Got the news today that baby is leaving the left coast and is heading to paradise here in southeast Texas. Looks like she won't get here till next Thursday
I retired three years ago and I've been trying to kill younger boys and girls on HLF 2 Deathmatch, BFBC 2 and Battlefield Vietnam to no avail. I told the wife it's either the arthritis in my fingers or my 4600 AMD Athlon 64x2 dual core that's holding me back. She said baby, get ya a new weapon. So with help from Alex, Cassandra, Craig, DST4ME, Maxyme and others I think I made an improvement. If I can figure how to get it out of the box, I'll let ya'll know how it works. Thanks for your input and to the folks at DS thanks for working with me on my changes and general dumb questions.

Thanks, Tidgxor. My Kbar will have an edge on it that will glitter in the sunlight. I can't wait till it turns a shade of bright red. LOL!!
maxyme, if you think the cpu was bad my gpu was a Nvidia GeForce 6150 LE. That's what HP called it anyway. I sure hope the GTX 570 is an improvement.
