My computer had its makeover over the weekend and seems to be functioning smoothly. It has experienced a couple isolated crashes, but I’m hoping that’s corrected after re-installing the video drivers. The performance increase isn’t huge, but it’s certainly noticeable. And while I used Windows 7 briefly during its beta phase, I’m really impressed at how polished and intuitive it is in its final version. I thought I might miss the familiarity of XP, but now I realize how kludgy its interface was in comparison. Even better, all of my programs seem to get along with Windows 7 just fine.
I was going to put off buying Starcraft II until I finished playing through the original, but I may have to give in just to put the new system through its paces.
Incidentally, if anyone is interested in a used but perfectly fine motherboard/CPU/RAM/video card combo, send me an e-mail.
