so buying a new graphics card...

Post by CrinklyArse »

mainly because of Quake 4 and Bf2 and being fed up of not being able to play game demo's cos it craps out on me.
What do you recommend?
I'm probably gonna see if i can pick up a good nvidia from ebay but it never hurts to get some advice :)

It curdled, and then I couldn't drink it. So I mixed it with some water, and it was alright again.

I am now sick.
