It's Official

I need a new computer.  I downloaded the demo for F.E.A.R., which is supposed to be really good, but I couldn't play it.  It would run, but at about 6 fps, even at 800x600 with all the options turned off.  (I didn't try 640x480, I'm not a heathen, you know).  I had hoped that my patch job last summer of more RAM and a new video card would last me until I finished at UAH, but no such luck.  So now comes the long and involved process of learning about SATA, SLI, and a whole bunch of other new acronyms that have popped up since I last built a new system.

More on this as the story develops . . .
