HOORAY! HUZZAH! Congratulations Matress! It is good to see you got the computer  . Unfortunately, we still won't be able to play Armada because 1. Nvidia is incompatible with Armada and 2. TCP/IP only works only local networks. But still, I am glad that you are getting the computer. Now it shouldn't break down every time you turn it on  .  _________________We are the Borg. Prepare to be assimilated. Your creative distinctiveness will be added to our own. Your creative minds will adapt to service us. Resistance is, and always has been, humorous. May... now with expectedly warm weather!

Supremacy will look real nice in W7 and running on that system. _________________

Whadaz he mean Armada is incompatible with NVIDIA? Anyway, I'm so  excited  for you Matress. Now swap out that hard drive for an SSD. You won't believe the difference. You can get a 50 Gigabyte (enough for W7 and tons of programs) for $139 OCZ vertex 2. You'll thank me, I guarantee it. Now, I don't even have an I3  Watch out STO. Envious Bashir

As I just said in my Pm to you Bashir; Quote: I didn't bother with an SSD. I NEED a big hard drive, and in fact i'm planning to get a bigger secondary storage drive for it a few months down the line. God i've got soo much stuff I want to install on it. I'm a software hog hehe. ...I did splash out on the Graphics though. GTX 480 1536mb. As for the delivery date, there's a bit of a problem. I asked them to deliver it on Wednesday, totally forgetting i'm not here on Wednesday for half the day! I've sent them an email asking them to change it to Friday, but i've not had a reply yet. So i'm either getting it on Wednesday or Friday.  _________________"Anyone without a sense of humour is truly at the mercy of the rest of us."

I think someone posted "get a 50 "MEGABYTE" ssd. I lmao.  Think you mean gigabyte mate.  And np glad the site and comp is to ur liking. Plus its factory overclocked so u dont have to so u got a free boost thats as fast as a i7 (at stock). Btw armada is so able to play on win 7. Played it before infact i have armada 2 still on my hdd i just cant bring myself to uninstall it even tho i never play it or the modded install. And for multiplayer their is always Hamachi. I need a new hdd myself actually my 1.75tb storage is almost used up and sick of deleting things. Need a new 1tb drive sorted asap but alas money.

Skeeter, so glad to see you back. Do you like the Klingon adorned Pips? You're right mate, I corrected it to Gigabyte.  Bashir

Thanks.
Yeah they are nice. Tho whoevers doing the pips need to scale them down a bit as there too large.

We enlarged them so that Uhura's earpiece for the translators was recognizable (barely).

Plus we now have some emoticons in the admin ones (Like mine). Any smaller and the new pips just wouldn't be recognisable. We decided it was a worthwhile compromise.

Indeed they take a minor amount of time to get used to and then the smaller ones would look funny. Bashir
