I get server not found but thanks anyway, managed to find it in the meantime :) It would be a shame to start collecting them from the beginning.

This afternoon I get a new pc, funny too because exams start on Saturday :D I'll be sure to test it when they are over, there are a few games I'd like to check as bioshock and jade empire.
I, for one, am dying to find out what colour they paint Michael's toenails.

If you get something wrong with it you know who to call.

Apropo, new software and hardware (read games) are always coming in the time of exams, that's a rule! :D

Annoying isn't it. I got lucky with the release of H5 though, our exams were postponed :) It pays off to take the unreasonable choice once in a while.

Postponed for now, it has to be formatted and some important programs reinstalled. Being in my father's office I never took the time to check it out but I know it's about 3Ghz and 2mb Ram.

Oh... 2GB RAM... I wonder if NWN 2 will run much better if I added another 1GB RAM to my computer which currently have only 1GB. Or else, it's video card replacement time.

I want a new video card... :sad:

A RAM upgrade is definitely advisable. Chips are cheap nowadays, and if your existing chip is old, you might even go the full length and buy two 1Gb chips with higher speed than your old one, since any single new chip you buy will run at the same speed as the old one unless you take the old one out. Also remember to read my 'procedure article' here

RAM is cheap huh? guess you're not buying copious amounts of server RAM then!

I'm just buying 32GB of RAM for a new VM host we are getting (about $10k) and then the server is about $13k, plus a new 2 shelf NetApp SAN (maybe $80k)

glad it's not my money :D
