Well it's post's like this that can make V6K PWNers feel unpleasant
Quote:Thanks for the answers. I really had to know. I heard that there are people who are afraid to use their >1000$ cards; afraid that the cards might "die". If u ask me, a card that is no longer used is already "dead".
thereby I meant my post that it is nonsens that an unused card ain't a dead card that's pure Bollocks and it is like a curse in 3dfx land.
When a prototype is in perfect clean and unused condition it has a more value than a used one which may fail after a long term of use.
My Voodoo5 5000 AGP, 6000 AGP and Vel200 AGP all work flawlessly but it doesn't make them more worthy in value when in use , when in use the value may shatter just because of failure.
anyways what others do with thier gear it's all up to them ofcourse, that is not my concern nor dicission.
about the ferarri I'd sell it keep the Lada and buy a better car aka Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII FQ400 RS and use the EVO for the real stuff and use the Lada for fun stuff
the EV0 does from 0-100 kph in 3.5 secs
not bad for a 2.0 hay, the lada would do that in 17.6 secs lol 8)
Anyways like FalconFly said the Voodoo5 6000 has many small parts which can fail easily and most of those parts are extreemly difficult to replace.
