Just curious what every1 uses, I currnetly use trackball & have heard that optical is better. I am thinking of switching to optical, but I am wondering if its a noticeable difference.

Do you have to move an optical around a smuch as trackball?, my wrist is freaking killing me lately...(yes it is from playing MOHAA)
Also, off the subject Epacy y do u like Nvidia as opposed to ATI. I am debating as to whehter I should dump my ATI card all together. This post has been edited by Panzer: 08/01/03 7:57pm -------------------- |

Nice AOBTC. Panzer-I know why you asked that question.
Nvidia has better driver support and having a Nvidia chipset on your mobo meshes better with Nvidia products. I have had my TI4600 for 1 year and 5 months and haven't had any problems. I don't hear the same about ATI's longevity. My roommate had an ATI card and experienced mad problems when trying to interface with his VIA chipset. Others have had the same board with Nvidia and have experienced none of those problems. In conclusion, Nvidia is more trouble free. -------------------- |

Optical.
I think they are the best because of how easy and smooth it is to move. A 5 button mouse helps a lot. MOHAA doesn't support the extra buttons, but you can use the MS mouse software and program the extra buttons to keystrokes. -------------------- Not a word was spoken to contradict or disagree with S@bot when he called me a....
bully, dictator, snide, hypocrite, arrogant, smartass and lets not forget, according to him the way I act is reprehensible. Yet, you're going to censor my signature because it's inappropriate and might hurt his little feelings??? Sorry. don't think so QUOTE Druid had my admiration and even though he has always come across as an arrogant, snide and very many times a smartass in posts and pm's S@bot aka Little Silver |

Thx. for feedback Epacy, that's what I was looking for was the trouble free part.
Guess I'll get me an optical mouse then, if I don't like it I can always return it. -------------------- |

Logitech Dual Optical.
As for the video card, I've had the ATI Radeon 9700 Pro since it was released.... no problems or compatibility problems yet. -------------------- |

Real I have a 9700 pro as well, except I had to rma it for service due to heat stress artifacting I was getting. I received a new card back yesterday that was worse then my original I sent in; prompting me to lose all faith in ATI's ability to put out a decent card, and provide satisfactory service. -------------------- |
