I know, this has nothing to do with Firefly or Serenity, but I don't care. I'm ranting.

So, I'm a gamer. Really heavy one at that. I've been using this same old computer for about 2 years now (AMD Athlon XP 2600+, ATi Radeon 9600 Pro, gig o' ram) and figured it was time for an upgrade after chugging through F.E.A.R.

So, I manage to get a new motherboard (nf4 Ultra Infinity), processor (AMD 64 3500+) but didn't have enough for a video card. So I wait til next paycheck.

HA! Had a fun one with that. Christmas and a powerful need to pay rent and, oh, I dunno, EAT prevented me from doing so, and I had to wait AGAIN.

So today, I FINALLY manage to scrounge up enough cash for my new video card (BFG's nVidia 7800 GT OC) and guess what? MY POWER SUPPLY CAN'T HANDLE THE NEW PROCESSOR OR VIDEO CARD!

MORE WAITING AROUND! MORE MONEY!
GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!

I almost cried when my newborn baby just kinda sputtered and gave me repeated CMOS errors. poooo

Oh, don't get me wrong, I loved F.E.A.R.

Just I was running it on my humble 9600, and when I went to a friend's house (He was running on ATi's new X1800 xT) it blew my freggin' mind. Not to mention a slew of games coming out soon that will just tear any older machine apart. (*cough* Enemy Territory: Quake Wars *cough*) And Spore. Spore will pwn
