• oooh shnap....

  Got a new computer yoh.
  well, I've had it for a few weeks now but I only got it all set up now....
  I got it a couple days before compUSA closed, it was $900 and a pretty sweet deal for what I got.
  The coolest thing would probably be the HD / BLU-Ray Player, dvd drive on it! so now i can watch Swordfish.... though... no HD-TV yet... so It's pretty useless right now. But hopefully, before the end of this year, I'll have one.
  It's also got a Quad Core processor. Chee hoo. hehe. 600gb Hard Drive (two 300gb's) that I raid-0'd together myself...  3 gigs or RAM, and it also has a TV tuner.
  Though the thing I'm really excited about is that I now have Windows VISTA. zohmygosh. haha. yeah, I know the general consensus states that Vista blows like the wind and that XP is where the party is at. But to me, I <3 it. for the first time I'm ahead of the curve on the new O.S. adoption. While everyone was on windows XP and you pretty much couldn't get a new version of any progam without having windows XP I was still stuck on stupid ol' Windows ME. I only got XP a little over a year ago, with my last computer. A few months before windows VISTA first came out..... I know it's sad, I pretty much skiped a whole O.S. that's how late I was on getting a XP system.... my XP computer even had one of those VISTA upgrade compatible stickers on it!

  well.... I don't have any time to give any more of an update of what's been going round lately. right round...
  gotta get up early in the morning for work...

  *EDIT: gosh. I can't believe I forgot to mention the graphics card.... you can just tell how out of the loop i've been  when it comes to computer games over the last few years.... cause my last few computers didn't even have graphics cards in them. Which is one of the big reasons why I would never play computer games.
  well anyways, this computer has a 512mb nvidia 8500 GT. It's an may be an "entree level" card. but It still gets the job done. I just got done playing CS: Source in all high settings and the highest resolution and I was getting 86 fps.
