I was bragging not long ago that I didn't need to change my graphic card cause it hasn't given me much problem since I bought it from my brother 2 years ago.

My horrific experience with nvidia made me doesn't want to touch them ever again. 4-5 years ago my 6600GT gave me so much problem, I had to upgrade to X800 Pro a few months after getting that card.

Before settling with the 4850, I really had a long thought, read reviews and asked around on what card should I get. Ultimately, I settled for the cheaper XFX 4850 cause I don't play new games anymore, just CS:Source and Red Alert 3. I'm sure the card will do fine.

Yadda, yadda, I went to lowyat, straight up to Thundermatch on the 4th floor, waited 2 hours for hanizam to arrive cause I was stupid enough to think that he doesn't have anything better to do but stay in the lowyat plaza all day that made me miss him by a few minutes. He went to have lunch at Keramat I think for some delicious "ikan bakar" while I had to circle Lowyat for 2 hours.

To mark the unexpected occasion of having to change card, I bought a 160GB WD hdd to try out Windows 7 as my crappy Seagate was making whistling noises.

2 things I hate about Windows 7.

- Shared folder doesnt have that icon overlay anymore
- ZOMG I can't float toolbar anymore. I am used to have a shortcuts toolbar floated on my 2nd monitor so I can access my work faster.

On a side note, I'd like to congratulate Hanizam for his newborn baby boy, Abdullah Fakhry is 1 month old already. He should've named the boy Abdullah Munzir damnit!
