Yessir Warhawk... "Navy Dude" doesn't sound quite as masculine as I had probably hoped for! Oh well... as long as the enemy doesn't tease me about it. That will just make me madder than a wet hen!!!

LOL

Shameless plug, I know.

Akula4745 · 04-01-09, 05:26 PM

Well???? Is the new PC here yet?

Son of Wisconsin · 04-01-09, 10:39 PM

YES SIR!!!

Oh. My. God.....so....fast.....

After I had windows updated and Norton installed and updated and restarted, installed SH4 and played first tutorial mission with all the graphics maxed out.

Computer didn't even break a sweat. Just amazing compared to my last machine's struggles with SH3.

I'm gonna go play a little more and then go to bed, another long day tomorrow, but good lord is this machine amazing. I took some pics of the unboxing/setup and i'll try to post them soon.

I am now a MAN.

Akula4745 · 04-01-09, 10:43 PM

Congrats my friend... it sounds as if you will enjoy it immensely!! I probably won't be too far behind you with a new system... (wink, wink).

Soundman · 04-02-09, 02:13 PM

Well.........................We're waiting to see how she runs. Hope your not still waiting on delivery !

AVGWarhawk · 04-02-09, 03:15 PM

He said he got it and well, he is now a MAN

Maybe he meant 'THE MAN'

Akula4745 · 04-02-09, 03:49 PM

Oh yeah... SoW got the new PC alright... why do you think we haven't heard from him? LOL

Soundman · 04-02-09, 03:51 PM

Yeah, he must be halfway to Honshu about now !

Akula4745 · 04-02-09, 03:55 PM

Lucky dawg with a new PC... looks like I will be ordering mine tonight. Then I will be waiting the two + weeks for delivery like SoW was. Oh well patience is a virtue, right?

Nope. He's playing in Real Time. He just cleared Pearl Harbor.

I am so jealous of SoW... I hope he is loving it! I just ordered my new machine tonight. I was definitely lured by running this game in all of its graphic glory.

Asus Rampage Formula Intel X48 Chipset
