I spent $200 on a new video card back in March. But it wasn't to play AH2 on, I did it because I usually do that every other year anyhow and it was just "time". In September I'm doing the MB/proc upgrade 'cause my current one is almost 3-years old.

I didn't spend anything to get AHII to run on my AMD XP1800.
I just DLed the Omega Drivers for my laptop, and now it runs there too.

I might add some RAM (256 megs is getting a bit old lol), but that has more to do with photo-editing than AHII.

it's hard to call a periodic expense "damage".

Let's see...I sent back my dead bfg asylumn TI-4200 and they sent me a new FX 5900xt.  So 0.00 for a new video card.(and yes, it was truly dead, and they do offer a "lifetime replacement")
Found a Nforce2 motherboard on ebay for 35.00 shipped.
New Crucial 2700 cl2.5 DDR memory was my most costly item, two 256mb sticks on ebay ran 60.00 shipped.
I'm out $95.00, but it was time to upgrade.  A new cpu will be next, but it can wait for awhile.  My Athlon 1800+ throughbred is rock stable at a fsb of 170 with a loaded temperture of 46 c and a multiplier of 12.5.  A new 3200+ is next, but i'm not in a hurry.

The only good use for a dell is a weight to hold the bottom of the trash bag down.

I have their laptop tho (The only dell I ever bought, after all the media bays were filled and all the other crap was in it, it cost well over 2400 buck. I will never do that again. And it was one of the biggest wastes of money I have ever been through.

A few family members have dells, even after I showed them what they can do making their own system. They hate them now along with me. Customer service sucks to put it best. If you can even understand what the tech dude is saying. (You are calling India)

It was my video card that set me over the $2000 mark. When I was finnaly able to get the GeForce 6800 256mb card (Most are still on back order or not in stock at all) I was looking at another 570 dollars. I was fine with the one I had but my friends was better than the one I had, and you know I couldnt allow that to be. I had to have the best. :rolleyes:
