www.dabs.co.uk, who's ordered stuff from them?

[Mailman]

Well I went and cancelled the dabs order because inspite of several emails nothing has happened. I took my business to aria and picked up a leadtech geforce 6800GT 256MB card! Cost a bit more but lets hope their customer support is a little bit better than dabs!

Mailman, why are you getting NVIDIA instead of ATI?

I always gone for NVIDIA from their first cards like Riva 128 (currently NVIDIA 4600 Ti), but next card is going to be ATI.

Originally the only ATI card I was going to look at was the 9800 but then it appeared that the geforce6600 shat all over that card. Then I saw the 6800GT AGP and didnt see anything comparable in price or performance from ATI.

I was under the impression that 6 series was not that great and ATI is still preferable. Have not upgraded for a while -- my NVIDIA 4600 Ti still plays games I like just fine, even FarCry and Half Life 2 worked fine, have not got much time for games anyway and prices for cards are just ridiculous -- I ain't spending £250-400 on a fecking graphics card.

I stopped using dabs years ago after having problems with them, e.g order not dispatched (*one* of the items wasnt in stock so they cancelled the whole order without even contacting me ) and they got the specs wrong on a laptop I was trying to order when I asked them a question about it so my couple of grand went elsewhere.

Linux support for ATI cards is tulipE!
