And They Cheered, For The Pudding Had Made A Great Speech

Huzzah. My 9600 is here! And in perfect working order and all that too. I installed it yesterday without any hitches besides accidentally uninstalling the nvidia motherboard drivers...it's fixed now though, so I think I'm good. The card itself is INSANE from what I can tell so far. At least compared to my old card. My old card ran at about 135 idling, and the new one runs at 120 ish, and only got up to 131 after playing through the beginning of Bioshock. Woot. Also, with the old recommended settings on Portal, I get 160-220 FPS, which is awesome, not to mention it looks SO much cooler. In mildly unrelated news I watched The Triplets of Belleville last night with Slouchingtiger and two other friends of mine who had never seen it before. God I love that movie. It's like something I'd think up, but weirder. Which is saying quite a bit. Fun stuff.
Nothing else to report for today, besides I feel rather tired due to getting 6 ish hours of sleep.
