well i got the NVidia GeForce FX 5500 today and after about an hour of dicking around while hanging out with Larry and talking with Ryan on the phone i got it working, the bad news is Half-Life 2 is a fucking crazy ass big mofo of a game and my computer was like "oh man, you need more RAM like for real" and i was like, sweet jesus, so now i need to use the money i made from tips and Larry to buy a 512 mb DDR heat spreader stuck of RAM for $49.95 which for those who don't know is a hella good deal for no shipping and no tax fee's, like for instance this guy at the computer store in houghten lake wanted $70.00 for a 256 mb DDR no heat spreader stick of RAM and i was like....right...no...also i think i will buy a 80-120 Gig External Harddrive cause when i get hi speed wireless my 35 gig's left on the Internal will fill up quick...k, later, -nathan-
