I just picked up a Tsionic Breeze case. Okay but the front fan mount is a little goofy.

I am looking forward to the New PPU units. Apparently they should be out before christmas and at a price of near 200 US. I guess new Tech has a premium price.

I got my copy of pariah for $39.99 canadian so I suppose that is a pretty good price. Now I just have to see how the game is.

As Per normal Pariah was not avalible. Neither was a replacement disc for Jedi Knight. Oh well not a lucky day for me...

Pariah is supposed to be avalible tomorrow. Maybe I will be able to find it in the local stores in the next month or so. Grr.

Hmm. This is supposed to have a very good physics fight model engine. I guess that is why I got it. We shall see what I think...

I turned off error reporting on XP and my system did not reboot during games at all last night and I played for over 6 hours. hehe.

I finally played through farcry... I thought the ending was a little unrewarding but then the graphics will make it worth starting again.

Well well well. Seems my system is finally stable. I replace the KM400 Via based chipset with a nforce 2 board Gigabyte GA-7n400s-l and all my problems are gone. I am now using prerelease drivers 76.50 with no problems at all. Cheers and happy upgrading.

Been having some issues with the Geforce 6600 GT from AOpen. Cannot load any drivers besides the AOpen ones. Swapped out for an MSI 6600 GT same problem but now I can only load MSI drivers.

Will try swaping the VIA K400 Chipset AOpen MB out for a Gigabyte nForce 2 board. Hopefully I will be able to use Drivers from NVidia's site after that. The goal is to be able to use Valance Studio Drivers. Right now I get bad textures in Windows when I try anything but the manufacteror's drivers.
