    people on craigslist are so unreliable

    I don't know what it is but people on craigslist never hold up their end. I try to sell things, people say they're coming to pick it up, then they never show.

    and the opposite case, I'm trying to buy something and keep hammering their phone to get them to answer and get no response, after talking to them via email and them agreeing 'I'll be home all day, just call'

    this happen to other people? or are the people who live near me that inconsiderate:superconf

    I've never had a problem with buying stuff from people on Craigslist - probably depends on what you are trying to get. Most of my stuff I buy are for the home or tools.

    Wooh! F.E.A.R. will take a pretty capable card to get all the eye candy. Like any online "market" - ther e are people that do good business and those that do bad. Good luck on trying to get the card

    yeah the seller has disappeared, isn't answering emails or anything now, I dunno wtf to think.

    the card is an ati x800xt, not the newest, but it beats the integrated one I use now, should let me crank the settings up to atleast high

    edit, not an xt I guess, just the pro :(

    You should go down load a wardialer program that will call his phone number a thousand times in a row until he answers then it will set off an alarm so you can pick up the phone and talk to him :)

    the guy was... Mowing the Lawn! :D :lol

    gee, what do ya think a mower is made out of. the ipod had nothing to do with it, I'd say it was all mower that did the attracting, ipod just made a nice route to get to the mower

    Yeah the mower probably creates a crapload of static while its running too. I mean it has a magnito in it powering the spark system. I would think that would attract lightening more then a little iPod.

    yeah the one I got turned out to be an 800 pro 256. tried to bump it up to 800 xt 256 cause it's an instant 30% power boost, but no luck, can't unlock mine. maybe that'd be the solution for yours. you can get a 15-20% boost just from unlocking the extra 4 pipes, not much extra heat.
