[Renegade 13]

Brand new Nvidia 6600GT OC. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Man, my frame rate's gonna go way up with this baby http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

I have a normal Geforce 6600 and I love it. Nvidia makes excellent cards.

A friend of mine took his computer to univercity. It was loaded. One night while he was out with friends, it was stripped. Have fun at university Renegade.

Sometimes, I think you make these stories up AT... you are too much a magnet for bad luck! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif Everybody around you must wear long strings of clovers and horseshoes and such.

I want a new video card, to play TES:IV on.

I've got a GeForce4.

What is TES IV? ...
*uses Google*
Ah, "The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion"... looks like a great game! Seems very addictive, too! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

Which is why the door is always locked, no matter what.

Which is why burglars (and students, but that's all the same http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif ) carry crowbars and lockpicks. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif

If that happens, you can bet I'm gonna raise a little hell with the university (and hopefully make them pay for any losses http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif Though I doubt that would happen )

$50 laptop, guys.
Nobody wants to steal it, but you can still play SE4 and chat on the IRC channel during boring classes. And as a bonus, you'll get beefy Trogdor arms from carrying it around.

I just got a new laptop to replace my aging Compaq (comjunk?). It's an Hp zd8000 with a 3.0 processor, ATI 128mb card, wireless lan, XP home, and a 17" widescreen. I must say that processing turns is now much quicker in SE.

Comjunk? Compaq made great computers till HP got in there and started screwing things up. Wouldn't call the HP an upgrade...

To make up such stories would make mean that I am a great fabricator with tremendous creative skill. I am not. All I can do is post, if people do not wish to accept what I have say as truthful then so be it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/stupid.gif

Just get insurance to cover your butt. Things sometimes happen that are beyond your control. Students studing lock picking, fires, natural disasters, theft, etc. Best to cover your bases and your stuff.

Never understood why HP makes such poor computers. Their laser printers and industrial instrumentation products are excellent, and yet their computers aren't very good.
