Re: Warcraft video card ?

I popped into my local PC shop to replace my CPU Fan and at the same time
I asked for a price of a 128M Nvidia card (essentially anything bigger
then my current 64M card).

He sold me a second hand 128M GeForce FX 5500 for $40, which I thought was
fair. I already had Nvidia drivers installed and was able to test it in
the shop.

Now I'm always going to go to him for second hand parts. The point of this
story... Get to know you local PC shop. Because if it breaks, just take
the whole thing down.
