I really became interested in computers with Windows 95, I had used them before then but only to perform jobs, while what I liked most about them was pictures, and there was not a lot of that outside of Omega. I love to do graphics, and especially like to look at anims and 3D

I resisted the temptation to code for some time, though I wanted more control of my puter and learned basic programming from a help file for Visual Dialog Script. I thought then to actually learn C++, but was more interested in imaginative worlds and literature.

So far I have created worlds in Never Winter Nights and Morrowind, though my best code was written in ZMud for an online game. I have considered different languages, but have no proficiency with a real programming language. That I would even think to post that, I think this is where I must be going at this time.

Currently, I am trying to smoothly run Morrowind's community user modifications without overclocking. This is educational rather then creative and I am learning a lot about my computer. So I thought to look around here too.

PCHF Rules Scan Computer for Driver Updates Pre-Work

I don't know why but the Barton Cores comment made me feel old too.

My Kid's computer still has a 2800+ runs like a champ...plenty for what they use it for.

my main machine had one for a while then I upgraded the backbone to a 2.8 gig northwood which in turn got upgraded to a 3200 skt 754 64 bit chip which in turn got upgraded the a 3800 single core skt 989 that got swapped to a 3800 x2 which then led to a backbone upgrade again to a 2.66 gig Pentium D 805 clocked to 3.7 which was then upgraded to a E6600 and finally that brings me full circle to my Q6600 now lol lol maybe not old but a few generations ago lol

I don't feel I need to do the things that tempt me to upgrade, I am still interested in so much I can do right now with this stock PC. Last night I got lazy and opened some dozens of huge bitmaps. I was all saved up and it was a nice accidental test of the system. Since I wasn't paying attention I had some anxiety when the displays began to slow in Photo Paint, but dang, this is some PC
