WOOHOO! I'm worth something after all!

I agree, the online problem is a pain, but what else can you do? None of the stores in my area have anything comparable.

I recently bought a memory upgrade for my old computer through NewEgg. One of the sticks was bad, but they were very good about getting me a new set within a few days, so I have no complaints about them or their service.

Oh, and the deed is done - I placed my order. Thanks for your help.

And thanks to everybody else! At the risk of repeating myself...

Do consider the aspect ratio Steve! Mine is 16:10 and have problems with things like the wide screen mod in SH3, the images are squashed on the sides, this can be overcome with nvidia cards I believe but not with ATI cards, the widescreen mod is centered around 16:9 ratio monitors. Mine is a 24" wide monitor (Samsung 2433BW), great monitor other than the above problem.

Too late now.

Considering that the ultimate goal is to play SH5, I'm not too worried. And I still have my square 19" CRT.

I'd like to point out I'm not sure it's that one, hence the question mark.


At any rate, I hope it'll be to your liking.
