Srry, don't worry, every community has a doctor :D. It's weird so many guys(and umm.. girls)from here have surgeries. The only 2 times I've been in a hospital was when I broke my legs.

Never buy computers as a whole unless you're an absolute noob and don't know what those cards are doing. Buy them on parts(in my case it was an advantage when I bought it on parts back in 2007(spring, and in autumn I joined TWHL :D)- I have upgraded\added at least 4 parts).
As Luke said, I bet it's overheating. IF you'd be able to disassemble it now, you'll be... umm.. terrified by the amount of dust. My PC is clean even now, but I saw some extreme cases(where 'dust' isn't an appropriate word anymore, probably ...'mud').

I agree with srry, but my explanation is that it's a trick to convince people out there to learn some geography. It's a fun little game, and besides, if this is really true, you're doing a good thing.

Have a great time ! [EDIT] I just listened to some Paramore music on youtube. I like this kind of rock(when it comes to rock, I usually prefer "easy" genres, not "heavy" if you understand me :P).

Soup Miner, what photo is photoshopped? The panorama? I find it hard to believe, this stuff really happened and it's serious. Skals, this problem is already in the attention of EU. The area is currently being cleaned up, but it will take about a year to clean up all that sludge and "repair" the damages. And it will be costly too.

Whooooooooooooooooooooooups! Seems like somebody didn't brush his teeth xD.
Nah, kidding, damn cavities. I only had once a problem and had to go to the dentist, next time I went the dentist told me I have no more problems. I always feared dentists :\(I think pain in your teeth is the most annoying pain).

"this time"- what do you mean by that? They haven't released anything in the past(besides some crappy platformer but that doesn't count, it's the original Duke Nukem we're talking about).

I think I'm stuck on the first map(hlife_hotdog) as I can get that damn door to open at all. Are there any scripted_sequences or something like that? Probably that's why.... I guess( because I know sometimes monsters just won't appear).

Cool. You can probably donate your current system to one less fortunate fellow from TWHL ;).
I suggest you get a bluray drive instead of a dvd one. And you forgot an HDD(correct me if I'm wrong, I didn't see one), as SSDs are used more as boot-drives...

Unfortunately no, if you know something that does that please tell me. Even if it's not open-source, just tell me... I want to know(although I'd prefer an open-source alternative :D).

lol, you even have almost the same processor as mine(I don't think there are big differences anyway, mine is not "Celeron" but "Intel Pentium D", also 3,2 ghz :D)
For reference, I bought Ati Radeon HD4850. It works very well in most of the games(I can run Crysis on high details for example). Some games will run at a slower FPS(like GTA4), but not because of the video card, because of the processor(physics...). And as for mapping, don't worry, with the latest drivers everything works fine. Although mine has 512 mb(and for what games I'm playing it's really enough), I recommend you getting a 1gb one. Most of the new "open world"(huge maps) games will require more than 512 mb to run in high details. Be careful though, if you're not willing to pay too much money for a 1GB card, rather than purchasing a 1gb one that will have poor processing performance stick to a 512 version. It's better that way ;).

Well, the simplest way is by checking the video card's box(if you still have it). But I'm 100% sure it's PCIe because I had the same model (7600GS) and it was PCIe. For the CPU, just right click on My Computer and go to properties. It should specify the brand, model and speed.

LOL. Only now I realize what ATDestroy pointed out.
Btw skals, you can get a fairly good video card for about 100-150$. Don't get a very powerful one though because your CPU will be limiting it(that's what I'm noticing in GTA4 in my case).
That's great news to hear Rim.

It seems humanity is slowly loosing logic.
You don't scare me with that face.

Is your video card on PCI Express ?
