Let the debates begin 2004-06-17 - By Dave Angelini

I am beginning to look into getting a new PC (current PC is 4 years old
Win98 and showing its age). For various reasons, I have narrowed down the
PC options such that only two choices are still left to me....one generic
and one specific choice.
Generic Choice: Compaq or HP?
Personally, I have had better luck with HP than Compaq, but since HP
purchased Compaq, is there still a meaningful difference anymore? The PC
lines in comparison are the Compaq Presario 8000T Series versus the HP
Pavillion A650Y.
Specific Choice: 256 Mb DDR ATI Radeon 9800 or the 256Mb DDR Nvidia GeForce
FX 5950 Ultra?
I have heard that Nvidia has lost some ground against ATI and that Nvidia
has played some games with its performance specs. But this is a choice a
comparison between an older Radeon to a newer Nvidia.
These are the choices....true I could look at other vendors, but I would not
be able to get the deals that I am currently offered....so again, these are
the choices.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave Angelini
