Gamestop Fullscreen...

I'm cruising throught the mall (indoor) and I went into Game Stop. I'm looking at games and saw that they had quite a few games for sale. I looked through them and found a brand spanking new (except for the box) copy of Enter the Matrix for $4.99! I had to buy it. I thought that my graphics card (Onboard Legacy) could handle it. Not so much. When I installed it (30 minutes of pure picture and loading bliss) I tried to run it but got the "Fullscreen mode not found" error. I called support and found out that I could not play it with my graphics card. I figured: either I go buy a new graphics card and install it on my current PC (Dell) or I wait until I have built my own PC (I'm gonna' name it War Machine).

    Don't bother spending money on the dell. You don't have an AGP slot, so the best you can get will not be good enough. Just build the war machine :D (we'll help)

    If you want a cheap socket A rig, I believe my friend is selling a 9800Pro, 3000+, 1gig pc3200, and an A7N8x (i think that's the mobo he's got). If you're interested, I can get the specifics, and what price he'd like for it. You'll need a case and power supply.

    What do you think, Prime? Sound good to you?

    If you talk to him, you can get the exact specs and the price he's looking for. It'll be easier to pass judgement once you know that stuff.

    Yes, it's true. I use a mac.

    That's not that much of a feat though :p
