Where are you?

[QUOTE=Lt Kyle;17420676]There's this thing called having to be 16 to get a job where I am.[/QUOTE] Here too basically, but with contacts you can have some special arrangements :colbert:

[editline]11:10PM[/editline] Pris is offering you a FREE card, take it. [editline]11:11PM[/editline] Unless he wants to give it to me, because my computer is only a p2 w/ 512mb of ram. :razz:

[QUOTE=PrismatexV7;17420312]Here. You want it, you message me on Steam before 11:00 EST tomorrow. If you hit me with your address before tomorrow, you get the 1GB of DDR 400 (assuming it works in your computer) free, as long as it fits in the box.

And he's going to be giving out shipping information to buy something on Ebay anyway, so this isn't any different. Tell him that I approve, he should come around. :smug:

jesus Lt Kyle... you're being offered a free GPU and RAM and you're not even replying? that's pretty rude you'll get a better GPU and get to keep your $60

[QUOTE=Lt Kyle;17418228]So I finally saved up for a new graphics card, I'm getting it next week. Bad news is, I only saved up $60. So my Dad is buying me a GeForce 6500 off of eBay. So that's why I'm asking, is a GeForce 6500 good? Does anybody have any pic's of what it can do? And here I was hoping I could buy CS:S instead. :[ But I gotta fix the Black Screen of Death.[/QUOTE] AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH, Your kidding right?

[QUOTE=NoseFinger;17423016]You're the nicest person on FP I have ever seen, rated heart.[/QUOTE] I was about to give yumyumbubble gum a Radeon 9200, but I didn't have enough money for shipping.

I think you might want to save up about $100 more dollars and get a graphics card that doesn't suck on a decapitated scrotum. Judging by the fact that you think that $60 is a impressive amount to save up I assume you are about 12-14 (No offense if I am of by 20 years) And that you still get Christmas presents. Maybe you could add your 60$ to the cost of a ATI 4870 and have your parents cover the rest as a Christmas present. Unless you are a jew or something in which case have fun playing snake and solitaire. BTW what the hell card do you have that this would be an "upgrade"?

OP why are you turning down a free graphics card? Also, people with good computers aren't "spoiled 10 year olds" They're people who save up money and work. I'm 12, and I managed to buy myself an 8800 GTS. While my parents paid for part of it, it still proves my point.

[QUOTE=Yumyumbublegum;17418551]What? The 6500 can't play tf2 on max.[/QUOTE] Yes it can. On 320x280.

Ok lets sum this up OP= Idiot OP's Dad= Bigger Idiot Everyone who keeps trying to talk to these idiots = Idiots [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Calling everyone idiots isn't helping" - compwhizii))[/highlight]

[QUOTE=theSPARTANhalo;17424960]Ok lets sum this up OP= Idiot OP's Dad= Bigger Idiot Everyone who keeps trying to talk to these idiots = Idiots[/QUOTE] Including you.

geforce 6500 sucks balls

OP blew it on the RAM, but he still has 23 hours for the graphics card.

OP is an idiot for turning down a free graphics card, wish i had someone that offered to sent me a new one when i was stuck with a RAGEFURY Pro (32mb vram) OP, just take the offer, he isn't going to send you a bomb for gods sakes.
