I'm downloading 5 torrents, burning a DVD, watching a movie and chatting on the net. It's not like my last PC couldn't do that, but this one makes it all look prettier.

Nothing like multi-tasking. :icon31:

I usually use headphones, but my new motherboard has 8.1 surround built on. So I went out and got the el-cheapO creative 5.1 speaker set to add to my existing Altec dual speaker/sub combo, just to try it out. I hooked the Altec set up to the front input and the Creative set to the center, middle and rear inputs. Let me tell you, gaming in 8.1 is pretty damn cool.

Hmmm... I don't remember ever saying that I was VERY proud of my PC's performance. I might go as far as happy with my PC's performance, but that's about it.

In case no one has asked, did you know that you can enable shag-like hair in a lot of graphics applications using an nVidia CG shader with that particular card?
