    I prefer PS to gimp, but I just bought the rig so I'm going to be in the red for a while.

    Good posts as usual mwhays, yeah I think I might do that for PS and rosetta stone, but man I did a runthrough of the cost of those language packs and they are clear over 3k for FR+GER+NOR+RUS+MND+ESP

    SOME GAMES ARE DONE!

    I've had a single core pentium4 1gig of ram 30gigHDD with geforce 6200 (and thats after upgrade this year) for the last several years.
    I have another week until school starts so some days and nights are totally free to game binge.

    This is how I feel:



    The tastiest of the ones I've tried are FO3 and blur, I'm considering buying a legit copy of blur for a friend of mine, either that or a discount one and buy a high quality USB controller. Anyone have any good experiences with controller purchases?

    Without Tcpoptimizer and a download accelerator, I would rage... everyday.

    Have you used anything like DAP (Download Accelerator Plus?)

    The Alienware controller I have is my favorite. It has very good build quality and is incredibly easy to set up in games. No drivers needed in XP or Win7. I *think* it is this one:

    I have not used one yet, but most people say the official Microsoft XBox 360/PC gamepad is the best way to go. I would be inclined to agree with that even though I havent used one because Windows7 has integrated support for it and the PC compatible controller is specifically designed for automatic integration.
