Try ebay for the card, should come in a long way under $90
Tom
Only vaguely relevant I know, but I saw Dell had a computer for sale (no keyboard or monitor) for about $500. I can't see it on their website, but it was in a brochure that came with one of the newspapers.
It isn't all that flash (what do you expect for $500), but it might be of interest.

or with a 17(?) inch flat screen LCD monitor for 799. I didnt go for it but bought the 24inch widescreen flat panel display. . . . . . Dell has a very carefully thought through marketing strategy, which I discovered included: advertised sale price is actually higher than the price when you go online to check it - this accelerates buyer urgency. I got my new screen (for design work) for $1384 against the junk mail price of $1499 - no hidden extras.
I bought a Dell puter the other week. A great deal.
I rang to ask a question about the chipsets, and the operator offered to do me a better deal than on the internet. She ended up knocking another $150 off a $2000 computer - another 10% off is always welcome in my book!
Trav
sorry - forgot to add - I believe they stick to their deal dates, which in the junk mail ended on 30 september
..... or even 7.5 %

These have all been mentioned previously, but relate directly to Tiger's question.

Thanks, RufflyRustic, had a quick look but didn't see much that was free, will keep looking as some of these sites will keep me busy for hours;) .
i got the free version of my virtual home last night and loaded it onto my computer ,it ran all right but even i found it too cunfusing to use ,from what i saw you cant load yuor own floor plan ,there are virtually no suppliers or manufacturers to help you,this may be a cutting edge product but you would have thought that they would have at the very least arranged for suppliers to be listed from the start instead of no doubt signing up businesses after the release
I will let the cynic in my answer that part......Quote:

I just got myself a copy of this software after reading about it last night. Had to search the town though, everywhere sold out. If you are in Mackay - coles Mt Pleasant have a few.
Anyway as luck would happen I just bought a new Acer laptop this week, bottom of the range but still ... It tells me I do not have enough memory for this program.:mad:
I have 256MB
Not happy, I was looking forward to trying this.
Hi there,
We have the same problem with the freebie BH&G (Better Homes than Ours we call it) disc, and that's on a new 'puter. Well, when I say new, it was new to us...! The thing will play basic computer games, so the vid card will prolly stay just as it is, and the disc will appear as a drink coaster.
Back to colour swatches and walls that resemble a patchwork quilt:o
Cheers,

I might try it on my kid's computer, it has more memory I hope.
Seems to be very popular ... my guess is there will be a lot of dis-appointed people around if you have to have the absolute latest and greatest to use the CD.:rolleyes:

my guess is the same,i have been following this product for near on 2 years now ,without much success in getting any thing solid out of the promoters,these people have had a government grant of $2,000,000 to develop this product so far and i can not see why if it is to be a commercial product why should the taxpayer have to subsidise the making of it ,lets face it windows was given away free but the developers knew they had a good enough product to develop it and then give it away for free
Sorry guys but a lot of you sound like my mother.
Technology changes and changes quickly ..... if you want programs to do more then you need to have the hardware to run it. You cant expect a developer to release a cutting edge program that caters for stone age machines.
My mother keeps insisting that I fix her P1 with 32mb ram and that it should run like a race horse ..... I keep telling her to fork out $1000 and get something decent.
Sorry if it offends.
