Dude Im sure that card is fine as at the end of the day the chips are the chips. But is the outfit gonna be around tomorrow?

I'd go with the BFG , XFX, MSI or LeadTeK, GigaByte.

They all been around a while. Plus when I bought my BFG I got a good game (Call of Duty 2 DVD) with it!!!

Also what you gots again Canada Computers or the other "Down and Dirty" places? lol

Another thing to consider is moving to PCI-X
Your "hog-tying" yourself right now by staying with AGP.

But those are primarily for the new rendering under Vista / WINfx.

I'm not positive but I think XP/2000 will still only utilize DX 9.x

lol to be perfectly honest I have to fight for the attention of a staffer everytime i get something there... and you have to know exactly what you want. I've never had a problem.. but I've seen some computer idiots get weird looks when they didnt know exactly what they wanted when they talked to an employee.. but I don't mind for the prices I pay.

Do staffers get discounts?

yeah, i like getting fought over, customers can duke it out for my attention.
anyway, yeah employees do get discounts after a 3month probation period. i've been working there part time for over 2yrs in Kingston so i get special treatment!

lol, i'd say prove me wrong, but i'd never be in kingston for computer shopping. but thats my point with what pyscho said. you have to go in knowing exactly what you want, which i always do, so i don't care about getting crap service. but if you expect an employee to help you there, then you're SOL.
