Ended up going nvidia for a change of pace, plus i got it for less than half price, can't sneeze at that dance: Not too loud either, i read all these horror stories about the 6800 series being another dustbuster, this one seems pretty quiet. Only thing im suprised at is its running fine in a shuttle with a 200 watt powersupply, along with a 3.2 pentium 4, cd-rw and a harddrive.

Still trying to get to grips with this ass backward control panel as well, ati panel seemed more straightforward, this one has all these new terms like "conformant texture clamp" .. wha? stupid:

Came to just under £200. I was pretty limited on choices for my shuttle, wante something with good power but the shuttle limits you with the agp slot being so close to the edge of the case, coulda got an x800xl but i just decided to give this one a try.

Wait....you upgraded your top-of-the-line-best-money-can-buy X800? Now...what's the point of that?

Doctor Duffy · 07-20-2005, 11:05 AM

Jesus, now I've gotta ask why you have TWO top-of-the-line PC's.

My shuttles not really top of the line. Its just a mobile pc for me, if im going to my cousins for the weekend or something it can tag along. Plus its alot quieter than my main machine.

Stammer · 07-20-2005, 11:09 AM

I can't stand the shitty pictures they put on the fan.

Doctor Duffy · 07-20-2005, 11:12 AM
