Got home today to fix my 128MB Radeon 9800 Pro's noisy fan problem. Tried for the 3,435th time to get my labtop to get online so I can get instructions how to get the bastard off. Well, for once the labtop actually worked online and currently is as you see. I fixed the fan and went to reinstall the Radeon but busted off one of the coil-wrapped thingies on it. That's a possible ~$200 down the fucking drain. Now im stuck on this old Pentium II 300 mhz labtop and no way in hell is it gonna play Neocron. Fucking thing can't even play a son of a fucking bitch video unless it's at 10x10 or something like that, which is kinda dumb considering it has a DVD drive in it (suprised this old thing had it at all). Oh yea. It hates microphones.
Now you sunvabitches send me $2000 dollars so I can overhaul my system to dual PCI-E X850s with a new mobo and a AMD 64 4000+ with 4 gigs of memory. That or fucking hope I can get a shop teacher at school to solder that thing back on. Figures that I get this labtop to work for once online and my main machine's video card goes boomie.
Don't it figure?

You lil' bastards are going to go "Oh fucking hell......" The video card is just fine but the heatsink/fan is kinda busted. So that gave me the excuse to overhaul my system. I just bought a Athlon XP 3200+, 1.5 (3 sticks of 512MB) of PC-3200 Corsair ram, Zalman cooler for the Radeon 9800 Pro and some Arctic Silver 5. Got rid of the bottlenecks of my system and now I may just play NC2 without seeing that memory counter going down worse then a 5 cent whore and worry about when to quit. Oh yea, only cost $350.62 and included a Newegg shirt! Now i'm uberized, not that I wasn't before, fucking whores.
