gaming...

Well, since my better half gave me permission to put together a new machine, I have been turning my eyes square finished Doom3. Yes, yes I know please do not email telling me how much of a goof I am because I STILL have not finished Doom3. Part of the reason was due to my limited hardware on my 'old' gaming box which, in my defence is quite old. I have not done anything with it in almost three years. We all know 3 years in computer time is like 10 years in human span. It seems time dilation does exsist and computers and morse law are prime examples of that. But I digress...so, I put together this new machine. My first venture into Athlon, AMD 64 with...wait for it.......and ATI x800pro AGP with 256Mb.. Needless to say my Doom experience has greatly improved, my 1.6A P4 with a 64Mb vid card just didn't have the steam to keep me airborne. I stuck my old HD's from my workstation into it and put 1Gig of DDR ram into it and I am smoking!

I finished HL2 in oooo about a day and I am about 50% threw D3. Can't wait for S.T.A.L.K.E.R
