New puter for me!

I'm taking my P3 450 and sticking it into my Linux box(currently a K6-2 500). I orderd a KT7 Raid mobo, a Taisol hs/fan and a 1GHz T-Bird! I can't believe how cheap this stuff has gotten. The cpu was only $189!

Well, it's not much comfort knowing that you'll be running at so high a res now that you'll be able to count the pimples on our faces as you drop sniper bullets into us

. Sweet rig though man...drop us a followup and give us some framerates.

yeah I haven't done any FPS counts in a while. I'm currently getting around 40-50 fps at 1024 with a v3 3000, p3 450, 256 mb ram, with all details full. I'll see what happens with the new rig.

Now maybe I'll be able to play CTF-Thorns without having to shoot at the multiple imaged players skipping across the screen.

I bought a new system this weekend too. Duron 800

It's giving me some problems though

But other than that it's pretty sweet. Nice to be able to turn my detail settings back up and have smooth performance in a firefight. w00t! Now I just gotta go order my 256MB of PC133. Now THAT stuff is super cheap online. ~90 bux for a 256 dimm. w00t!

GL with yer new system, Kokensu. May it go smoother than mine
