errr I might not get a radeon9500/9700 :(

I just noticed you need a floppy connector to supply proper power to that card, problem is, if I do that, I wont be able to use my floppy drive! Not that I use it much but its still useful and I cant use both, man this is very disapointing now! Unless I can find a psu with two floppy connectors, those are the little white 4 pin things you stick in the floppy to power it and I have just one. Looks like I might either keep the ti4200 forever or hope they make a card like the 9600 pro which I think doesnt require any other power source

four pin molex to floppy connector, they even have the 'y's so you can expand.

now you have no excuses.

LOL!:D :D T'bird, now you'll have no excuse NOT to get it!;) :)

he still has an excuse. being that he has bought like 5 new vid cards in the past week, the funds may not be present.lol.:D

1st off You dont need a extra floppy line. The card comes with an adapter! 2nd if you care about your pc then you would get a decent power supply. just my 2 cents.

you need a floppy?

I was thinking the same thing Captain Iglo...:D

Another ridiculous thread.

"No 9700 for me cause I only have 1 floppy connector"

My god. There are so many different options to get around that, not the least of which is actually OWNING a proper PSU. Come on Tbird, you go from actually making some decent posts sometimes to posts such as these.

At times I think you are getting better, then I read another post like this. :confused:

Floppy drive... mmm... I think it was used for something once... I actually decided to remove my floppy drive this week. Physically. I haven't used it for ages!! Now, I save 1 W of power when my PC is on!! :D

LOL! :D TBird, please tell me you're joking!

why don't you wait till your 9700pro is 100$

they come with adapters if you get the retail package. Unless you get a nvidia 5600 ultra or higher, stick with the ati 9500 pro or 9700. Don't get the 9600 pro... the 9500 pro is faster.

even the oem comes with a splitter. -.-

Not when the 9600 Pro is OC'ed - then it beats the stock 9500 Pro.
