[zedman3d]

Im back! Haha.

I got me a new SATA Seagate 250GB Single Platter for my OS when i get a new PC, a Leadtek TV Tuner and about $1000.

 

[oldskool]

I live near Bangor.

I have an electric, only been playing a year so I suck.

:laughing: Keep at it ! I have been playing since '76 (that's why my name is oldskool )

I am originially from Milford, then lived in Bangor - couple places, Hammond Street was one of them.

So did you have a good Christmas ? My wife got me a gift card for Best Buy, I will probably get a motherboard to start off a new build from the ground up.

You should do that.. its been almost an hour since you posted that

 

[philbar71]

and i bought my self a G15 and i love it. it's amazing.

yes vern i am going to update it right now.

 

[veg1992]

Man.. its about time you got rid of that Pentium D.. thinking about how much that 9800GTX being bottlenecked by a Pentium D is sickening!

 

[philbar71]

ok siggy is fixed. i have had that pentium d about 1 year before i joined here. so that's like almost 3 years. games load a crap ton faster now. like there is no loading times in any of them. and they are alot smoother. with my pentium d it as smooth but choppy at times. and this G15 back lighting is nice too.

Now to see what sort of OC is possible with your chip.

I got another $150 for my parents for travel money.

This is good, because it made up for every thing else being ****** this year.
