Okay, okay, it showed up about a week and a half ago, but Ive been busy. New computers seem always come with about a week and a half of work, setting up what progs/apps and games you want. Usually it happens that as soon as you get a new computer, you suddenly become aware of all these additional peripherals wou desperately need :).

 

So... I went out today and bought a new webcam, its a cheezy manual focus >40 dollar special. I bet you you cant guess wich pictures i recently added to my adventure collection are taken on my new cam :D

 

Tommorow Im planning to order a new GPU (Graphis Procsessor Unit, or something, for you non technicl people who arent visiting this blog anyway) as the Integrated Intel exreme graphics 2 card is an 82865G and doesnt support hardware transform and lighting, a feature required for the new series of Sam and Max games by telltale entertainment . Originally I was going to get the Nvidea GeForce FX 6200 pci card (Yes pci, unforunately I only have 3 standard pci slots, no pci-e or agp for expansion) but the card requires a 300w power supply. Okay, no prob, just chang the power supply, right, I mean... I have done it before, but I cant here as the Dell tech support guy said doing so would void my warranty. Additionaly, aperently Dell uses a proprietary power supply format, which would make upgrading the PCU very difficult. So Im settling for the Geforce fx 5500, basically the next step down, and a little more realistic for my system. My current 250w power supply fits the requirements to a T.

 

Anyways, this has officialy been my first Update from my house, sorry, Ill try to have something funnier next time
