Phew. Starr just got a new computer* (so that she can do some proper 3D rendering) that so completely emasculates mine in every way shape or form that my computer actually wraps back around to some kind of macho for trying to even compete.
Quad-core i7-920, with dual HD 5770 ATI graphics cards, 6 gigs of Ram to start with and blah blah blah etc. I'm sure at least one or two of you has better (maybe Brent or someone), but that's a whole lot more computer than was previously under this roof. The damn case has SEVEN fans - never mind the standard ones on the power supply, CPU, graphics cards, etc,.
So at least she can play TF2 now.
*Or, well, the parts for a new computer. Getting a functioning machine out of it is where every White Guy's Token Asian Friend comes in. Of course, in Toronto, 'token' is better applied to the white guy.
