Zombie lol
Ely - hehe
WC - now you tell me dude!
PR - All I play anymore is UT2003 or Quake3 headhunters (Go Rorschach)
Z - Oxy & Lee - I may have upgraded to UT2004 but darn internet is still 28.8 unless I pay 50 a month for DSL.
Rooster - yo thx for tip - I am a mod/map/skin/model freak, I should load up about 500 meg worth of stuff by spring.
Qwest uses a channel device called a Conklin system, it bascially regulates between 8 to 12 lines on one card, thus knocking bandwidth down to 24.6, by tweaking my connections and Internet Exploder, I can peak to 28.8, even though my modem is a std v90 lucent internal pci modem. With tax Qwest is almost 50.00 - wireless providers exists but latency is so spotty not worth it.
Dukester - Awe Quake2 - how sweet, how I wish I still had it and my 275 plus maps!
ouch on the WoW addiction. If you ever are in need of some DM, I've got the server at home I can set up. (or we can meet somewhere with good ping for all...)
Phone lines themselves a local cable company offers same deal on cable modem, Qwest limits or the phone line is limited by capacity. T1 is out of the question or an FX line or dedicated circuit. Eventually DSL will come down and hoepfully I can convince Wifey to get it, I had 700.00 plus for a new pc but that all went to medical bills after I broke my arm. shrugs.....
PIII 500
geforce2
20 gig (okay, i just upgraded a while ago, so it's now 60 gig)
Read 'em and w... hey wait, i'm not cheapalert, why the fuck am i proud?
Amusingly enough it runs better than my parents' 3ghz. I gave up fixing that one.
MP I had a nice pc I bought from Employer 2.8 gig and when I installed my 9800 in it it failed to boot up, lucky it was under warranty and the dealer gave me a new mobo now gonna sell it on consignment for me, I guess I will start saving my pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters again. Phew.....
I got it today only three day shipping! Heya one question for you all. I am taking her home tonight to install, I noticed the game play disc, is their a patch or upgrade so I don't have to load the cd everytime I want to play a casual game or so I can play either at work or home? I am so excited about jumping out of my panties!

I can say I was doing pretty good with a 56k modem when I played online. 28 though.. jeez. Like someone says cant you at least get a a v2 56k?

At least I can start skinning again with UT2004.

Oh wait, you're on that 28.8k still, right? Then forget everything I just said, that's hundreds of megabytes.
