I'm not going to be on the computer for a while.

This card was powerful enough to play Sims 3.

I spent all MY money on it. 109$ (I'm only 15, and I don't have a job, so that's alot of money to me)

*weeps at how stupid i am*

I check the innards of my computer beforehand, and it looked conpatible.

I was wrong.

I'm going to sleep.

I've never been so dissapointed.

My mom may buy me a new desktop with PCI-e slots (only about 560$).

Next payday, of course.

I don't wanna.
I've waited forever for it.
FOREVER.
And all the ones that fit mine, are all NOS and MAYBES on the Graphic Card Recommendations.

Eh, I don't think I'll get it until they make it better, maybe with EP's or something. I would want the rabbit holes to open up, more options in build mode, and I'll wait for the modders to come up with a system to make custom packages.

Actually, TSR (ugh!) produced a mesh importer. Which they'll probably ban us from using. Most likely, it won't work though, considering half of all TSR's stuff is stolen Meshes.
