Built mine 3 years ago. With the exception of a new 80GB HDD(ATA 133, natch) and two extra 256MB SIMMs, she clocked in at $1700 total with monitor and all the goodies (cordless desktop, xDSL, CD burner, etc.)
What are you, 12 years old?? Imbecile, GOOD games are games you continue to play due to their REPLAY value. If I want eyecandy, I'll play with Winamp's AVS Studio while listening to music.
Games like System Shock 1 and 2 still find a place on my x86 Wintel
Personally, I've had much respect for NVidia's quality. I've hated ATI since their All-In-Wonder-128 years (bleaak!).
Besides, this is temporary until the new GeForce4(?) comes out and the GF3 Ti drop in price comparable to the Radeon 8500.
And for those of you who complain that ATI is like Microsoft (ie: trying to make a buck first), may I remind you that NVidia purposely forced mobo manufactures to keep down the price of new mobos with their top-end n420 chipset *under* $180, when the manufacturers said "Hey, you could charge over $200 retail for this thing!"
Uh, no, you're wrong. He's marking access points in wireless networks. He never mentioned that he was using this as a guide to driving from LA to SLO... that's why he had *maps* to giude him.

.. too much time on your hands? Or perhaps the morning coffee blurred the word 'ADVERTISEMENT' over the TechnoScout column?

What's the expected battery life on an iPAQ with the 1GB microdrive??
Personally, I'm waiting until after Xmas, when retailers are DYING to rid themselves of product.
Thanks,
