Dell probably realized people prefer to use AA and AF when playign games on a $2000+ computer.

I wonder how much a custom auto painter would charge?

I can't find any information on the radeon 9800 card dell offers. Is it just stripped down 9800pro card? Is it worth getting the 9800 card? 9800pro one is bit too pricey for me...

Showtime · 05-23-2003, 07:29 PM

325/325 I think, so its a little faster than a stock 9700pro.
