State of the Thistle (and WoW)

[thistlechaser]

I know I owe people a ton of comment replies. Life is crazy for this week, but I'll get to them ASAP. Sorry for being a poor LJ friend! It's things outside of my control, alas.

WoW is AMAZING with max graphic settings. (Achi, I can even do max shadows with no problem at all.) It's like a different game. Metals have multiple shades of colors! And flying on a rental mount is a totally new experience -- the ground below is so utterly detailed! All with zero lag! I'm finally happy with my new computer. :P

Zoom! <3 everyone!

I know this is probably going to be interesting but, what are the technical specs of your computer? I need to get some more RAM now that I'm 64-bit though...

Ha ha! There's no 'my computer' icon on my desktop, usually I'd check the properties of it to find out, but I found it elsewhere!

Alas I can't copy and paste from that window.

Processor: AMD Phenom II x4 810 Processor 2.60 GHz

Video card is a Radeon HD 5770

If you'd like to know something else, just tell me where in 7 to find it! :)

Usually if I want to find out my system info I just throw "dxdiag" into the "search programs and files" thing on the bottom of your start menu. Will come up with all sorts of stuff. That graphics card is teh sexy though...although I tend to avoid Radeon like the plague (bad experiences with their stuff).

Just to elaborate a bit on Vel's comment. I strongly recommend running DXdiag and then selecting the "Save all information" option to save the PC information as a text file. Typically, I save it on my desktop so that it is easily available. The DXdiag file is also useful when you are suffering from driver issues.

Thanks for the idea! That's just what I did.
