I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- Ned -

I'm shopping for a new computer...
(at least I'm in the thinking about it stage).
The equipment I have now won't handle the 3-D gaming that's becoming more popular. F'zample: While I can play Thief 1 & 2, I can't play Thief 3, or EVE or Second Life. In the past few years, war games have been featuring hundreds maybe thousands of little soldier guys fighting each other. I haven't bought one but I'm pretty sure they wouldn't work either.
What kinds of video card should I be considering?
What about amount of ram?
Computer speed?Comment

If moneys not a pressing problem as a rule of thumb go for the "second best" since the top stuff is too pricey by far. Going down a notch saves hundreds of $ with almost no loss in performance.I love being beaten by women - LorizaelComment
