TechSpot New Year Giveaway: Register here for participation

I guess I won't have much of an chance but I'd better try anyway... longtime reader of TS but not a great contributor on the forum.
I'll donate my 6800LE to my brother if I win (poor sod only has a Geforce 2). No kidding..
 
How sad I just found out about this. Well better late than never. My poor cat just died of starvation and we had peanut butter sandwiches for Christmas dinner (couldn't afford the jelly), so I could really use that video card! Now if you will excuse me, I have to go make a new hole in my belt.
 
continueing discussion of top rated video cards

hello: since online gaming has become of age and i seem to be getting older and slowly a bit smarter as to which video cards are top rated ,i figured id toss in some down to earth comments ! As a noobie i started out with a small vid card by the brand name ati pro with a small amount of onboard memory ! Boy was i disappointed so i tossed it in the box i keep under my desk! I did some research and purchased a geoforce 2 vid card it wasnt top of the line at the time but it was all i could afford. I used that old geo force card for 3 or 4 years with out any problems, "Of course" after 3 or 4 years i started looking at the new advanced vid cards and decided to go with a mx 4000 it was not top of the line but it was all i could afford ! mx 4000 rock solid vid card for the price, of course there are a lot of folks out here in pc land that would like to own a top of the line video card but just cant afford one, so we participate in contest,s and surveys hopeing maybe one day we might get lucky and accidentaly win something! In short im hopeing i might also get my hands on the top of the hill video card which is up for grabs in this contest also , but if the luck of the draw isnt in my favor its ok also ! I will have as of yesterday purchased a xfx 6600gt-oc 128mb nividia brand vid card and will be useing it ! hopefully later on ill have enough cash to purchase a top of the hill rated vid card in the nivdia video card brand ! god bless and please keep me in mind for a contest winner!
 
im actually in the process of building a new computer. ive gotten everything except my second hard drive and the 7800gt. this is the card i was gonna buy anyway but if i can get it for free ill take it :)
 
never to late HoHoHo
I would have to buy a new system just for the card
have petty on poor old Geek scrapping away at a new living
and can't afford such a great piece of hardware
my montor wil thank you
my eyes would thank you
and most of all my finished dvd rips would thank you

regards
the Stoned one
 
Barcelona campeon 2006

Since my wife is supervising my bank account, there is no chance to upgrade my computer... this is the opportunity I need!!
I could sell my Geforce 6600GT, and buy a new CPU, then a new systemboard...I'll keep the RAM and HD's... not bad for a Far Cry Lan Party...
no matter where you hide, run or swim (Xavier)... snipper contigo...y rocket launcher con Julio... Erik juega conmigo...
 
7800 is a great card for me..i really want it :bounce:
julio, do i have a chance too?even if i'm in a different continent from yours?
 
Oh God...i hope i'll win this videocard...it will make a perfect pair with my new monitor..
I'm a little confuzed....which is the best: x1800 or 7800....I heard that x1800 has a faster Gpu ....
 
2do post...

This is my last week in this job...so I really don't have much to do...I was thinking....maybe... instead of the video card, I choose a mobo/cpu combo...
I need some help here... remember... budget only $275
