A friend was visiting me the other day.. After asking to see my new build..He complained about how loud the machine was ( 431 psu )..He said... hmm i cant see a difference in the graphics... If i were u.. i would not have spent like 250 $ on a GeForce 4 Ti 4400..And this was said while viewing it on a NEC-Mitsubish 18.1 Flat Panel LCD monitor LOL.. @ 1024 x 768 @ a refresh rate of 75 ! lool

18,1" TFT. Cooool. With 1024x768 ??? Well, he has a GeForce 4 Ti 4400. Switch to 1280x1024 and you will see a difference. . .

Often people put things down just so you'll think they have a "knowledgeable" opinion. When you question them about specifics they stumble and dig themselves in deeper.
