You could say that, but I do short track speedskating in my spare time. And yes I'm single so I spoil myself from time to time. Haven't dated in about 3 years now after my old gf. So after I broke up I decided to concentrate and advance my career. I now work three jobs and last fall I was taking 24 units (I attend a university for academic BS classes and a community college for technical training) with 2 jobs and in the spring 20 units with 3 jobs.

haha. I have a speedskating camp with Susan Ellis (US Salt Lake City Olympics Head coach) next week for 5 days and in August I'm training for 7 days in Richmond, VA with the South Korean National Head Coach.

Sweet Card. I'm just now upgrading to a 7600GT.
Your rig >>> My rig.
Don't worry man. In time, you can work hard to get whatever you want. Just like me. I dont' know if you want to take 20 units and three jobs though....hahaha
$605 shipped three day select from Newegg. I live in CA and I didn't want to pay like $60 in taxes, so my good buddy in Wisconsin accepted my package and sent it back priority mail. I saved over $50 by doing that. In fact, if I make big purchased fron Newegg, I'm going to be doing the same thing.

Nice setup! Personally my 7600GT runs all the games I have perfectly (F.E.A.R., Rise of Nations, COD 2 ) at 1280x1024 res with high details. I stopped spending money on my PC. I bought a $100 PS2 slim and now I can get good cheap games without having to upgrade. I think I just grew out of it after college.
wow... never would think of blowing $600 on a video card.... ~$200 is the top I'm willing to go, especially when I'm saving up for a new car.
that card has more memory then my computer! my computer has 3 sticks of 256 that i need to replace with 3 sticks of 512...Originally posted by: ThaGrandCow
Your video card has as much memory as my computer
Awesome man!!! Congratulations!!!
say, do you think you could buy one of those for me? (only has a 7800GT )

(only has a 7800GT )Well, actually, I've never spent an entire $600 on a video card.
It all started with a 5900. At the time, it was $450. I bought it for $200 and it was a BFG model. That thing crapped out on me and I got warranty for it. Since they didn't have 5900s anymore, they send me a 6800GT instead to replace it. Then the 7800 GTXes came out and I sold my 6800GT for $300 and bought that card for $580 using the $300 to recycle that cost. Then the 7900 GTXes came out and I sold my old 7800 GTX for $300 and bought the new 7900 GTX for only $418! So that was only about $118 to upgrade. Now I got the 7950GX2 for $605 and the 7900 GTX is being sold for $380.
So all in all, I would never pay the full price...unless I want to go Quad SLI which I might do.
