I just got a ton of computer compents in the mail and upgraded my system last night. I know have 4gb of RAM, a 750 watt power supply, a few new cooling fans, a range max plus wireless card and to top it all off a nvidia GeForce 9600gt graphics card with two DVI-I and a 7 pin s-video out puts. 3nodding

And the other thing, i was at walmart today buying some sun screen because i was going to be working outside and it was a bright day, wtf happened to SPF 30? most of the stuff they had there was like 50 and 75, i think i even saw 90. eek

Ah crap and can somebody move this? I could have sworn i was in chatterbox when i pressed create thread.

Yeah, I use SPF 75 and on really sunny hot days I use 90.

Two or three weeks ago I was outside shooting trap.
About two hours, sun burn.
Yeah that bad.

I saw SPF 5 or 15 or some shitting thing like that.
Apparently it's for people who can tan.

What memory size is the card?

I remember when I went to Disney Land with my sisters when I was 8. My oldest sister got a 2nd degree sunburn. I got some pretty bad 1st degree burns but I didn't even notice until someone pointed it out.

A high percentage of people that can tan must live in Arizona.

Find one pasty nerd that likes to fish and he'll tell you where to find spf 75+.

Yeah i was outside for that tea party protest a couple weeks ago for a few hours and got sunburnt. But the thing i don't get is i remember being told when i was little anything over SPF 30 is overkill for the average person and i'm looking at this stuff that is 75 going wtf?

Oh and the graphics card has half a gig of DDR3 ram built in.

Ah, mines got 512 as well.
I was looking for a 1gb card in the hope of making GTA4... or is it 5? run smoothly, but apparently it wont because it's a piss poor port.

GTA4 looks fun. I played a little of it on PS3. I'd like to get it for my computer but even the minimal settings might be too much. I also don't feel like spending $40 for it.

I'd wait.

I've got 3 1/2 gigs of ram, would have four but HP gave me 2 512mb sticks instead of 1 1gb stick, ******** tinheads.
AMD 64 dual core and, of course 512mb video card.
Not sure of the exact specs on the card but still, I should be able to play perfectly smooth on low, but nope!

It's poorly ported so it'll be a while before they plug the memory leaks and buff out the lag spikes with patches.
That is if they ever get around to patching.

Apparently there's a 'fix' for the stuttering, I'll try it out and let you know.
No promises, it's Windows after all.

Games for Windows LIVE is a haphazard retarded attempt of keeping games from being pirated, they should have used Steam, it's been used, proven, and now works a lot better.
Instead they have to come up with their own retarded a** thing that's buggy like steam was in the beginning.
Also it's Windows so it hogs resources.

Yeah I've already seen several GTA4 torrents. My computer is a pretty ok grade, but not good for intense gaming. I should have 2gb of ram but only have 1.75. I'm thinking one of them might be slightly damaged. 1.75 is pretty good for Win XP since I refuse to get Vista. I also have an Intel Dual with 2.2ghz per core. I have a built in vid card so it's nothing special.

Built in cards run off your ram.

Yeah, if you got Vista you'll need an extra Gig or two to get it running right.
A lot of tweeking later along with turning off UAC and Vista is pretty good.

Pale is the look these days?
I didn't know they had anything over SPF-50.
When I was 16 I got a really bad sun burn while swimming, I had one 3 inch X 8 inch blister on each of my upper arms, and slightly less intense on my neck and shoulders where the undershirt didn't cover.

Nice mods to your computer.
