Tech Talk--The Uber Geek hangout!!
Did you hear? NVidia™ has released pictures of it's latest card code-name 5900. How is that for a lack of imagination. I myself prefer to hear beautiful names of things I have to look up in the dictionary before I grasp what the marketers were trying to convey.
ATI™ has released it's latest card the Radeon 9800 ProXT which features an 8X AGP along with 8 pipelines and 256 mb of DDR RAM. To date, this is the fastest and most sought after card on the market. Gamers dream of it, and single wealthy males scrounge to own it.
Last time when NVidia faced a formidable competitor, do you remember what they did? That is right, they bought 3DFX, and many a Tribes™ player died in spirit that day. Sure you can find a somewhat reliable driver for the newer operating systems. It is just not the same. I still keep my two Voodoo 5500's close to my side, hoping the company will once again be resurrected from the evil empire. (Hey I can dream, can't I?)
STORAGE:
Ok, I myself love LOTS of storage, but come on, a 250gb hard drive? I can
see if you are a video editing magnate, or if you have some sort of mental
illness where you must possess every mp3 on Kazaa. For us gamers, my
typical machine has the 40 gb with 7200 rpm, with the exception of my P4
machine having an 80 gb drive. With a price of $250, a smart shopper could
buy a 80gb & a ATI 9600 pro. But hey, bigger is better, right? Ask any
guy.
Also, make sure that you check out CompGeeks
with the sale on the USB
pen storage devices. They are also the latest fad.
Ok, after you are done reading this you should run to your nearest Best Buy™ and check out the AIPTEK™ DV-3100. It is a palm-sized camera with video capabilities. Here is their official commentary "Measuring only 3.3" x 2.7" x 1.6" the new Pocket DV 2 captures your life's moments in the palm of your hand.
