so i keep saying that i wont spend more money on my current PC, but two weeks ago i end up, somehow , upgrading more stuff, hehehe. its not a mayor upgrade but a new video card and a bigger and faster hard drive always help. I changed the old ASUS 6600gt for a XFX 8500gt. its a nice card but i think the drivers on my old ASUS where much better. the only complain that i have so far is that i cant use the tv-out on the card anymore to watch podcast, tv series and movies on my standard def tv, and that sucks! big time!.i cant find a s-video to rca cable that actually works! with the card and my tv doesnt have and s-video input so im "frak" (yes thats a Battlestar Galactica reference, im a fan) .now i have to do what i used to do like 4 years ago, watch them on my computer screen, at least until im able to buy a new TV ;-) with an s video input or perhaps a HDTV but being broke as i am thats gonna take a while. Also i changed the old 80 gb IDE hard drive for an 160 gb SATA drive for my primary disc and left the 80gb as a backup. i have to say its nice to have spare room on the hard drive specially i you want to install new games, that tends to take LOTS of space. now that i think about it ill try gears of war again maybe now i can play it because with the 6600gt it was unplayable.
