Oh jeez. Fuck that salesman. :( That's an awful thing to do to a kid. Money comes so hard at that age.

I had a self build and a decent CRT at the time so scaling wasn't an issue but I remember how horrible it was in those days on LCDs. It actually put me off moving from the CRT for a long time.

I definitely overclocked that card and it was really good for that even on the stock cooler but I do vaguely remember it struggling with HL2. I can't remember what CPU I had so that could have been the bottleneck.
