Yeah it's tough loosing those you care about. Hang in there and remember the good times you had together. The pain will recede with time. Talk to your current friends and meet a therapist if you are still depressed. I've had to do that several times in my life. There are lots of friends out there if you look for them.

I am going to play Morrowind again for awhile I think. I will be a Bosmer soldier named Muhris who will slice his way across Vardenfell with a sword. Got to return to the roots again.

Morrowind for me.

Does a fredyzg normally metamorphosize into a Branimirzg when it has enough posts?

I've decided to keep the same PSU for now. I'll change it next time I buy a GPU. It's 2 years old but good quality and strong for a 560 W. SILVERSTONE ST56ZF 560W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Certified CrossFire Ready Active PFC Power Supply http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16817163111

This computer started out with a 430 W PSU. I put in the 560 W when I went to 2 x 7800 GXT in SLI. You're right though. If I don't get a bigger PSU now, I will end up installing another one eventually.

When I use those online PSU calculators, It seems my 560 W psu will be okay. What calculator do you think is most accurate?

I'm thinking of upgrading my CPU/Motherboard/RAM/OS Current system: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+ CPU (socket 939) Asus A8N-SLI Premium Mobo 2x1GB Kingston PC3200 DDR400 RAM EVGA GeForce 9800 GTX+ Creative X-Fi XtremeMusic SoundCard Silverstone Zeus 560W PSU Thermaltake Tsunami Mid-Tower Case WD Raptor HD CD and DVD drives Windows XP Home 32 bit Do these seem like decent choices?

seems like a dishonest way to get your antireligionist digs in stryfe23

Well it's good to have something better than the integrated graphics if you want to play Oblivion. I would start with medium settings and raise them up slowly if the performance is okay. You can probably upgrade the video card in the future if you ever want to. Welcome to the forums!

Good CPU and RAM with low-average graphics card. It will play Oblivion at medium settings. That 9400 is a big bottleneck. Get a better video card if this is a new system that you haven't actually bought yet.

Back then, everyone really ran and walked very strangely. You probably just don't remember.

Dragon Age: Origins comes out for the PC in a few months. It looks like it might be good.

That's like being asked what the worst ever book was and answering the Gutenberg Bible.
