I got an early Christmas gift this weekend in the form of a new computer...which was DESPERATELY needed. I'm embarrassed to share with you the specs of my old computer, knowing I was trying to run a website on it and edit photos.
Photo-wise, the big stuff for me is my 8gigs of RAM, GeForce GTS250 video card, and my 23" Acer monitor. This makes sites like Anet and JP an entirely different experience. I can see the faults in my photos now with my old monitor, which had a green cast over everything. I'm even enjoying my own photos much more! My old monitor made everything look different than reality. I'm almost relieved.
Also, this means I can now safely install and play Flight Simulator, and Flight Simulator X and a new Cyborg X joystick is also here with me.
I'm sorry if I sound like bragging, but I'm very excited. Some can attest to the near-tears moments during frustrating times on my old computer while waiting 8 seconds just because I clicked on a different window. If anyone wants to come over and play FSX or edit your pics, let me know!
If anyone knows an org or school I can donate my old computer to, please let me know. It's not too good but I figure someone could get something out of it.
