That's a very nice $5 worth, yah be a nice top end XP card without hacks and workarounds. I always love finding GPUs in box. especially cheap. Some thrift stores price retro parts and computers very cheap, and others over price them. Either way, I prefer looking for parts at the thrift stores …

I used to love watching Chris Stuckman movie reviews, but one day I couldnt stand him anymore and I …

I finished the 4 acts of Ultimate Doom and will be moving on to SIGIL I liked Sigil a lot more than the fourth episode of Ultimate Doom.
