Bang, bang, bang, slap slap, screech, boom, boom.
Those are the noises emanating from the cave of the forty thieves who are building the computer and Balz's sumbie. Supposed to be ready tomorrow afternoon.

The specs: Win 7 home premium
NEO 800Core 2 Duo2GB/400
XFX video PCIE HD4350 1024MB DDR2
Kingston DDR 22GB 800 Mhz

18" monitor

I don't know if this is good or not. At the store they explained I had to have 2gb in one place and 2 GB in another, so the hoochie woochie could read all four GB.

The good news is that the dollar made a steep rise yesterday and this saved me nearly a hundred bucks.

I have a one GB internet connection is that enough to download SH3 and GWX?

Good Hunting!

Look forward to the first report when the depth charges start knocking off the paint chips on that new paint job.

I thought you had 22GB for a moment

1GB will do quite nicely....you even have a choice between the exe plus 7 bin files or the single file exe.

My advice would be to use the torrent links for the method of your choice from my FF account.

If you choose the 8 file method I'd still recommend you use my FF account because there have been a few reports recently suggesting potentialy corrupt files at the GWX website.

Yeah you may be right about that, I downloaded from the GWX site and had problems, so I just downloaded it elsewhere and it works fine. May have just been me though, who knows.

Make sure it's the 64-bit OS otherwise you'll miss out on some of that RAM and not be able to add more in the future!

Send me a pm with your p.o. box # and I'll send you a copy of SH3 that doesn't have Starforce is already patched to 1.4 and you don't have to leave it in dvd tray after install. And a dvd with jimbunas Gwx 3.0 files and SHCOMMANDER latest version.

Just call it a C.A.R.E. Package.

edit: I might even throw in one of Hitmans Great Whizwheels.

Just downloaded the 8 bin files and exe. No problems installing (Selected first set of links on GWX site).

When getting new hardware if software I calways expect a bad day.

Computer was ready early. Very suspicious. Got home, opened boxes. Keyboard, mouse speakers missing. Back to the shop, got the missing stuff.

Connected everyrhing. Nothing works. Two phone calls later: "Whu don't you plug the monitor to the new plug where the video card is installed?"

That worked, suspect sound is plugged in wrong hole.

As it got dark and scary, MS explorer demanded my Isp password. GRRRR
Tomorrow is another day.

I always knew getting into the Kriegsmarine was not easy. At least the computer boots up in a few seconds.
