Christmas stuffs
Ok, for Christmas I got some new computer parts. I'm loving my box now. Ok, so first off I got a new CPU cooler. It's a bit loud, but boy does it work. I also got to dabble with a new nVidia GeForce 8800 GT. It's made by EVGA, and I'm loving this thing. I downloaded the latest nVidia drivers, installed em from the CLI, and it worked. I'm getting some amazing results; nexuiz runs on ultimate settings at around 200 FPS. I'm very happy, now I don't have to fiddle with turning off compiz when I play a game. Lastly, I got a new mouse. It's a Diamondback 3G. Much more responsive then my old mouse, and I was able to map more compiz actions to the mouse buttons. I'm very happy on how that turned out. The last thing I got was a new hard drive. I copied my home partition from my existing disk to the new disk, edited fstab, and deleted the old partition. While doing that I found that I forgot to take the jumpers off; they were capping my drive at 1.5 Gb/s, now it's at 3.0 Gb/s, and I definitely notice the difference.
Unfortunately I could not get screenshots working in ET:QW (which looks amazing now, BTW), so here's a screenshot of nexuiz:
