My New DS Machine

Here's my build...  Have had it a couple of weeks now...  FANTASTIC!!  Easily handles everything I've thrown at it; I have never heard the fan even speed up a little... 

The most-demanding game I have (and the main reason I bought the new 'puter) is Jack Nicklaus Perfect Golf, which I couldn't even play on my old desktop and could play on my newer laptop if I dumbed down the settings...  This new monster handles it with extreme ease, graphics options at the very highest settings! 

The only problem I have is with the integrated sound.  I can't record music off YouTube or anywhere else.  I was able to do so on my old machine, which also had RealTek integrated sound.  I have found a workaround, though...  YouTube Downloader browser add-on.  Since I found this workaround, I haven't even bothered to ask Tech Support.

Congrats.

I have not tried The Golf Club...  But I have seen pics of the game.  They are to come out with The Golf Club 2 sometime next year, and *that* game looks like it *might* be competitive with the realism of Jack Nicklaus Perfect Golf.
