I've been away for about a week.. just kinda doing other things. My new computer came on Wednesday, and I've been fighting Vista ever since. As it stands, just today I got my sound and microphone working.

Only downside is that I keep getting distracted by how freakin' shiny everything is now.

Soooo...freakin'....gorgeous.

So, this portion of the post is devoted to bragging about my new rig, which far outstrips the old one.

CASE: Antec Nine Hundred Ultimate Gamer 420W Case with Side Window

POWERSUPPLY: 635 Watts Power Supplies (Sigma Shark SP-635W PSU - SLI Ready)

MOTHERBOARD: Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe nForce 590 SLI MCP Chipset DDR2/800 MBoard w/ Dual 16x PCI-Express

CPU: AMD Athlon™64 X2 (3.2 GHz) 6400+ Black Edition Dual-Core CPU w/ HyperTransport Technology

FAN: CoolerMaster Liquid CPU Cooling System (Superior Cooling Performance + Extreme Silent at 20dba)

MEMORY: 2GB (2×1GB) PC6400 DDR2/800 Dual Channel Memory (Corsair XMS2 Xtreme Memory w/ Heat Spreader)

VIDEO: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512MB 16X PCI Express Video Card

CD: Sony Q170A 18x Double Layer Dual Format DVD+-R/+-RW + CD-R/RW Drive (BLACK COLOR)
CD2: SONY 16X DVD-ROM (BLACK COLOR)

HDD: Single Hard Drive (320GB SATA-II 3.0Gb/s 16MB Cache 7200RPM HDD)

KEYBOARD: Logitech Deluxe 104 PS/2 Keyboard (Black Color)
MOUSE: Logitech Optical Wheel Mouse (BLACK COLOR)

OS: Microsoft® Windows Vista™ Home Premium w/ Service Pack 1 (64-bit Edition)

WNC: PCI Wireless 802.11g 54Mbps Network Interface Card

For reference sake, before upgrading I had an Athlon XP 3200, Geforce 7600 GS, 1 GB of ram, blahblahblah.

Hope to see ya all in-game! :) *frag frag frag*

I would have gone with a 1Gps wired LAN, coz wireless is still too slow for my liking.

I'm pretty sure ur MOBO can support it

wireless is way to slow. I'm kinda stuck on it cause I don't have much money, and the cable company is small and not very reliable where I'm going to college. Impossible to play TF2 on weekdays(which is why people don't see me on on weekdays) In WoW my ping can be anywhere from 1100-12000(you want it around <120...) cause there's so many hicks on it on any given day.

Also on vista on my laptop. If you go into control panel, don't remember where else maybe user accounts, and turn off like administrative controls it really fixes some things(was getting asked if I wanted to open a program when i clicked on it) turned it off and ended all my internet problems on my vista.

I have a wired connection here at the house, but when I LAN up with my friends, we use a wireless router.

I've fixed all of my problems with vista (Clearly, since you were able to hear me speaking to you in-game. :D ) No networking issues, no sound issues.. Nada. I'm lovin' this thing.
