  I'm stuck in a Dell

  I recently, per the suggestion of a friend, downloaded a new addon for WoW called Mob Map. After downloading it and then going into WoW to adjust the settings for the addon my computer decided to implode. I think what happened was that my poor excuse for a graphics card couldn't handle me stretching its limits any longer and faded away. So after trying without success to download new drivers for my card I took it up to this local guy to have him diagnose....prognosis new graphics card needed. I made the decision to put a 9 series monster, an upgrade from my 7 series Nvidia, into my computer. Unfortunately, my computers power supply couldn't handle the card and I was forced to go with an 8 series. I had also decided to put a couple extra gigs of RAM into my system, but for some reason it wouldn't recognize it. So I'm stuck in my Dell...for now. I figure it appears I have upgraded my current system to its full potential and will run it for another year and then make the big decision of what I want to upgrade to. So while Dell makes some nice systems, they are unfortunately difficult to upgrade so I will most likely not be a repeat customer.

  Back in the game.

  Well after weeks and weeks of issues with my computer I finally found the culprit.....my dad's router that I had setup a wireless router off of for my room. Something got into that router and corrupted it so that I wasn't able to update Windows or any spyware programs. It was also blocking certain things on the web and causing some adware problems as well. I am so glad to have my computer back up and running with all of my stuff (music and games) back on it and WoW is waiting for me to return. I know...I know it will take over my life, but I don't care I've gone without that obsession for too long.

  See you guys around.

  God Speed...my 360.

  Sorry that these blogs have been short and repetitive, but when your PS3 and your 360 both crap out at the same time there is little more to report than shipping updates. I sent my 360 back via the "coffin" that we have all, unfortunately, come to know and lov....hate. I hope to have it back soon, my xbl account misses me terrribly. But I do have my PS3 and MGS4 back at the tip of my fingers once again.

  ....just a note for all you Elite owners out there who might be tricked into thinking yours is a cut above the rest......there not. Mine was an Elite model too.
