consider... 100 USD... will get me about 130~150 over here...

factory hardware stuff is cheaper over there.. however food and blankets, etc. are generally cheaper over here :)

well.. i was considering about the 7600 GT but i chose the 8500 GT as its only 150NZD... and its a 16 pipeline... not too bad. high end with shader model 3.0 if i wanna actually buy a game (ive been playing free games like gunz and played a cracked cs from time to time and play at internet cafes etc. but i genearlly like games)...

i was thinking of the x1900 from ati but thats 525!!

x1300 isnt too bad but not only is it about the same as the 8500 but its also a tad more expensive...

all the ATI cards are too expensive.

ATI= future proof, good cards that will alst you and be still good for a year or so.

Nvidia = better cards now, but not so futureproof.

so.

The guys that upgrade every year = Nvidia

Guys that keep a card for a while until they have to play a new game etc. = ATi

XD (i do photoshop too so yea.) however i really dont think that i need something better than the 8500 GT... its not bad and more than enough for my needs.

yes.. so if you had a direct flight from Indonesia to NZ, and a direct flight from the US to NZ, indonesia-NZ is closer.
