Cool Slight Computer Upgrade
I'm running an ATI 8500 All-In-Wonder graphics card which is starting to get antiquated now, so I went to compusa this evening for a small upgrade. I walked out with another 1GB of DDR400 and a 256MB ATI Radeon X800XL graphics card (the best agp graphics card they sell at compusa).


Sorry for the quality, that's my cell phone camera and the lighting sucked.

I would have gotten an sli setup, but it won't fit. hehe, I'm running a shuttle computer and only have a single agp slot:


Anyway, I'll probably pop it in later tonight and see how it is.

Umm harry? why did you go to compusa? the stuff there is expensive and not the best.

You made two mistakes.

1. buying from compusa. buy online from like tigerdirect or another wholesaler. waaaay cheaper and you can get a better card for your money.

2. buying ATI. you buy an ATI if you are on a budget. try this one.

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...732&CatId=1380

bit pricey, but cost doesnt see to be an issue lately with ya.

i'll find some other ones that are cheaper but better than that ATI you bought.

he doesn't have enough room in his shuttle box for that thing duh, and when you're harry and you have an impulse you go to compusa so you can have it in your hands and have instant satisfaction when you purchase
