The Crytek Test

Ok, I finally had some time to sit down at my 4890 again and do some playing around with it to see if it really did finally resolve the problems I've had with both the 8800gtx I had in this machine and the 9800m I have in my gaming laptop.  I will give specs at the bottom of the blog of each machine so those of you interested will know exactly what I'm currently running.  These tests were with my desktop with the ATI 4890 installed and with my gaming laptop which has the 9800m installed.

Catching up to speed... up to today...

So before I tell you the latest problems I've had with my computer, let me catch you up to speed.

Built a computer a while back for around $340... A 7600 for around $130, a motherboard/cpu combo special for around $100, 1gb of memory for I'd guess around $50, bought a friends case for $60 (with power supply), friend gave me the cpu fan, borrowed the hard drive from work... had a monitor, had a cd burner.

Added 1gb of ram a few months later for I'd guess around $50 ($390).

Fan went out on my 7600 so I bought a custom fan for it, probably around $50 ($440)
