Is this an upgrade from what I have now?
A PSU has several rails with different voltages, one or more with 12 Volt. Your graphics card will draw a certain amount of power from that rail. You should find somewhere, how many Amp

Mask of the Betrayer Redux
nope, no spontaneous conversion - but as a spirit shaman is a sponaneous caster anyway, you just give him summon creature and/or heal-spells on level up, et voil

Pictures of your games
mask of the betrayer ftw! also, the graphics are smoother and more detailed at certain parts than nwn2 original. see this little guy's detailed face and skin: the picture lost some of its crispness because of jpg, but it should serve the purpose.

Yes, it is enough - if it has enough output on the 12V rails.

President Ahmadinejad's Speech at Columbia University
Why "if"? It's like "if the president of the US before (the current) Bush was named Clinton" - he's questioning a fact. Next: there are no european researchers in jail because of trying to analyze the gasing of jews from a different perspective - there are some demagogic neonazis in jail because they a) defend the inhumanity of Hitler's and some fascit's regimes as helpful b) say that all historic facts about that are only "facts" based on conspiracy (most likely lead by scheming jews). That man is provoking and nothing else. I can't believe he was allowed to speak in a University, probably even convincing students of his good intentions. He's using freedom of speech against the country defending it... Imo, freedom should end where it constricts the freedom of others - and Ahmedinejad does that in a most brutal way. Ahmedinejad could care less about what happens to Palestinian people - after all, they used to be outcasts, probably killed by the likes of Mr. Iranian President. It just serves his purpose of defending this people denied a safe place to live. Israel is no punishment for the Palestinian or whatever he implies here. I agree that the situation seems really bad in Israel - for every inhabitant. But there is no country named Palestine (and never was), so his talk about "palestinian muslims, jews and christians" referring to muslims, jews and christians living in Israel is nothing but a provocation again. Whatever he tries to achieve with his visit to the US, it can't be seen as anything but a proof of his two-faced-ness. I'm not quite sure why he's so eager for war, but his "apocalyptic beliefs" would be a reason... And it's not fair of comparing him to Bush - while Bush seems like a warmongering scarecrow filled with straw and little clue, Ahmedinejad seems like an warmongering, insane but still scheming, powerhungry, slippery and slimy individual up to mischief. I agree with much you've said, but have to intervene here: Hitler did not really cloak his motives. According to newspapers from the 1920ies I read a few days ago, people at that time were very nationalistic and antisemitic indeed, so they were ready, no, eager, to fight all those "lesser beings" in other countries and jews in their own country long before Hitler rose to power. He just made the majorities wishes come true, as was the case with the first world war.

[edit] Shryke: I heard that all things metal / gothic are a quite rare in new zealand. Someone from there visiting switzerland was really excited to be able to see mortiis and deathstars live here

7950 GX2 video card
Well then, pleased to meet you. I replaced my old GF 6800 GT with a x1950pro until I've saved enough money for a new PC. Did not regret it for one second, as it didn't cause any problems. Compared to the crappy update process of the nVidia-driver, where I always had to delete some registry entries and modifying some others before the new driver would let me install it... Well, the old card itself was very good, so were the GF 4400 and the GF 2 MX before it, but so is my "new" ATI. Plus, it has noticably increased image quality (and speed of course). 8600 wasn't recommended too enthusiastically (esp. if compared to its predecessors 6600 and 7600) by reviewers, as it is much slower than the higher end cards of its generation, and slower than the "performance" cards from the previous generations. The same is true for ATI's current mid-range cards. I'd currently not invest in those...

7950 GX2 video card
yeah, better ati as a whole brand of gfx cards... anyway, it's not the newest thing, but if you get it cheap and don't worry about the power consumption of a sli-setup, and have a compatible mainboard: go get it

Un-Ravel-ling Torment.
Thank you, that was very interesting There currently is a lot of new background-information surfacing on both of the game and on its creation process. Besides the great interview and material provided by you and Colin McComb on RPGWatch, there is one with Guido Henkel as well (producer). He obviously hated being a producer, having to tell people what they were doing wrong or not fast enough, or even fire them, and being squashed between Interplay's Management and the team on Torment - especially, since the game was the best, most beatuiful and interesting one he's worked on.

Off for a soldier
Don't use such reasoning, please... It's a) certain not to be always true b) actually good to know war only from film c) probable that not many people having survived a war are able to express that in music. Anyway, I'm glad that you have had success in what you wanted

Pictures of your games
I thought I posted an image yesterday, but it got deleted with all those bokishi's nda-problematiques It's probably not the best combination, playing Nosferatu and working for the anarchs, but my little PC-upgrade let me play the game on 1280x1024 with HQ 4xAAA and 8xAnisotropic Filtering (Full Trilinear), so I had to try something new (that would be no news if my last post still existed ). vampire bloodlines
