    Ive always been AMD loyal, and up until last week, nVidia loyal. Ive NEVER had intel, so maybe Ill give it a shot, I want quad core rig though. I was looking into the 4870s but the 260s just dropped the price, I can get one for $270 now, cant find a good 4870 for less than $300.

    Comcast to discontinue Newsgroup Service

    yeah possibly, the link, its not free but usually what Ill do is sum up alot of shit I want at once, pay $3 for 3 days and get it all... or you can swing $15 a month for unlimited, and trust me, you can access ANYTHING and their retention period is like 200 days... its useful.
