Email me if you are interested. VERY nice card.

Thanks,
David

Me no have AGP... but if I buy a new board/CPU for the GF I may have a need... we'll see.

But then again, if I decide I want it, you'll have it sold already anyway, and I'll have to find something different. :p

I think I'm very interested in that card, Ice. I've been running a GeForce 3 for a long time now. And I won't have enough money for a complete system, so I might as well look at getting that AGP card.

How much for shipping (to Lancaster, CA) ?

I will pick up the shipping, no charge dude. Just want it to have a good home.

Ice, I'd really like it. I won't be able to do anything about it until I get home Wednesday night though.

If Asha'man wasn't on a sickly GeForce 3 card, I woulda bumped him off, but hahaha, you go Asha! This looks like the right card for you.

Consequently, Ice, if you happen to run across a good AGP card like this one, something above the GeForce 5600, then I could very well be your man. And a 6600GT card? for 85 buckaroos? Yeah man, I am totally in the market for that.

No problem guys...I am buried right now. Asha, I have to ship my Flatscreen in for service this weekend so I can ship it to you then if you want. Just email me your shipping address when you are ready. You can send the money to me via Paypal when you have the money. Not a big deal to me.

Thanks,
David

[shameless SH plug]

If you have seen this thread, I just saw another thread where Spinning Hat is selling a 6800 Ultra gfx card - its found in the technology section where Jester is asking for a new card.

[/end shameless SH plug]

Nothing like cross-referencing data to make your day complete. =)

Yeah, once I get back from leadtek it will be for sale, but it's a PCI-E card, not AGP.

Ice: check your pm's.

Matt,
Did you get it????

Yes sir!

It's over at the apartment complex office. I'm going to be late for work (on purpose) so that I can get the card when the office opens. I won't get home till after it closes tonight.

Thanks, Ice!

Asha,
Run the 3Dmark2003 on it before and then after the install of the card to see what it does.

I think it would be cool to see what it says.

David

I haven't had time to find 3dmark 2003 yet. I seem to remember that my old card got me to about 6,000 3dmarks. I think.

Or maybe it was 11,000?

Asha,
It working out ok for you?
