Remember the card I bought?
Turns out she’s really one hot mama. I managed to OC her from 575/850 to a whopping 660/1000!
And she’s still purring like a sweet pussy.
And because of that I can finally play my Company of Heroes with all the bells and whistles. Woohoo!

All the bells and whistles

As you can see there isn’t much difference between running with all the bells and whistles and not. This is one heck of a card manz.
I will be appearing in two plays in the above short play festival. According to the schedule, both of the plays will be held on 22 April. I’m still hoping that they can re-schedule one of them to 21st. 
Anyway, the plays are “Who’s Catherine Seah May Ann” and “Pure Sugar”, both in the Wildcard category.
I got an offer today to be in one of the Top 20 plays, but alas, I’m already committed to this two, and each actor is only allowed to do a maximum of 2 plays.
Still, its nice to know that I was good enough for one of the Top 20s. 
Update :
They’ve managed to re-schedule. So, I’ll performing on two days instead.
Apr 21, Sat : Who’s Catherine Seah May Ann?
Apr 22, Sun :Â Pure Sugar
The thing that bugged me the most, as I prepared for my audition yesterday, was the inexplicable reason that I couldn’t get to sleep the night before. Coupled with the stress of having to change my modem and dealing with the anticipated mobilisation call up, you might say I wasn’t in the best frame of mind for the audition.
This is the day.
That The Lord hath made.
I will rejoice,
And be glad in it.
Thank You for such a wonderful day.
I guess I’m treating the graphic card bought as an early birthday gift to myself.
For those not in the know, this is a DirectX 10 card, real bleeding edge stuff. How bleeding edge is this? Well, there are no games that support DirectX 10 now, that’s how bleeding edge it is. Of course I didn’t get it so as to play Directx 10 games, I got it to replace my really cannot make it anymore 6800 Ultra.
And with this card, I’m finally inducted into the current wave of wide-screen gaming, and I must say I’m loving it.
For those with 24″ or larger monitors, I would recommend the 640mb version and if you are the rare few that is gaming on a 30″, you might want to invest in the top of the line 8800 GTX. If you do have such a large screen, you might even want to consider a SLI configuration for that and run every single detail maxed out, and be the envy of all your friends.
But if you do want to upgrade, I suggest waiting till April. A whole new range of Nvidia graphic cards are gonna be out, which usually means price drops on the existing cards now.
Yes, yes, including the one I just bought. Sigh.
