New Graphics Card
There’s nothing like the smell of a fresh graphics card in the morning.
For quite a while now my AGP R9600Pro has been glitching to high-heaven. Usually whilst I’m trying to play some Need for Speed or Call of Duty. So eventually it died - and not even windows could start without some serious glitches. The remedy of course was to yank Sara’s 4MB PCI graphics card and use that. But having to occasionally wait for the screen to refresh when opening full-screen images and the total inability to watch full-screen movies got the better of me.
My dilema was that I wanted the greatest and best graphics card. Which meant PCI-E. Unfortunately my motherboard doesn’t have PCI-E - and to get a new motherboard meant new CPU and RAM too - ie. a completely new computer. I just couldn’t budget that at the moment.
So I just purchased an Nvidia 6600GT with 256MB of DDR3 RAM - I guess this will just have to do :P
