tyggerjaiWords of advice for young players:
When your overclocking boss looks at your system and says "Dude! This chip, this motherboard, this RAM, they're a gamers *dream*, but this graphics card? I belittle your manhood! I refuse even to *bother* with 3dMark tests on this. Buy a *real* graphics card!", he's right. I went from a GeForce 2 MX 440 to an ATI Radeon 9600 XT, and Halo suddenly became a whole new game. Ditto Quake3. NWN is much the same but a hole lot purdier. I go now to play Homeworld 2 the way God and Morgan intended.

I'll be impressed if you can play Halo via aalib on a text terminal.
Actually... I think I'd be more scared than impressed.
