pasithea | Compromise (Reply)

So.. I've been thinking about upgrading my computer quite a lot the past few months but the truth of the matter is that while I slow it down a little bit when doing really complex stuff in Photoshop or Illustrator, it really doesn't slow down enough to justify an upgrade. Honestly, SecondLife has been the main drive for wanting a faster computer. The bottleneck on SL, of course isn't processor speed, it's video card. The laptop I was given from work has a Radeon 9800 w/128M RAM and it's considerably faster than my desktop, so... Obvious compromise! I bought a Radeon 9800 w/256M RAM for my desktop (The absolute most powerful video card produced for the G4s) This should be a good compromise. We'll see when it arrives. :) My current card is a GeForce 4 MX with 64M RAM so this is a pretty good step up.
