My New Computer is NIIIIICE
So. Let's talk specs.
The only Motherboard on the market with USB3.0
A Quad-Core 3.4 GHz processor.
4 gigs of DDR3
A 400 gigabyte hard drive
A pretty dang good video card.
All of the above are well and good, but how do games play? Really well at max settings, that's how.
World of Warcraft:
In Shattrath City (one of the most deserted areas in the game) I was getting 30fps with Max settings. In Dalaran (the most croweded, overpopulated area in the game) I was getting 20-25fps with max settings on. It spiked up to 60fps at one point in Dalaran.
But idling in the cities is one thing, raiding is quite another. Well, if Sartharion 10 (0 Drakes up) is any indication, looks like I get about 60 fps in 10 man raids.
Oblivion:
Runs perfectly in Ultra-High settings.
Tommorow: I test KOTOR 2, and the big one, Mirror's Edge.

My Computer is a (Dead) Wizard
Soooo....
How about those computer things.
Alright, first things first, my new computer is really nice. Like top of the line nice. Once it starts working, it will be amazing, the fastest computer I've ever seen, top of the line gaming rig.
Unfortunately, I've had some um, minor setbacks. Namely, it powers on, but won't boot up.
But I've been making progress, and I can say with some confidence, that barring any more unforeseen setbacks it should be working by the end of week. (Note: Now that I've said that, it will take at least a month to get up and running.)
Unfortunately, my old computer is dead. As soon as we opened it up, the video card quit on us, the power supply said screw it, and the hard drive crashed. Which is a problem, since a lot of my comic-making resources, and a few writing projects I was working on in my spare time (There were 3 big ones, one about two people who woke up one day, and found everyone on earth had disappeared but them, one is a fantasy story taking place present day, and one is about an amusement park where you kill zombies.), were all on there. Hopefully we can get information off of them, my dad seems to think so anyways.
So yeah, here's hoping I can get my new computer up and running soon.
