Re: Small Talk
Well, I can definetly get an extra gig of RAM with the $200 left over. I'll shop around a bit to see if I can get a better price on it though. A friend of my mother's is a computer programmer, so I'll probably ask him about it. I suppose I'll hold off on the graphics for a while, though. Honestly, I don't have Heroes 5 or Civ 4 yet, I was just wondering if they would run when I do decide to get them. Thanks a bunch for the tips LP.
Edit: Found a better one in the store that was on clearance, so it was the same price. Pretty much the same with an Intel Celeron processor and 20 more gigs of Hard Drive space. I'm still probably gonna get the 1GB RAM upgrade from CompUSA (found it for $50 instead of $70). If I'm lucky, I'll have enough to buy a Nintendo DS too.
Zanka, when the hell are you gonna get your turn in?

Re: Small Talk
Zakna has staled the last couple turns anyways, so its a safe bet that he won't. In fact, if I hadn't held everything up, he would have staled for half the game now.

Re: Small Talk
Nintendo DS is nice. If you're geeky enough, you can install Linux on it. If you're just interested in using it as game platform (as I am), there's a nice selection of games targeting all- scratch that- most audiences. Castlevania is wonderful - esp. since the DS games continue the proven 2D gameplay.
If you find a place that can customize your laptop, that can be really worth it (esp. if you do the research). Nvidia/ATI integrated graphics don't really add much to the cost of a machine - maybe 5 or 10 dollars compared to the practical minimum of $100 for a discrete graphics _card_.

Re: Small Talk
I think I'll stick with what I've found for now. The only place I know where you can customize your laptop is Dell. I don't think I'll have enough money for that though. Their sales and rebates and all just confuse the hell out of me.

Re: Small Talk
Staled more than one turn? Perhaps it is time to set him on AI then...

Re: Small Talk
Brain hurts! Peace! War! Which one? All this trouble thinking must be due to the cold scale it seems I took on during winter. Yowch. Brain freeze.
