    I desperately want to replace my 64MB nvidia card in my dell inspiron with anything faster [ :(], which it seems the only solution is the 128MB DDR ATI's MOBILITY® RADEON™ 9600 PROTURBO - which costs $237 from the spare parts department of Dell... I'm definately not willing to spend that much [:0]... does anyone know of some place I can get it cheaper or of another videocard that will work? Thanks a million.[?]

    theres 6 days left on the bid and the current bidder has posted 6 cents...or you could assure you get it and pay 310, but i'd bid first, to get a super cheap price.

    wait on it until there are a few hours left, then start bidding. I wonder about the reserver price, though, that guy may have set it pretty high considering his "buy it now" value.

    * Inspiron 8600c * 1.8ghz Pentium M * 128 MB Radeon 9600 Pro Turbo * 2x512 MB DDR2700 SDRAM * 60GB 7200RPM HDD *

    Hopefully the Buy it now price is just his wishful thinking... [ :D] and hopefully the reserve isn't more than a hundred.
