As you know I've been patiently saving up to get a decent gaming machine for years. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Very good. What's your RAM limit? Also, did you get a nice wide screen monitor with that?

August 25, 200619 yr Author All comments making me extremely happy at present. Apologies to that enormous flying lizard over there for posting in the wrong forum. :"> I guess I shall have to upgrade my RAM by the sound of things. Perhaps do some more contract irritations. But only when I get my next monitor. And yes, it is a nice widescreen 19" Really not bad for 130 quid. No dead pixies that I can see. Wait, you meant pixels? "It wasn't lies.

August 25, 200619 yr Wait, you have a 19" screen and you are going to trade it for a 24" one? Don't do it man, you'll regret it. Save the money, and spend it on upgrades a year from now.

August 30, 200619 yr Author The 19" is pretty good. But no DVI, which is damned cheek. But then I'm going to be switching it across to my work PC soon. I tried it out in that role yesterday and it was great. Really makes a difference to be able to read two documents side by side. For criticism, and for data entry/reports. I think I will go for a top'o' the line 20" monitor for my gaming rig. For the record the rig seems to handle civ 4 without breaking a sweat. Oblivion was manageable with only the faintest lag on the highest settings I could dream up. Nothing you'd notice coming from a cheaper PC like mine. But that's after only one night playing. Overall, I'd say I've managed to hit the sweet spot where price and performance match. Any more and I suspect the increases would tail off. Besides which, between all the games I have to catch up on, I'm going to be plenty busy before I need to upgrade! Thanks again for all your support, chaps. "It wasn't lies.
