Just got one for $30 after rebates.

1 GB of video ram? hmm what video card is this?

Not bad, I got my 200GB external for something like $90 after rebates. I love Fry's :love:

 

[Toshi]

ah, but have the rebates actually been honored? rebatestatus.com is the devil, and will do anything and everything to screw you out of your valid rebate

 

[manziman]

no, I got the $100 check a couple months later. Put it towards the purchase of new pedals.

So, my 6 year soon to be 7 year old POS is still ticking.

I would definetly like to know. I think Mike has been hitting the sauce already.

 

[MMike]

well it's an ATI radeon 9550 series..... whatever that is...

Heh, then it certainly isnt 1g of video ram. More like 128 - if that. My 9800 pro only has 256.

 

[MMike]

Jsut found the sticker on the box..

"256MB 128 bit DDR DRAM"

 

[MMike]

I guess the 1024 was something else. It was custom built by our company coputer guy...

hm, i use my mac for lots of video editing and such. have 4 different drives. all add up to 800gigs...

 

[Broken_Spoke]

someone makes a 200 gig hard drive

 

[manziman]

someone makes a 200 gig hard drive

I guess...it's only about 186GB after being partitioned and such, but it gets the job done. lots of movies stored on it

 

[narlus]

that's a good deal on the 200GB external drive...i got a 300GB on a half-year ago, but it cost about $250. and it's almost full now...gotta get shopping.

 

[Discostu]

My PC at work has 2 TB in Raid over SATA and Dual Xeons, its nice, but I usually just use that for storage and work from one of the Macs (G5 Dual 2.5 GHz or Powerbook G4 17"). Yeah I know I'm a nerd.

 

[manziman]

you're not a nerd unless you have your Macworld Expo tickets...like I got them 2 months ago...heh. yea, i'm supernerd.
