For me, life is busy as usual, but nothing new there. I hope to test out the UT2003 net protocol, and test for bugs and efficiency. Purely for the purposes of <em>education</em>...

I decided to go for the next video card up, which is the top ASUS Nvidia card. So I now have three places to go on Saturday. OK, so everything’s ordered, and will hopefully be ready this Saturday.

Now the thing is I can go for the same card and save $158, or I can go for the next card up (ASUS V9980Ultra TVD 256mb) and still save $16. Hmmm... DVD’s or a slightly faster card? Big decisions...

Good things come to those who wait, they say.

But yes, the same thing happened with my system *after* I bought it...but at least this way you won’t find one of the drives missing when you unpack it. As for wiring it together, well, this way they won’t complain about voided warrantee when you take a part in, so it should be worth it. I guess this means you won’t want an Acorn Emulator just yet then :P Oh, and I just noticed the comment numbers, very nice, that way I won’t make an out–by–one error again...

It’s now too late for me to change it for various reasons, but as I say, I knew it would happen. And I knew this would happen: today I see the video card I have ordered about $100 cheaper.

The monitor is holding things up, and it looks as though I’ll have to wait until Wednesday to get the CPU, mobo, RAM, keyb &mouse, speakers, and the monitor. That’s a shit. Anyway, I will probably still be able to pick up the other parts (video card, hard drive, cd–rw, dvd–rom) tomorrow, but the video card may hold things up there as well. Bugger. Bugger.
