Don't worry, it's pov.off-topic. It's not like it matters if you meander.
In other news, I just got a new graphics card. Why? Because it has VGA
out. Because my LCD monitor flickered intermittently with the only-DVI
that the card that came with this computer had.
Now have a GeForce 8500 GT with 1024 MB VRAM. Cost: $150
Vista's Windows Experience Score comparison:
old new
Processor: 5.9 5.9
Memory: 5.4 5.5 (guess the video RAM helped overall)
Graphics: 3.7 4.4
Gaming: 3.3 5.1
Primary HD: 5.8 5.8
And all I cared about was the ability to run my display at 1600x1200
again. Oh well, at least I should be able to run the Crysis demo at
more than 1 FPS...
And I tried Hardy Heron. Cute and all, visibly faster than Windows (but
then, Windows is visibly faster when you have a clean install, too...and
even when it's not, it's still faster than I fan physically react to my
perceptions) but Windows works just fine, is set up the way I want, why
bother switching to something else? I might drop it on my laptop for
playing with, but other than that...*shrug*
