Upgrades, upgrades

Money itches alot. when you have extra money it itches so much. And in this age of plastic money, it's impossible to stop spending.. damn that itch.
On the recommendation of the EXCELLENT pc-zone (uk mag), I've bought 2 things for my main PC:
1\ XFX Geforce 6800 GT 256mbyte
check this beast at http://www.xfxforce.com/product_view.php?sku=PVT40AUD
why not ultra I hear you say? well cause ultra is £100 more and does 5 frames more. NOT WORTH IT if you ask me
2\ now this one I'm excited about. I finally caved in and decided to jump the CRT and go for the ever-sexy LCD monitor. Since the 16ms response time is affordable nowadays (essential for any gamer, anything more than 16ms and you get "ghost" images on screen), I decided to invest in another pc-zone recommendation: the viewsonic vp201s 20" LCD.
Check this beauty out at http://www.viewsoniceurope.com/UK/Products/LCDProf/VP201s.htm

Problem is, I still haven't received this stuff :( XFX reaches tomorrow I hope, and the monitor is due for Thursday.... half life 2 could never come at a better time!

Till later y'all.....
