Under the "read private msg" link you'll see that you can "jump" to a "faq" section. I'm fairly sure that's where the people who are given faqs edit them.

Ask fredi if he can give you a clean thread. Keep this one for discussions but update the faq with the results and consensus.

That's just a posting FAQ, there is no FAQ for each section. It would be nice if we had one here though, it would need to be a 'sticky' post to work well.

dude, if they say wats better is more expensive, BFG is mroe expensive than Inno3d and i read somewhere else in this comunity it sucks.. ..
n grapeapegreat said bfg was ok though..

so wats the deal? ")
 
so wadya suggest then? im trying to keep it to 110 and bfg is the only decent one to offer to 8X at tt price range besides Inno3d

so wats the deal?
 
hmm~~ the thing is BFG will do fine as long as u dont overclock~~ so if u can't find any other brands, BFG is not "crap" it's just not that great lol

And do u thnk Fredi will accept my FAQ? it's not serious or anything~~ lol

But you did know we had a RAM FAQ, right?

I know we have elsewhere but I cannot recall which.

My sig is a direct quote from poopy. The grammer mistake makes it priceless.

I will however sell you my sig for 3 easy payments of $19.99.

If that be so, why not it be here, now currently?

Feakin' if anywhere needs one it's here!

Thanks I didn't know that there was one but it does make me even more curious/furious as to why there ain't one here now, Now, NOW! 😡

Those FAQs were all made by users here (sadly FatBurger left), so you can just as well compose one "professionally", compiling all other users' suggestions/contributions into one. Furtheron you can update it, should Sapphire go under and a new company is the choice of "Is [brand] good?" :lol:

Well I gotta go to bed, work in 7 hrs, so I'll think about it, but if I've got the time in my new position (last week in the current job) then I may start to compose something, and get the input of all our favs. Of course Matrox will figure prominently, as will NeoMagic! :wink:

I'll keep you posted if I decide to make the effort (as it won't be easy for whomever decides to take that on [I preferred the idea of multiple writers, but if one solid 'proffesional looking' one is what it take then so be it]).

FYI, my friend at FS just moved into the back as a repair technician for more PAY and better hours, and no more dealing with customers (except their questions [like why a floppy doesn't work in the CD drive when it's removed from the plastic cover since it fits the CD trays small circle, isn't that what it's for?] an actual repair issue!).
I guess A+ certification counts for at least ONE thing. :lol:

How could I forget the one who re-kindled it all. :tongue:

I will include everyone I like, and none that I don't. Who says I have to be impartial! :evil:

I have a pretty good idea of who I'd call upon, and yes, I'd give you a PM about it, but I still haven't decided if I have the time, I will only know by monday when I start in the new position (day shifts Argh!). If I do decide I will start another post like the 'Note to Lars et Al' post as well as likely research every past request for a FAQ here, and also see if Fredi will give me tips/guidelines, like can I link to resources like these <A HREF="http://www.tech-report.com/etc/comparo/graphics/" target="_new">1</A> , <A HREF="http://www.rage3d.com/board/showthread.php?s=0e457bbd7a05e59af52a32ba2f284b70&threadid=33656771" target="_new">2</A> , <A HREF="http://www.StupidVideos.com/?VideoID=597" target="_new">3</A> as an example. Sorry that last one was footage from my court case, Stupid Attorney General! Or does it have to be internal like this <A HREF="http://www.tomshardware.com/column/20030213/index.html" target="_new">Point</A> , <A HREF="http://www.tomshardware.com/column/20030219/index.html" target="_new">Counterpoint</A> . I think if we are stuck with only THG link/references it would cripple the effectiveness of any FAQ, and links would definitely improve it's usefulness IMNSHO.

Anywhoo, I doubt it will be an overnight thing for anyone to make. So I'll let you know, unless someone else wants to tak up the mantle of respectability/proffesionalism an do it, I have an <A HREF="http://www.StupidVideos.com/?VideoID=317" target="_new">audition video</A> showcasing my talents if we need to vote or something.

Anywhoo, I know that short term I don't have the time, friend's wedding next weekend and working until then. But we shall see.

Now, gotta get some sleep!

not bad squirtie.
need to read up on the FAQ though.
work your hyperlinks and colours and boldness.

Take a look at the HDD FAQ as an example on how to do a fantastically brilliant FAQ. :smile:

ok. .. wat abt albatron? i tried looking for reviews but cldnt find any helpful and the website selling it give abt zilch help.

Albatron TI4280EP 128MB DDR Retail - Full Item Specifications
Product Specs:

- Power by nVIDIA GeForce4 Ti4200 GPU
- AGP 8X/4X with AGP Texturing and Fast Writes
- 128MB DDR Memory
yadah yadah,, ,,


TI4280EP, this is bugging me, any idea wat it mean?
heres the website i got it from:http://www.compusaveinc.net/show_item_full.cfm?item=ATI4280V

and regarding the BFG? i tried to contact the supplier they didnt reply, mind helping me take a look at the page to see if since its oem, is it missing i need?
http://www.shentech.com/bfgasgeti12d.html
if i buy the ti4200 128mb 8X retail, what 'bells and whistles' will i get that i really need, i really can do without the software parts.. is there like any tv-out cables or converters i'll get?

tnx
btw, im not big into overclocking since i aint noe much abt it
 
Albatron makes cards for ELSA and ELSAs are real nice..... therefore Albatron is real nice lol~~
definatly better than BFG

Ti4200-8x is just Ti4200 with AGP 8X support, nothing else special~
