Topic: Bought a new video card.

I decided to go with the EVGA NVIDIA e-GeForce 9600 GSO since it was only 14 quid. It's not great, but it's better than the shite I'm currently stuck with.

Bought a new SSD

I decided to go with the Crucial m4 128 since it was only $160. It's really great, and it's years better than the shite I'm currently stuck with.

But it's not here yet. Fuck Labor Day weekend, srsly.

Nvidia Quadro 280 or something like that. Only has about 128MB of memory. Runs TF2 and Portal/Portal 2 okay, but not great.

Lol, nice. I want to get an SSD for caching on my PC, but it's not really important.

You're going to love it. SSDs are the future.

Yeah, SSDs are great for gaming. I just wish they weren't so expensive.

This one wasn't. Relatively.
128 are generally $200+ for quality. Got mine for $160 on a ShellShocker.

@206,840 (Ks !KansasxqvM)
Aw yeah.
And there was a firmware released the day I ordered that increases sustaineds by 20%+. It's going to be so nice.

They're kinda worth it if you're into gaming, its an instant performance boost. When I can free up some monies I'm going to build a rig, SSD or gtfo, hell external HDDs for storage are pretty cheap.
