New graphics card
Is this where you get your email?
Domain Name: IGNORE.NET Registrant: ignore n.o.c. (IGNORE8-DOM) Urs Schaufelberger Hardturmstr. 122 Zurich, NO STATE 8005 SWITZERLAND *** HAWK wrote: Hi, I am looking to buy a relatively cheap graphics card. My current Geforce 2mx-400 doesn't really cut the mustard and needs an upgrade. My budget is between £45-70. What card would people go far - I am not bothered with extras like TV-Out. Also which Manufacturer - ATI or Nvidia? Also prices would be helpful & any links to UK vendors only. Thanks |

Then stop using that domain name in your addy. Not only are you
appropriating someone else's property but they're getting spammed as a result.

Thanks OP: In other words, when munging your email address, be sure to pick a domain that isn't valid! Those are not the other words that I would use. It's not a good idea to use anything that even resembles a domain name, valid or not. Even a seemingly ridiculous domain name may/can/will be registered at some time. Try for yourself: make up some domain name and check here to see if it's registered: http://www.canufly.net/~georgegg/dns/ And adding NOSPAM or another phrase is not foolproof either. I wouldn't be at all surprised if a spambot stripped the word 'invalid' off your addy, for instance. snip |

erm.. graphics cards Well, get used to it. You may control the content of your original post, but you don't dictate the direction of the thread. If you'll take another look, you'll note that I was replying to Will Dormann about munging one's address. Your post was irrelevant to that reply. And as for your graphics card, you haven't said much about your requirements, making useful responses difficult. All I know is the Geforce "doesn't really cut the mustard," AGP and no TV out. What mustard needs cutting? Are you trying to look at spreadsheets on a 21" monitor, are you playing graphics intensive games, or what? Take a look here about some of the criteria that should go into the selection of a video card: http://www.pcguide.com/buy/des/compVideo-c.html Also useful is Tom's Hardwa http://www.tomshardware.com/graphic/index.html "SgtMinor" wrote in message .. .
