Impressed by Microsoft Support

it's not as bad as it use to be.  I hope the xbox division takes note.  Since I got a new motherboard I had to re-activate Vista.  It was really easy.  I called support and he said to run a program and follow its directions.  It was pretty simple process, took about 5 minutes.  But then a couple days later the tech support guy emailed me asking if everything was working and resolved.  Cool.

Well, they decided to put Live support back in.

I think I will finally start looking at XNA.  I will start by making a multiplayer cribbage or eucre game.

I got an Elite

I recently received a holiday bonus from work.  I was surprised.  Last year we just got a $40 gift cert for a local restaurant chain.  This year we got a debit card with $200 on it.

I'm baaaaaack

I will be on the TF2 server more often now.  There is one minor problem with the MSI motherboard.  It has tons of LEDS on it so the case glows at the vents.

TF2 runs great, 80+ fps.  Ahhhhh. I was getting sick of 25fps.  I can not get the UT3 demo to run smoothly though, even after turning down textures and world detail.  COD4 looks good on PC, but it is the same as on 360.  Weird thing is I prefer it on the 360.  While I can snipe better on the PC it just feels like a console game.  Crysis demo tonight.

I am getting a new motherboard

I decided to not play this tech support phone tag with Asus.  I will be getting an MSI motherboard with the P35 chipset.  Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on how you look at it, it only supports DDR2 1066.  So I will be selling my DDR 800 sticks.  If anyone is interested PM me.  I will also sell my Asus P5K motherboard for dirt cheap.  I believe it all works except the network port.  If you are going to go wireless then that shouldn't bother you.  I would be willing to sell it all as a cheap package also.
