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*
