lol I upgraded my computer more after I left than I did while playing.

played fine the way it was, and got 110 frps or so. Cept for that last god awful map HT threw out there. Took like a 60 or 80 frps hit... wtf??? Anyhoot, who cares.

About a week after I left I bought AMD's FX-53 along with new MoBo, X800 ATI card and a gig of ram. Gave my old system to my GF. Well, the guts from the old system went in her case. Was nothing special, amd 3200+ with 512 ram and some other stuff that I wasnt going to use.

New box mods play AA like a dream come true. :)

Got rid of my stick(s). They were worn out anyways and were just collecting dust. Let them go at a good price. (free)

I really want to put a P4 box together. Just have to save up some more pennies first. 8)

I knew you'd go back to playing Devil. Not that its a bad thing, I just knew it from your quit/join patterns in the past. hehe :) I know you'll have fun tho. You better or you'll just end up leaving again. :D

Mobo, chip, and card went into my GFs case.

That way I'll have a decent puter to play on where ever I go. :D

P4's are nice. I really want to do a duel xenon set up when I put together a server. I've got the case, got the power suplies, HD's. But I have a long ways to go and alot more needed before I can start calling it a server. Going to be my winter project.

I thought you picked up another video card TW?

Hardware problems are most easily solved with a little bit of money. But yep, you have to explain that part to your wife. Luckily I'm not married... Yet.

Gameplay, can't be changed, it can only be delt with. Ignore the players and enjoy the game. Hard thing to do when the players make up the game. But its posible.

I had a Chaintech 5700 ultra that I lent my friend when he fried his OC'ing. Not completly sure what he did with it. I know he got a new one tho. If he still has it and didnt fry that one too I'll let u know. U can have it. It was a 128mb card. It might be a glob of melted plastic now tho. Not quite sure.

You'll have to haul your sorry can down here to get it tho. Buy me a drink. :)

I gotta old machine, barely good enough to fly AH2, but it don't take more than 1 FPS to know the 68's are good folk to fly with.

c,mon back Devil, and 68's.
I used to be a fatalist,
but that part of me died.
