I'm embarrassed to say it was because my mobo had clearly installed the driver for internet. I assumed Windows had done that, clearly the mobo disk

Gfx driver then Windows updates. Then steam, vent and start xfering data etc. Then setup Thunderbird for email (have clearly used this for 5+ years but I remember it ar the best alternative to Outlook and I hate using browser-based email).

copied from their website..

Our top-of-the-line Gateway One ZX6810-01 came equipped with an Intel Core 2 Quad processor clocked at 2.33GHz, 8GB of DDR3 RAM, a 1TB hard drive, ATI Radeon 4670 graphics card, and 1TB hard drive, all under a 23-inch full HD touch screen. The system also includes an integrated Hybrid TV Tuner, HD webcam, 802.11b/g/Draft-n Wi-Fi, and 5.1-channel audio support.

all in one, too

picked it up yesterday @joe
figured it wasnt too bad to start out on, might get into computer specs more :donno:

The new AMD chips with their integrated graphics should be able to handle D3, which would cut costs big time esp since they run cheaper than intel to begin with

obviously something that could handle simultaneous vent, firefox open, movie watching, and itunes playing at the same time would be ideal, while under 500 bucks

@evan d3 ran at great fps in full player on my piece of shit but i didnt have the graphics all the way up


so what you're saying is that i only need to spend a couple hundred


basically

blizzard caters to shitty hardware


yet theres still how many thousands of people on jsp alone who dont know anything other than shitty dell they paid way too much for at walmart with integrated graphics who are lost
