At amazon: "So your becoming a pc gamer?"
This is pathetic. This is a section in Amazon where some guy recommends what to get for upgrading your system to a gaming rig.
How about a nice gforce3..... FOR ONLY $319! How bout a ti4200 for only $320? I wonder how many people have fallen for this pathetic marketing scheme: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...364696-5196100 -jel

obviously the guide is old, but they make it sound like the gf3 is the best card available now. than they make it conveinant to order one at a price that was high than and is outrageous now. if some smuck picked that $300 gf3 as his current high end card he would eventually find out he could have gotten a ti4400-4600 instead. if that gf3 was under $150 this guide wouldnt be as bad. They left the price at $300 to rip off uniformed newbs. -jel |

How about the 256MB of PC100 CL3 memory? Even last year you could get faster RAM. This guy would probably go to Computer Renaissance for his computer buying needs.
