[HLUG] Minty Freshness

[Morven Lewis-Everley]

I have a 9600 somewhere, and didn't used to have much problem with it.

You can pick an nvidia 7 series up for about £15 - £20 quid these days off
sites like micro direct and ebuyer. Barely worth using ebay (Plus you dont
have to worry about Paypals lack of service) :)
