Make sure you watch the mini series of BG first, just in case you are new to it (which I very much doubt, but just in case). :)

The North American release of Season One comes with the miniseries, so no worries there. :) And I'm definitely not new to BSG, but it's so good to have it on DVD and the ability to watch it whenever I like now. :D

Sexy stats, Sam. A few queries, though... Why'd you go with AMD? The Intel line of quads is by and large still superior to anything AMD puts out and at pretty much the same price. And you got 4 GBs of RAM, but not an OS that can recognize all of it, why?

How'd the pricing for that turn out? Do you have the overall cost?

I like AMD and to be honest I'm not too worried about a few FPS' difference. With the cooler I'm probably going to be able to OC to ~3 Ghz, that'd be nice too. I thought about getting Vista 64, but I've tried Vista and I dislike it. RAM shouldn't be a problem anytime soon, anyway...

The overall pricing, including shipping and rebates, is ~ $1160.

Uhhggg...

 

Oh, and before I forget, two games I've bought over Steam recently:

 

PCBrothersinArmsRoadtoHill30.jpg

$10 - Really fun, even got the sequel from Goozex for $1 and 100 points, which is $5 in fake money.

$40 - Got a small discount, which fit perfectly for the sales tax... because of the stupid delay I paid for it in full and tried to then obtain it in a morally questionable way, sadly I screwed up with that and will have to still f*ckin wait. AAAARRRHHGGG!

tie needs 8 gigs of ram because he is a professional video editor and renders high def 3d animations while playing portal and listening to teddy bear music forgot about all that sry bro

 

I actually have two very cheap 1GB sticks of RAM with a 8800GT and a 6400+ AMD AM2 socket CPU inside of a refurbished Compaq tower that I bought over a year ago for under $400 - just replaced the RAM and CPU, and added a nice video card. Also, you should ask IG-64 about that kind of stuff with the editing and animation and shizzle... and don't dis Honest Bob, Bongo and I will both stomp your ass out. >:V
