Yeah I might look into it. For now I want to finish off Yuri's Revenge. I've beat all of Generals including the expansion packs. I might try my hand at Generals again with a harder CPU setting. Might be interesting. Not sure if the tower will be here tomorrow, last check said Wednesday.

Yeah I have Command & Conquer The First Decade. It really doesn't like to play on Windows 7 without a patch or two and even then I can't get the oldest games, made for Windows 95, to work. That's OK, my favs are Tiberian Sun, Red Alert 2, and Generals. Wonder what C&C 4 is like. I also play a few Facebook games. that's about it other than Monopoly, The Game Of Life, and a few other kids games the kid likes to play.

No no, you misunderstand. I'm very happy that I got the card, it is a better card than I have ever had. I was just pointing out that by today's standards it may be lacking. As if I care, it will better than this 8mb onboard Intel card i am using. Maybe it will be able to play Command & Conquer with no lagging issues. That would be sweet!

Yeah the graphics card has 256 MB of memory. Not much by today's standards i guess. :)

Well I'm used to a Pentium 4 at 3 Ghz, single core. We will see I guess. Never had a quad core processor. I'm expecting the new CPU to act just like this P4 with the ability to do more in the background, that's it. And I will only have 3 GB of RAM for now, I think I gave away one of my 1 GB sticks. :(

Yeah I got the disc on Uvah. Got it in last week. I just hope that key works. I don't like calling people! LOL The memory helped Jaroepz. In fact I am using it right now. Thanks!

Well at one time I had a Mac. And another time or two I had Windows 7 on a decent laptop. But yeah for the majority of my time here I have had XP even though it was on many different machines.

Well I have been keeping busy. Organizing my MP3 collection, and renaming a few eBook collections one by one. Need to organize my bookmarks. Just waiting. Hopefully everything gets here Monday, and everything works. Keeping my fingers crossed.

I use AVG. I have for years. I don't use MSE. Besides flunking tests, you can't turn off the auto-update feature. I don't like anything on my machine updating itself without approval. I have always stayed away from Norton after what Jafo told me about some years ago.

Whatever. Scanning everyday is overkill. Seriously. I only scan once a month with Malwarebytes and I come up clean. Why would I need to do it everyday? Waste of time and resources. I watch were I go on the net and what I download. So I don't really worry about malware.

How fast does 98 boot up on that machine Jafo? Seconds?

Last time I checked I don't give you any kind of trouble. This probably still stems from that big issue over at skinning.net with I was a moderator there. Either that or you have nothing better to do. I do my best to avoid you actually. I don't want to start any problems.

[quote who="ARESIV" reply="204" id="3318135"]First of all, I dislike your arrogance. Who are you?!?, to speak about MS future company policy like you would own it? You are in no position to support all the claims that you have made. [/quote] Oh look. Another newbie that doesn't know me or understand me. Try getting to know me before you say what you said. The conversation was between Jafo and I. I made my points, he made his. No sense in continuing the same old discussion.

I don't understand that comment WOM. Are you making fun of the situation? Why?
