Is it old? It cost £100 and was the only card he wanted. He played Silent Hunter last night, well impressed it took about 5 minutes to install and no need to turn the graphics down which he had to do on other machine.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 3
omg you were scanked on that card. You can get a 4870 for that price
The 9800GT iirc was basically the same as a 8800GT so it is a tad long in the tooth considering the prices of the 4870 cards now

9800Gt is a 8800GT with a 55nm core. I.e. it runs cooler.

I have an 8800GT actually, it plays everything i've thrown at it so far though

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 3
If it's old at £100, I can only imagine the prices of a 'new' one.
He's happy with it and will be even more so as I'm off to pick up another 2 gig of ram.
Oh and I'm going to do the boring shopping today for food n stuff

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 3
Mags you can get better for the money that is all I am saying. You can get a GTS250 got the same price and you can get the 9800GT for a much better price also
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/166184 even with delivery its £20 less
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/169557 here is the one gig card cheaper also
How much did they charge for the cpu? what mobo is it and how much did they charge for that.?
No offence but I aint surprised they only charged £30 to build it they seem to have done ok

Motherboard is MSI 770-C45 AM3 DDR3 £65
CPU was £139.
Total cost was £435 inc build, that inc case, dvd writer, 2gb ddr3 and cooler and another £35 today for more ram.
Thanks for looking for me zing. I'm a pain in the butt when it comes to shopping, I want it there n then I hate waiting, so while it cost a bit more to go into the shop n get it he's over the moon with it.
