though it really should be. There's now a couple AGP Radeon HD 3850's being made for the 1/2 person of you who don't have PCI-Express slots.

buy a new PCI-Express motherboard instead.

exactly, but there might one or two people here who still use AGP.

I think I'm the last vestage, and new machine (due 2009, honest guv) will remedy that

2009?! Screw that! Here's what you need to do!

1: Cancel EVE subscription
2: Use monies from cancelled EVE subscription to buy awesome PC parts.
3: Build PC, play real games
4: ....
5:PROFIT and hot rampant sex with tons of supermodels*

*Might be a slight fabrication.

QFT! Especially the hot supermodels who love pci-e!

Clearly, you both missed the part when I recently said I don't pay for eve anymore

Anyway, my new computer is, at least to me, turning intoa running joke. I've been saying it since august, I spent monies in november, and i've still not got one, but that's half to do with my own lazyness

Out of curiosity, why don't you pay for Eve any more?

I got very very good at isk making, to the point of spending 400mil a month on timecodes doesn't bother me much.

Oh so that's why you get it free, I did wonder.

While now I appear to have more ISK than I can usefully spend, in my ISK-poor days I'd have been tempted to sell you timecodes at half that - or is that like not allowed or something?

Rather a grey area all this real money=virtual money stuff, and while it might be a useful thing for players with sufficient $s in one of those areas to exchange it for the other currency - even between games - I'm guessing it's rather a minefield of AU, EULAs and legality.

Apparently not - CCP even have a forum on Eve-O dedicated to selling time cards for isk.

I'm still AGP.

An unlocked 6800 GX.

I would upgrade the graphics card if I could, only I refuse to upgrade the CPU /MB/RAM combo when there isn't anything wrong with them, yet.

well if you are really craving a new video card, the Radeon HD 3850 is one of the best budget cards you can get. I'd still strongly recommend migrating to a PCI-Express setup though.

narf I'm having a bit of an anti-computers phase. I am enjoying doing RL things more. Otherwise I'd have upgraded a while back for sure.

I'm still CRT too!

I'm still deep in the pool of crap which is called AGP.

I'm still on CRT, and it serves my needs fine. Finding other things to be spending money on just now too, such as ski boots and holidays, and I've decided that since my current setup runs everything on max, there isn't actually any need to upgrade yet.
