Attempting to spend more than an hour or two on a scene and having DAZ Studio hang, pause, lock, and jerk its way through simple I figured its time for an upgrade.

And get back into high end gaming with all those yummy games out there and perhaps... actually enjoy all the graphical eye candy game developers want their audiences to enjoy.

And perhaps have a more pleasant time on the Luskwood platform without freeze frame like motion with more than 10 avatars on the platform...

The internal parts will be moved to an older but still capable and still visually looking case.

The new parts will go into my current Raidmax Smilodon case. And I'll be re-naming my primary network to Social Welfare Agency.
Laptop will be re-named Rico.
Dekstop will be re-named Triela and be converted temporarily to Windows XP Pro.

Triela will have:

My only question is should I stay with a 32 bit OS or go 64 bit? I can go either or with the version of Vista I have. Though from what I hear 64 bit OSes aren't overly friendly to gaming...
