How powerful is the computer you use to go on GFF with?

I'm running an Athlon 64 3700 at 2.4Ghz with 1GB of RAM. The CPU is very fast, and does everything I want to do; although some more RAM would help out Battlefield 2. Need this computer to last me for another two years until uni, as the previous two blew up on me due to insufficient cooling. Used to have a Pentium 4 2.4Ghz, and being honest the speed increase from that to this new PC is barely noticeable.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

What is wrong with a nVidia 6600 graphics card? It should easily outperform any Geforce4 series card, even the Titaniums. If its instability, it could be heat issues or driver issues.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Well, on paper the 6600's GPU should have a higher core clock than the Geforce4 cards as well as more pipelines. If it's slowing down then there must be a problem of some kind; perhaps you could consult the Help Desk to resolve the issue, as a 6600 is a very nice midrange card.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
