plus, it is difficult to be able to spare 50 bucks. thats why its nice of Larian to be giving out free copies of the game to people. we aren't all rich people. 50 bucks may be "pennies" to you, but to others, its 50 bucks. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/suspicion.gif" alt="" /> for me, for instance, thats saving up all the spare money i can get, and being really good for a month. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/suspicion.gif" alt="" />

You need to understand that not everyone here has finished studying and can get a full time job. Ahh, so I see I am dealing with a child. Kids and their anger these days. Stick with your 600 p3.. I had one 5 years ago : ). And dont think you're better than younger people only cause you can afford a better comp.

tsk. i let DEATHATTHEDOOR defend himself.
but go online, check out what a brand new, 9800, XT, 256 mb Ram costs. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> in my country the cheapest brand costs me the same as 20 copies of the new britney spears cd or 1 month rent <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> and the eek refers to the thought of actually buying a spears cd <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/suspicion.gif" alt="" /> I promise my next post will be on-topic again <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

"but go online, check out what a brand new, 9800, XT, 256 mb Ram costs"
This is silly... first of all.. 256 megs is overkill... and if I am saying a full blown computer with the support of dell, dvd drive, cd-r drive, 512 dual ram, 9800 Pro, with a 2.8 p4... costs six hundred dollars... Why would you waste money buying it separately? Because it is an xt over a pro? Would you rather a brand new computer with the above specs and a pro or 4/6 of the cost just for an xt alone...?
AGain, $50 for other things... then get ANOTHER $50... Back in highschool I made sure to get money for my birthday and the "holidays".. I used that money to fun my games for the year... And AGAIN, it really will be $35 after it drops to 40 dollars which usually takes a week or 2... and then take $5 off by using a gamer's gift card at Best buy! $35! Nothing! Chump change! One group trip to the movies!!!

really just let this discussion slide is my opinion.
some people need their money for other stuff, easy as that <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

and id rather have that OVERKILL graphics card then an OVERKILL processor. its all your opinion of what needs to happen. id rather graphics, and games, go smoothly with 256 ram, then have my aplications all run smoothly with a 2.8 (which actually isn't top of the line, or near it. near it is 3.2 or 3 ) besides, my graphics are sort of hurting (i guess) but my processor is fine 800mhz Duron.

Your logic does not make sense at all.. a top of the line graphics card is bottlenecked by a 3-4 year old processor like a 800 DURON.... So a 9800 xt would barely work better than a geforce 4 on your computer... So you think you should spend 300-400 on a 256 meg 9800 xt? Yeah, maybe you need to stay in school a liiitle longer... a 800 duron was worthless when it came out.. let alone 3-4 years after it came out.. It is equivalent to a celeron...
To consider blowing 400 on one card rather than spend 600 to get a brand new entire rig barely half a year old technology wise is simply incredibly flawed logic... If you can't understand that, then you can simply join the millions of Americans in credit card debt(their logic is flawed and if you don't like the comparison, eh.. )

You know, I'd explain my logic to you, but I'm afraid you wouldn't understand it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

I'll update old Betsy when I need to, not before. Oh, don't worry, I will stay in school a bit longer. More than you think <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> And how on earth will that make me join the millions of americans in credit card debt???

I know the comparison doesn't make much sense at face... The correlation is that people that have credit card debt use flawed logic to allow themselves into such a situation... The economy is supposedly in "recovery" yet the reason there is more spending is not because more money is coming in, but because the U.S. right now is borderline at an all time high for credit card debt... The reasoning behind using credit cards as a way of borrowing money is beyond idiotic because at 10+% is the worst way to borrow money... Best to ignore my "correlations" sometimes.

Also, your best best is to upgrade to a geforce 4 ti 4200 for 70 bucks which will improve your system... but after that your processor needs to be tripled... A 400 dollar card will do nothing more than that geforce 4..
