well i finished building my comp, and all is well....sorta....

i got the 8800GT on wed, and i started sorting thru bios from there. the first problem i encountered ended up being that i couldn't get my DVD-rom to detect, which scared me a little, but i solved it with the help of the PC hardware forum....so kudos to those who helped with that....

The next problem i encountered was the fact that i bought the wrong version of vista. I bought the Home premium upgrade as opposed to the normal home premium....i didn't understand the difference, i figured "upgrade" meant more features....not even close... because i didn't have a previous OS on my comp i couldn't enter my product code in, so i rendered the software i bought completly useless... so now i have to buy another product code for almost twice the original price.... thx mircosoft for not screwing me over big time :) ..... f@#kers... i ended up installing the "trial" version....which is kinda gay...

but other than that it's all good, it all runs cold, and quiet. and i wouldn't want it any other way....

Vista is awesome, it pretty much does everything i want it to, by it's self. i probaly won't ever go back to XP...

i downloaded the Cod4 demo, but i didn't have a chance to play....which makes me sad, but thats life... Other than all of that, building and installing went fine. and i'm happy with the end product.and thats all that matters :)

i'm picking up crysis tomorrow and i'll see how it performs on that.... and i'll get pics of my comp..... and screenshots....

and pin-ups....
