Project - DONE

[kyburg]

I've installed a Radeon 9200 video card in my PC, and life is thus good.

It works, it works perfectly - and I've already updated the drivers and I did it in one pass. Touch me, I'm golden.

Love it when something this simple, remains this simple.

Geek is me. Hooray!

Do you need another computer? I have most of the makings of one... it just needs a new mother board, new memory (or just use the 128MB that is there already), and a monitor.

I do not know what to do with it otherwise.

Hm. Go ask elfwench - she seems to be more inclined right now. And needs a pick me up, poor thing.

Me? No. Truthfully. I could use a new laptop, but I'm doing just fine without the extra gear right now. (But thanks for asking.)

Good choice and well done!!! :)

In case you are interested.

This guy rewrote the drivers, and I have found them to be better written with more features than the radeon ones...

Just thought you would like to know...

Man, this is working so well, I don't want to jinx it...but I'll take it under advisement!

*is jealous* A new vid card and more RAM are fighting for the #1 spot on the "next upgrade" list. Though, I'm tempted to just wait until I get a new mobo and case.

I did exceptionally well with eBay. $30, shipping included. Brand-new, and so far, nothing that wasn't handled with a driver upgrade. It works better than I could have hoped.

Gonna get Sims 2 for the PC now? :) Kidding.

Uh, got it for the PC. That, and all the expansion packs. Uh, that's what drove the new video card purchase. Without it, it was just about unplayable.

For some reason I was under the impression you just had the original for Mac. I don't know why.

I got profoundly irked that everything was for the PC, with all the expansion packs. That, and Jim couldn't play the game - so I got a second full install for it.

Then found out it lagged like whoa with the old video drivers. Hence, the new card.
