Well, Wayde and I are both up and running with our new pc’s. Yay! My old system is downstairs in the basement serving as a place for storage and an extra gaming system. It still has XP on it (and it’ll probably stay that way) so we can Remote Desktop into it — we’re lazy and don’t want to have to walk downstairs if we need to. Ha!
Two things are left to do: Take back the crappy speakers I have and upgrade to the ones Wayde has. I got cheaper speakers and, man, does it ever sound different. When I first listened to them I was astounded by how crappy they sound. Wayde is also taking back the DVD player he got with his. It wouldn’t install his current favorite game from CD, even though the CD worked fine on other computers in the house. He took the DVDROM out of my old system so he’s taking back the new one and getting a plain ol’ CDROM to put in it’s place.
I got Morrowind for the PC with my video card. Woot! We have it for the X-Box and have recently got back into playing it (somehow we stopped around the time I got pregnant, but now that we’re at home more, it’s become our fave again). So I installed it on my PC just to check out how it played and see how my new vid card holds up….Dood. It rocks. I think I might just play it on my computer now.:) Of course, I still have my character on X-Box, but it’s not going anywhere. Sometimes I’m stuck in the basement with Brucie feeding or sleeping, so I can catch up on it then if I want.
I took a couple of screenshots from Morrowind during my test run. Here’s my new desktop.
K, I’ve got some playin’ to do before Bruce wakes up!
