Problem is that for $70 you can get this card and for $30 you can get the ATI HD3450 or for $50 you can get the nvidia 8400GS. All cards run within 10% of wattage and have similiar performance and all are multimedia cards.
The ATI HD4350 seems to be the answer for sub $50 and the NVIDIA 9400GT seems to be the answer for the sub $100. So really if they would have been able to put out at lower wattage we may have been able to see numbers on a PCIE slot. Now I would like to see them take what they have learned here and apply it back to their integrated chips.
I completely agree with you. It just seems though that the mail and phone scams of the past are much easier to do when it is online. Look at the refinancing scams in 1st life, most of them will do everything over the phone and fax you all the paperwork. With no one readily available to assist you with getting through the lelagese you could end up in a much worse scenario then you were to start with.
When I went to high school we were mandated one financial class and mine was computerized accounting. That class has saved me more times then any of my other classes. I am getting closer and closer to believing that people need to take an online predator course before they are brought online.
I have been looking at the Iliad and latest Sony reader. My wife has loved her first gen Sony Reader and I think I will be making the jump soon. Now is the Iliad worth the price? Seems like the 505 will serve my purposes, but are the extra bells and whistles that are attached to the Iliad justify the cost?
