0 FPS? by ScribeOfTheNile · 2003-12-30 02:12 · Score: 0, Funny

I noticed there were about three cards that produced 0fps in a number of the games tested. Isn't that just a little bit low-quality?

  Obviously, you failed to read the story but posted as soon as you had the chance. Would you happen to be a Slashdot editor in training?

Wow, 46 video cards at Tom's! by sharkey · 2003-12-30 02:17 · Score: 5, Funny

At an estimated 7 pages per card, plus 4 pages of exposition on the front and 3 on the back, plus a big chart: a whopping 330 pages of ads estimated! Go Tom!

My Atari VCS runs asteroids and lunar lander reasonably well. Why should I upgrade?

#1) New cards are faster then old cards
#2) Old cards are cheaper then new cards
#3) Best bang for your buck = older cards

I agree with you 100%, and hope everyone else does too!

I get nearly all my hardware from dumpsters and recycling bins, so the faster you upgrade the better my stuff is.
