing. Im asking because I'm buying a board with only one IDE, so...I dont wanna have to buy a sata hard drive. Thanks, and dont flame :D
