Computer update (because I'm that fucking bored)

Downloaded updated video card drivers for the first time in, oh.... two years? Maybe a little less? City of Heroes is running a little smoother now, but I can still only put the graphics on "maximum" inside of missions.

I still want to get a new computer, though. This one is not dying by any stretch of the imagination, but it's old. And it shows on the HD size (40 GB, which means that I regularly have to delete things I have discovered I no longer use to make room for new things I want to try), the processer speed (1.7 GHz, which isn't horrible, but I want more damnit), and the video card. Actually, I've replaced the video card twice since I got this computer. Once to upgrade to actually render things nicely in DAOC, and then again for World of Warcraft, neither of which I play any more.

Still, once that $600 check from Uncle Sugar gets in, I might be using that (and a few other bucks) to get a new computer... and turn this one into an MP3 jukebox or something.

Don't worry about it. I'm either going to go through Dell again (because they don't have retards working on their assembly line even if they do have a few on tech support), or get my brother to help me build one off of NewEgg or something like that.
