Pertainin to the subject of where I've been...well that's non of ur business, lol, just playing. I just took a little break. I'll be on the forums but not really doing the whole blog thing. I hope you all would help me out every now and then when I have some questions and I will return the favor :). One question would be directed at the tv.com ppl and the other more towards the gamespot.com ppl but you all be free to reply to either if you wish :D.

1. I have seen parts of Rurouni Kenshin on television awhile back and now I want to watch it from start to end. I found a torrent file for the english dub and the Japanese sub. I was wondering if any of you have seen both or one of them and what your thoughts on them are. There are some anime's where the dub is pretty good such as Yu Yu Hakusho and DBZ, but there are others where it is pretty bad like Full Metal Alchemist and Naruto (IMO). So I wanted to know what you all thought of each. Thanks!

2. Im sure some of you remember my computer ordeal about a month ago. I got a kick ass computer with regads to the processor, RAM, Hard drive etc...all that except the stock Graphics Cards always sucks. So to play games of the last 2-2 1/2 years I need a much better card. Here is my situation:

I need to buy a graphics card but I'm a newb in that area. I know a decent amount about computers but have never bought a GPU before so I in need of assistance. I have done some research but it's still quite confusing.

First off my specs:
Processor: Q6600
Ram: 3 GB
HD: 500 GB
GPU: 8400 GS (yeah i know)

I. Does it matter which motherboard I have as to which card I can buy? If this does matter how do I find out what board I have?

II. Why isn't everyone buying ATI's HD 3850 (for example) over the price comparable 8800GTS? The 3850's core clock and memory clock are 150 Mhz and 400 Mhz faster. It even has more stream processors. So I assume their are other differences. I have heard ppl say that ATI has better AA (Anti-Aliasing) and AF and other ppl say that NVIDIA has better. What is the important stuff I need to know in regard to the two different companies and how much does that stuff matter? I just don't understandwhy ATI looks like a much better but people are still buying NVIDIA. I know it sounds like I have a vendetta againts NVIDIA, but I don't lol. I was gonna get NVIDA till I did some research and came across the relatively new HD 3850, which to me seems to pwn.

I know this was long but any help would be so greatly appreciated at this point. Anyone at a store just tries to sell you crap so i don't know who to turn to except my trusty mates her on tv/gamespot.com. Thanks guys! Later
