dude, you should give that money to charity, feed some hungry

You should sell your computer, sell your body to science, take the
money you're wasting on an internet connection and give it all to
charity. Then off yourself somewhere where the scientific body that you
sold your remains to can collect them. Thereby feeding hungry children,
advancing science, and raising the gene pool average of the human race
several points.

HTH, HAND,

Bill

That's a whole other debate, we live in a consumer driven society.

Yes, that's how companies make money from us geeks.

Every wondered why people cringe when dropping $500 on a video card, yet
don't even blink when spending $1200 on a digital camera?

Some people spend $1500 *every morning* to get their private jets de-iced.
De-icing fluid costs $30 a gallon, and gets sprayed on with firetruck
ferocity. It certainly puts things in perspective.

According to the Inq, the 7800 GTX512 will not only double the memory size,
but increase clock speeds as well. So the question should really be: "When
will Samsung be able to deliver 1.8 GHz RAM modules in sufficient quantity?"

Incidentally, there's only one game (and a poorly executed one at that) that
can take real advantage of 512 MB of video RAM - Call of Duty 2, a
dumbed-down console port.

No geek.... More likely an average Joe-Blow with far more money than
sense and a terminal case of the "my dog is better than your dog"
disease. No doubt spends many hours late at night benchmarking and
uploading results to his favorite forums ? Got your nitrogen-cooler
yet ? Most true 'geeks' share quite a bit of <common-sense> together
with sharp technical knowledge in their chosen field. However, keep at
it --- your 'early-adopter' contribution helps pay off development
costs and quickens the price-slide for the rest of us.

Anyway, the 8800GTX512 will be out in a very few months time. Like to
sell me your two 7800GTX512 at that time for say, $250 each ???
Keep chasing the rainbow and please put me permanently on your list
for your electronic cast-offs

You're jealous 'cause your broke ass can't splash down $1600 on the latest
and greatest.

No big deal John, not that you need defending but this just proves that some
people have more money than brains.

Wow. Seems like a case of envy.
Here is Richard innocently asking for some advice.
Here comes John with mean words all based on assumptions.
Sad.

Well, the reply could have something to do with the language of the original
post.
