[dr_bar]

I made an apple pie. I made a pot of beef stew. I watched the movie called The Replacements. (one of those feel good football movies)
I watched the snow out the window.

What card did you use? I bought a Geforce 7200 GS.

The cheapest one the computer store had that would play my game. The Geforce 6200. Coming from an ATI Radeon 9000 pro.

Wow I'm such a computer geek, I thought when people upgraded their cards to play games I think GeForce 8 and higher all running on a PCIe bus. I didn't think that card still existed in the market with the GeForce 7300 and 8200 all flooding the sub $80 market along with AGP based systems nearly phased out.

I buy cards that won't require upgrading for 3 of years or more, depending on what I can afford at the moment (mostly in the $180 - 220 range). I don't own any consoles since I game on the PC more, just in case anybody wonders why I spend a bit on video cards.

Thats just how us broke people roll.
I had the game for two months before I could scrounge up enough spare money to get a video card that will work for it. Hell, i was searching through the used video card bin at the pc store for something before I shelled out the $59 for a new one.

I ain't too proud to scrounge through old dodo for what I need.

Nothing wrong with scrounging for something you want. $60 is quite a bit for something that old, $60 could get you something with more power. I'm not too well to do, I cut back on a lot of going out (considering there's nowhere for me to go) and I work on my bike more so no need to use the shop until every 7000 miles or more. My PC is my do all so I splurge on that and it lasts for years.

I was trying to play with a Sempron, 2G system RAM, and the on-board nVidia 6150 chipset, and it just wasn't cutting it. The mb has a PCI-E but the power supply doesn't have any power connectors for a good video card. The 7200 card doesn't need the extra power connector and did increase my play enough that I was terrorizing a Spearhead server with awesome headshots again.

The PCIe video cards come with a Molex connector that converts it into a PCIe power connector. The reason why I upgrade my card is to play any game in the future. I play Call of Duty World at War on full settings giving me a nice visual and great frame rate for owning. Then there's the game Mass Effect and Fallout 3 that I play should I want a decent story. I find myself going back to Indigo Prophecy from time to time. I highly recommend it (game pad for certain segments) because it is a great story type game and doesn't need anything powerful.

for that price you woulda been better off spending $2 more and getting the 6800 like I have. Plays any game out there except crysis.

and back to origional topic I had to go into work today for $76/hr. Broke my heart to do it but someones got to......

[ofblong]

WTF they NEVER dropped off my motorcycle =[. I even kept the truck out of the garage so I could put it in the garage when they dropped it off

[Wrider]

Ofblong I vote you drive down and beat em with the tire irons they're bound to have laying around the shop!
That sucks!

Those mother fookers at Con Edison electric are overcharging me despite using just a few appliances ($140+). There's no way in hell I could run up that much. This is the 3rd time and there were times when it was at $60 and my power usage was pretty much the same. Hell I even don't bother turning on my lights, relying only lighting from the monitor well into the evening.

I think I have to invest in a Kill a Watt meter. What do you guys think?
