Heyyo,
Heh, yeah, borrow a card off a bud. Me bud used to have a Rivia TNT2, I felt sorry for him, sold him my gf4 mx440 for like, $20, and bought a ATI Radeon 9600 PRO... Hey, I'mma nice guy, what can I say? ;)
Yeah, I notice that with new comps too. Usually they make them and adertise the great cpu, the good ram, and only murmur the crappy gf4 mx440 they give with it... HP does this with budget comps not newer ones, I'm sure compaq does too with almost all comps... Definately Dell does this with all comps, don't buy dell, or compaq. Get HP, or if possible, Falcon Computers... MMM, those Falcon computers are very nice. Or you can be uber-smart money saver, and just custom buiild your own comp, or pay a bud like, $10 to assemble you a good comp... make sure he knows what he's doing...
Me bud had someone else build him a comp... guy diddn't do that great of a job. Bought him a big cpu, but the videocard? hmm, I would've gone for a bigger one, and lower the cpu.. I tried to warn him that his bud knows how to build an office comp, not a gaming comp... but whatever, his comp's good for hosting fast listenservers at least for when it comes to lanparties. ;)
