I think I'll enter a one year course on how to build computers.
Meh. I know I can just learn it online, but it's cool to have material shit. Not everything virtual.

And ill have to say, im typing with steam web browser cuz 1gig of ram now. and its quite the card for its size.

With turbo cache its 512mb. and im using turbo. Running farcry 2 @ high with a playable frame rate. TF2 is hella smooth now, gmod has slightly lower fps but it will do.
