# ^this
sadly enough my computer is so old I could only get an AGP compatible gfx card

So many games to play now, I'd been living several years in the past

# Generally something to be regarded as A Good Thing.
The games you've missed will be both cheap and classic now. The newer games aren't all that interesting anyway ._.

# you will no doubt
be getting Half Life 2.

Also go to ATI and download their latest drivers ( not to use,) just that they are giving away an option in the download files to get HL2 Lost Coast as a freebie.

# Lost Coast isn't worth it. It's just like a 5 minute level that's barely more than a tech demo.
You get Deathmatch free, too. Which is also godawful.

# ah right.
I've never played it. I'm not a big HL2 fan. More of a dungeoner or games like X3. Playing Dawn of Magic ( russian game, kind of Diablo for the 21st century ) at the moment and loving some hack and slash.

# ooh that's harsh
I remember the day I got my ATI 9800pro just for DX9.0 and did indeed rejoice. Until PCIe cards came out. I'm chasing pixel fill rates every 3-6 months now. Currently on twin XT1950's and am considering a DX10 card shortly.

# Balls to you.
My X850XT is starting to talk to me. It says things like "Woah, hey, I'm old. You want to play Fallout 3, right?" to which I go "That's not for over a year yet, spaz" and it goes "WOOAH UPGRADE ME ANYWAY"

# The new 8600 GTS
Is pretty good value for money, pixels to the pound-wise

# I'm afraid
I don't do Nvidia so I'm looking at an HD2900XT for an AMD dual core I will be building mid-week.

# Haven't seenone of them running yet,
but the reviews are pretty good,should be nice with the AMD chip, 6000+ perchance?!
(I helped save b3ta! loonybean giving as good as he gets since, Sun 8 Jul 2007, 1:05, archived)
# No I'm going with the
4200+ X2 simply because I picked one up with an SLI board and 2GB DDR800 for buttons in the loot.

# You can't complain at that,
Sounds lika a bargain, I can't really upgrade at the mo, got a bloody socket 939 mobo

*cries*

# Socket 939
is indeed the way to go as AM2 ( latest 64bit Athlon, Sempron and X2 chips ) will be around for a while I think

# The new barcelonas are out in October

# Thanks.
I need to post more often though, severe lack of hoummus, and the skillorz of a three week dead puffer fish!

# haha I'd actually
gotten an "ATI RadeonX 1950 Crossfire Edition"

But that needed a "slave"

I wouldve had to get a new motherboard altogether so I just returned the bitch and got myself something I could deal with.

# I've been
DirectX-less for several years.

As long as I can play Quake 3+, UT2K4 and Enemy Territory I'm happy.

A man of simple pleasures*, I am.
