Hi Folks:
Well, to bring everyone to speed and answer the question "Where the #@!)(%$ have you been??!" I figured I'd say hi =)
Basically, I blew out a video card and sound card within days of each other, traveled for work so much that it's insane, and got nailed with a month-long ear infection.
so, after quite a few rounds of anti-biotics, travel slowing down (though work is still mega-busy) and $1.5k over the last several months to overhaul my PC, I AM BACK!
At the very least I'll be in WoW and on Vent, though I might reload SWG as well.
Tried Vanguard last night, man I have a kick-*butt* system now (except no dual-core proc yet, but it's still an AMD 3200!!) and the game still runs like liquid *butt*.
However, the attempt to build the box to Vanguard spec has created what I am sure will make WoW run like butter on a hot pan =)
See you all soon in-game(s)
