    What was the very first video card you ever bought?

    I am with a couple of forum readers on being 'old'. My first graphic card I bought was an ATI VGA Wonder with all of 256kb of goodness memory. It replaced the awful ega card that came with the swan 286 computer system I had bought for work, college, and play. It was awesome for the games and...

    AMD Radeon HD 7970 CrossFire Bundle Lucky Draw

    I have been with ATI for quite a while since the 9700 Pro series. I have used Matrox, Nvidia, Trident, and ATI. For work, ATI drivers do NOT cause shifting displays, switching screen issues, and other problems like Nxxx. At home, I am on an 4830 in my son's computer and a 5850 in mine. I...

    Enter The Freeman: Half-Life Film

    This was better done than many of the Grade B horror flicks coming out of Hollywood today. I would love to see more of this. On talking, I wouldn't mind Gordon talking when he must, but keeping silent during the rest, especially as silence is what helps you get through without always being...

    Microwave Blowing Stuff Up

    I loved it!! We have a microwave at home, only for heating water and quick heats of already cooked food. Microwaves excite water within foods, that kinetic energy causing the rest to cook, and mostly not in a good way. Too many nutrients destroyed. For cooking food, there's grills and...

    NVIDIA Fermi - GTX 470 - GTX 480 - GTX 480 SLI Review @ [H]

    At Finger: I am not sure about Bjorn3D's review. The test setup stated: "Drivers for ATI GPU's 8.663 Recommended Review Drivers" If that is the case, the FPS will be way low for the ATI 58xx series. That said, Noise and Heat are paramount for my systems at my house. I have wife and kids...
