eSkyNET
Markham


Buy this, flash to Pro, and overclock.


Sapphire Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB DDR OEM $499 at CC

Saves you roughly $150.

I *think* the card has enough power for Duke3d, Dempsey ;)

Sweet Ill finally be able to run it with the detail cranked to full :lol:
When Steven Seagal kills a ninja, he only takes its hide. When Chuck Norris kills a ninja, he uses every part.

Chuck Norris and Mr. T walked into a bar. The bar was instantly destroyed, as that level of awesome cannot be contained in one building.

But I'd wait until the 9800 SE's are more common. Right now only Dell is making them (though, I think Newegg is selling them). Then you could do the mod I did or (at the very worst) get an excellent video card. ;)

One of my civil buds actually owes OSAP for over 6 years of university education. I think he's up to over $50 000 now.


I'm sure he'll pay it all back in the 6 month period so that he doesn't get stuck with any interest payments. ;)

X800 Pro "Soft Mod"

If they can do it by hardware, they'll probably be able to do it by software. This is exactly what happened last time with the 9500's.
