Post by: tiesto on May 04, 2007, 02:46:46 PM
Well, my video card fucked up on me, so I ran down to Best Buy (I didn't have time to order off newegg :P) and picked up a Radeon X1550, it's 256mb AGP and supports DX10... the guy told me this was better for my needs than the 512mb that only supported DX9 (and was $30 more expensive)... how is that card? Also upgraded my RAM to 1.5gig (DDR only though). So now I should be able to run most of the PC games out on the market now... right? How many years in the future will this be good for, you think?

Picked up the Unreal Anthology, been meaning to get UT2k4 for a while and my friend borrowed my UT1 disk and never returned it. I was always a sucker for these games and I didn't even know they had a whole

Saw Titan Quest for $20... now everyone is playing the expansion, is the original game worth playing? What's it like... Diablo style action RPG I'd assume... I liked the graphics at least.

With that set up you shouldn't have to upgrade until late 2005, early 2006 if your lucky.

How does the expansion work, do you need to play through the whole game first, or could you just jump right into the expansion?
