2GB RAM <$20 w/ free shipping.

I just ordered to upgrade the other PCs in the house, now all 4 Windows PCs will have 4gb!

2GB of pc6400 DDR2 RAM was in the $200+ range only two years ago. I think there was some sort of price fixing going on between IC manufacturers.

Ya - there have been so called 'shortages' - no shit one year about 10-12 back the only place they really mass produced memory in that period was in Japan. I swear, every time the unit price fell under $50 another "silicon factory fire" would drive it up over $150. Greedy bastards need to keep their hands off the 'supply and demand' cycles.

Memory prices have fallen almost as fast as gas prices Very Happy

Anyway, what's cheap is this - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150314

That or a similar card should run almost any modern game at a reasonable resolution. I've got a 9600GT (slightly overclocked by manufacturer) in my desktop PC and it renders all my games with their highest settings like a hot knife slices through butter.

Now if they'd just make one like it that I could shove in my laptop... Smile

Messy Recipe:  deleted all the last couple years worth of bots & managed to preserve the two real people that have posted since then xD

so many DELETED spam posts now tho that I think I'll need to automate cleaning those moreso than i already have

Messy Recipe:  sry about the bots :( been busy & havent gotten round to doing the usual cleanup

need to prolly stick this behind cloudflare or something

Drunken Monkey:  doing well, been building a hobby ranch of my own, got married, no kids, only dogs, sheep and a horse

Comradekil:  so anyway, i wonder how everyone's lives all progressed.. who's in jail? who's grandparents now.. ha life
Drunken Monkey:  and yes....i do miss 1942 aswell, i honestly think it is what drove me to get a M1 garand in real live, and is still my most used rifle
Drunken Monkey:  bots are getting silly
Comradekil:  Sup dudes
Messy Recipe:  the BAR-1918 always felt so good in that game
Messy Recipe:  I miss vanilla 1942 as much as Pirates... need to see if the Origin version (or even original) still has anyone playing sometime
Stealth:  Hello all! Head to the lounge and post a memory!
Stealth:  I saw a BF1942 fraps video of a guy jumping out of a plane and RPG'd another plane. I immediately came here for nostalgia. Miss you all.
Messy Recipe:  I've not tried Sea of Thieves... kinda was bummed to learn its servers don't allow many simultaneous players. gimme 32v32 galleon fights
Messy Recipe:  oh gosh I really need to automate the spambot removal instead of making myself do it by hand don't I -.-
Drunken Monkey:  merry Christmas you lot
[BB]Piccolo:  Anybody playing Sea of Thieves?
[BB]Piccolo:  I'm amazed I actually still knew my login. We Black Buccaneers certainly had a special relationship with you Cut Throats. Nothing like a fierce rivalry to make the battlefield exciting, eh? :)
