Well, it's working. Mostly.

New computer (aka Gray-Hermit) is set up. The old computer (Dark-Tower) is either going to be turned into little more then a repository for mp3s, or cleaned up and given away.

I have turned off that Aero crap (Oh look, it's Vista, but with the look and feel of Windows Classic), moved all my mp3s over, and gotten WoW and the Lich King beta reinstalled. I still need to put Photoshop, ImageReady, and Bryce back on here, but now I have the damn space to do so... 500 Gb hard drive is nice. Got my e-mail set back up, Firefox 3 installed (and a theme that doesn't look like ass), and mostly tweaked the way I want it.

Oh, and I've already checked. I can turn all the graphics in WoW up to full and it runs better that way then my old computer did. Hell, I could probably run City of Heroes during a Rikti Invasion and not have issues now. (Okay, probably still some issues. Rikti invasions thrash video cards like you wouldn't believe.)

Incidentally, what graphics card are you getting? 2GB on the card is bad-ass, but based on how smoothly WoW is running for me off of what I now have, it would be overkill for me. I'm just curious.

Also, out of curiosity, what game do you play that you need that for?

Nothing currently that 'needs' it. It is, however, what I can afford to get.
