First off, thank's for the helpful advise, I'll try to upgrade 1 thing at a time so it's less costly.

Now I have 1 more question, if you don't mind...

Does creating another user in xp just for gaming and shutting everything off (virus, internet, background, etc) and optimize all I can help run these games better?

I have a question for all you fellow geeks out there, what's the deal with graphics lately?

I mean, I can play HL2 (all ep's), Portal, FEAR, COD4, BioShock and Far Cry and they look great and play great, no lag or skipping. And then I fire up Crysis or Time Shift and they look great (no real decernable graphic difference to me) but they play as slow as the release of Duke Nukem Forever!!!

Here's my system specs:

The Timeshift protagonist, I could then get the lottery numbers and go back in time to play them.

Or when I'm with my woman, at the right moment, back, replay, back........gigitty, gigitty )

I vote for Alyx Vance nude patch in HL:2 :)

When she climbs up that ladder, you can see "everything" :P

Orange Box was great, as to be expected, but same old stuff except for Portal..which was awsome!

Crysis was very, very good too, but been there, done that...not that different from any other (Far Cry).

So my vote would go to Call of Duty 4! The graphic effects (smoke, rocket trails and explosions), sounds and variety of missions with all the intense action, make this my favorite game of this year! IMHO

You are still alive.....and so is Glados :-)

She sings so good......still alive......

And you get the cake!!! Isn't that wonderful?

I smell a sequal..........;-)
