I just upgraded my computer and was introduced to a new world in TFC gaming. I'm honestly at a loss of words. Most of you probably have no idea what it's like to play at 3 fps. I guess I got accustomed to it and WHAM... my eyes are opened. One thing I'll have to get used to though is just how responsive the game is now. It's like being introduced to a whole new game, and I need to get the feel for it again.

So what did I do to my computer. Well here is a run down of the specs.

256 DDR RAM
20 GB HD 7200 RPM
1.4 GB AMD Duron
Nvidia TNT2

Plus I got a new keyboard (my old one's keys stuck), an optical mouse (one thing I'm definately not used to yet), and my cable connection seems to be getting better (for those of you who remember me complaining.)

Well, that's about all I got to say. It just blows my mind what I was missing out on.

Okay... one more thing. I am now [njk]VeilSide for those of you who don't know.

Don't get hooked man! I'm hooked on upgrading and I'm about to buy 2 AMD 1.9s this weekend and a geforce 4 and the ASUS duelboard so I can overlock the 2 1.9s! Someone stop me! Nooo not the etched window too and the extra fans! Lights! Oh no! When will it end!?

If I had the money I'd pick up another stick of 256 ram, but I don't.

One thing I have that none of you can beat: A blue power button. YES! That's right folks, a BLUE power button. Beat that eh? (I have a Sony Vaio, sweet lookin machine)

All you need is a blue LED behind your power button....

Well Looks like I'll be swinging in to my computer store tomorrow since one of my sticks of PC2100 256M RAM blew out just over an hour ago. God damn thing! Man I love 1 year warranties though !
