Soz, it won't embed. LOL


Is my video card the only thing that needs upgrading?
And if I only upgrade the video card, will the game be sluggish because my processor barely meets the minimum req?

Right now Tatoo seems promising so I'd like to check if any of you guys subscribe to them.

Everything seems to be the same aside from the 7GB / day cap from tatoo but since I dont really download stuff that much (probably 3-4gigs a day max) and i really only get to spend like 6 hours at home i doubt it would impact me in any way.

Anyways let me know what you think]]>

“The PLDT Fibr plan comes with an Optical Network Unit (ONU) modem that connects to a fiber optic cable,” said PLDT Head of Retail Business Group Dan C. Ibarra. Residents can avail the unlimited Fibr monthly plans at P3,500 for the 8mbps plan, P6,500 for the 15mbps plan, and P20,000 for the 100mbps plan.

Quote:The 2011 basic Commodore 64 includes an Intel Atom 1.8 gigahertz processor, a 160 gigabyte hard drive and 2 gigabytes of memory — compared with the 64 kilobytes of memory that gave the original version its name. The high-end version of the latest Commodore includes a BluRay drive, 4 gigabytes of memory, WiFi and a 1 terabyte hard drive for $895.

The latest Commodore 64 also can run Microsoft Corp.’s Windows 7, although it comes with a lesser-known type of operating system known as Ubuntu. The company says it plans to offer its own Commodore operating system that is compatible with 8- 16- and 32-bit software.
