Back to online living on a new PC

Actually I have been for a while now, however still rather quiet after what has happened and with the problems that are still very much going on afterwards.

But I do have a properly working computer again now thanks to the generous help of a dear friend (you know who you are).

"Properly" is putting it lightly actually.
While I had to use a weak, old PC over the months to have any kind of text contact to friends at all (it couldn't play video, let alone render much 3D and was choking on running Windows XP alone) after my computer completely broke down ..I now have what me and my friend jokingly referred to as a "supahputah" all the time while waiting to be able to get it for me and trying to stay cheerful.

I would have never thought that I would have such a beast of a PC one day as poor as my family has been all my life. I was just hoping that my PC would last me as long as possible until it broke a couple of months ago. I am truly grateful for this gift to help me out in such tough times, not only bringing me back to being able to live my social life fully and be able to be myself in SL again, but all around improving very much on what I used to have. It will hopefully last through the next 5-10 years before it would break from the constant use as well. This thing is so frikkin powerful. Thank you so much, dear.

For the curious and tech-savvy I'll post the hardware specs. This PC is self-built by the way.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mainboard: Gigabyte GA-M720-US3 (AM2/AM2+ socket)

CPU: AMD Phenom II X2 550 3,1GHz (dual-core processor)

RAM: Samsung 4GB DDR2 (only 3GB available in XP until I can get me Windows 7 64-bit for higher memory addressing)

Graphics: Gainward Nvidia GTX 260 with 886 MB DDR3 VRAM (custom fan cooling)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This PC might not be the fastest currently available to people who have a lot more money to waste but damn is it good! I am more than happy with the performance.
I can suddenly run SL with maximum draw distance and still cam around easily (my hardware situation back in 2006 before I got an extra 256MB RAM was that I had to restart SL with emptied cache every 5-10 minutes to be able to move at all on minimal settings), it also runs Crysis at maximum settings at very playable framerates for example and heck it even runs crappy console ports okay that the developers didn't bother to optimize for PC architecture.
I can't thank my friend enough for this amazing gift that shall help to make my sick, little life more bearable again for the coming years. You've brought back my ability to have a social life as myself in SL again and to have some fun and happiness while the First Life times are tougher than ever. Thank you so much <3
