...comes in a purple box.

One that says "4400 Ti" and "128 mb DDR AGP 4x/2x".

Power shows up on my doorstep on my way to work, so must wait 11 hours to be unleashed.

Please to begin the worship now, please.

Worship you for a card that will be obsolete soon? A card that's pretty much common now?

Don't think so.

Sounds like either the Leadtek or the PNY box.

Nope, eVGA. 3D goggles would be wasted on me - I have no depth perception.

I do have video input cables, which was what I really wanted.

What if they're equidistant?

I used to be able to, before my surgery when I was 16. It didn't look cool - it looked awful, especially from a distance.

Now, can we move back to the "Wow! A Geforce 4! Sweet!" posts I was hoping for?

Okay, this is odd...

I'm flipping through the manual, and in the Prefeered BIOS settings section, they recommend an apeture of 4 megs, and the AGP mode set to 1x, with AGP Turbo writes and reads disabled; and no, they're not posted in the context of troubleshooting information... WTF?

Sounds to me like that would hobble the card?

Only thing I can think is that they want to force the card to use the VRAM instead of using the system RAM.

I might be mistaken, but I think AGP 3x and 4x are basically just for allowing faster card-to-RAM transfers, and who needs that with 128Mb of VRAM?

But they advertise the "AGP 4X with Fast Writes" capability on the box.

Me too! I have depth perception though.

I was born with a lazy eye, and the only way for me to focus without my glasses is to cross my eyes. My eyes used to be crossed all the time without my glasses. I wore an eyepatch for a while in elementary school, which enabled me to keep my eyes from crossing just from taking my glasses off, though I can forcefully cross them with or without glasses now.

Yeah...

I was in the Virgin Islands once. I met a girl, we ate lobster, drank piña coladas. At sunset, we made love like sea otters. That was a pretty good day. Why couldn't I get that day over, and over?

That's for 100% compatability.

And it's a nice card. I'm happy with mine.

I'm extremely satisfied with my Ti4400 too. Great card.

Now head over to www.guru3d.com and optimize/overclock it (GeForceTweakUtility). Overclocking really does make a difference with vid cards

Mmmmmm....

Before: 3738 3D Marks
After: 6876 3D Marks

The slowdown in GTA3 has gone from "dammit" to "minimal", even though I'm running it at 1152x864 vs 1024x768.

EQ showed an improvement, but having the AA set to Quincunx made everything slightly blurry - like text and hotkeys...

Me like.

Soon I'll my the GF2 Ti in my mom's PC, and will no longer be any sort of Voodoo user.

Anyone want a V5 5500 AGP?

You could always drill a hole in it and make a spiffy keychain.

Would you even be able to put one of those in your pockets?

I'm looking at a V4 right now, that thing is BIG. We're gonna build a nother scrap pile comp out of it, in Win 98 instead of XP because V4's are more stable and encounter fewer compatibility issues with games.

What's this thing do?
That would be sooo cool if it wasn't going to hurt us.

Hah, no. If I recall correctly, the V5 was so big and consumed so much power you had to hook it directly into your power supply in addition to mounting in an AGP slot.

Fooker had two enormous fans on it, and it was about as long as a grown man's forearm.

Could be a fashion statement

Yes, the V5 is a damned long card and it had to be powered by the power supply, but the fans weren't enormous at all - they're about the size of a fan/heatsink for a 486.

The fan on my GF2 Ti is much, much larger, and my GF4 has the reference fan on it.

It would make a lousy keychain, but a perfect hall pass.

Me too, cept mines gotten better over the years. I can see fine without the glasses, I just kinda kept em cuz Im not me without em.

And sort of on topic, I wish I had money with which to acquire a new video card.
