Also GameCube uses a ATI video card which is a good choice for a video card.


The GOOD Choice for a video card is nVidia Which will be powering PS3. (I think)

I have been playing XBOX lately, and I will definetly sell it when I am done playing the games I have for it. XBOX has good graphics and the hard drive is a nice feature, but the XBOX has a few cons I will not miss. With the DVD drive, hard drive, and fan running, the XBOX is the noisiest out of the three consoles. I get disc read errors even though the disc is not scratched or damaged. I end up having to insert and eject the disc over and over or reboot the XBOX over and over just to get my game going. This kind of reminds me of the trouble of having to blow on my NES cartridges and the inside of the NES just to play an NES game. I keep my game systems unplugged to save on electricity. After being unplugged overnight, I had to set up the XBOX clock again. PS2 and GameCube never loose the time after being unplugged for weeks. Most important reason of all for why I decided to give up my XBOX is it does not have a lot of the kind of games I like.

Blowing NES cartridges, good times. Huff and puff, place them under shirt and puff away.

Have you put them in the refrigerator or use Q-tips to clean them? Odd, but it works.

Ummm, have you seen the benchmarks? With DX9, Nvidia was blown away in every single test. I believe the 9600XT even beat out the 5900. Nvidia kept claiming 'wait till new drivers', but that only gave a few more FPS. ATI is the way to go right now.

Here it is--the 9600 is a 9600Pro (not XT):

I've cleaned old NES cartidges using Q-tips before. I only use water because cleaning chemicals such as rubbing alchohol can damage the cartidge connectors.
