Been running a TNT Pro 64 graphic card.
S'alright, 32mb jobbie.

But SR have a 64mb Sparkle Geoforce II64mb Nividia for £79.99.
And I got one tonight.

Oh lordy....sweet gaming heaven.
My old card was adequate, did a benchmark test and it came out at 800.
Did the same test on the new card?
2475.

3 times the speed and power.
All for less than £100.
You mentalist PC Owners really, really should get one if your not rocking a 64mb card.
The difference is stunning.
ALL my games on max detail with no slow-down at all.
And don't worry it's "Sparkle", it's still Nvidia.
It's still the shiniest, fastiest thing I've had in meh machine for yonks.

Now instead of playing games all night on the PC, I go to ma woman and play games all night.
Hur hur hur

Sigh. Get linux then.

They don't need to be that flexible because its perfection from the moment you buy any new range mac. Whats the point in improving on something which cannot be improved upon, and also which is so much better than any crap windows operated system.

Must..Resist..

How useful for all those people that could never need it. Nice to be able to customise and build your own machines from an infinite number of combinations of parts isn't it?..oh, sorry, Macs don't do flexibility..
