ATI Announces 512MB Graphics Card

Annoyed.Gamer writes "Today ATI announced their first 512MB graphics card, the X800 XL 512MB. I have some systems that don't have more than 512MB of system memory, much less on a graphics card. According to AnandTech, the 512MB card can't outperform its 256MB counterpart and costs 50% more. ATI's favorite Half Life 2 showed the only real performance increase in the entire article. Overall a disappointment, especially because ATI for some reason didn't outfit their highest end GPUs with 512MBs, only the mid-range X800 XL."

  1. My Wife hit me coz I cried MERCATUR during sex by The_Fire_Horse · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    What started out as an intimate evening, turned into a terrible night.
    We went to a fancy restaurant and talked about how much we loved each other. After dinner, we went for a walk along the beach, then stopped for a nightcap at a quiet lounge bar.
    After getting back home we went straight to bed and started making out - it was great. We threw our clothes across the room and embraced in fierce passion right their on the bedroom floor. I plunged my purple headed warrior into my wifes quivering love mound and it was that point which I forgot myself. I screamed out "OH MERCATUR - YUO ARE TEH HOTTIE!!!!111@2

    .. at which point my wife smacked me in the head and left the room. It took me a minute to realise what happened, and then when I replayed it I was confused. I came straight to trolltalk to get some advice, so please answer honestly. Should I:
    (1) Masturbate while thinking of MERCATUR
    (2) Masturbate while thinking of my wife hitting me

    Please answer quickly, as I am about to blow my load, and if I cant think of what to wank to, then I dont know what will happen.
