See stats below. Yeah. And they'll get better over time too. I'm scheming to have a total of 1.5 GB RAM. And the X800.

Quote:
AMD 64 3200+, 512MB DDR400, Radeon 9700 Pro, BOTH Windows 64 and Windows XP Pro SP2 (yeah, that's right, 2). Hell yeah.

Jedi do not fight for peace. That's only a slogan, and is as misleading as slogans always are. Jedi fight for civilization, because only civilization creates peace.
