--Radeon 9250 Pro 128mb, and i think if it's overclocked it goes up to 256mb...
How is overclocking supposed to magically make the amount of physical ram increase?

A sealed Freespace 2 from my Dad.
I thought long and hard before breaking the wrap that was most likely been there for around 5 years! And it is also the reason why I have recently shown myself on these forums. :)

Congrats, a good find. Pass on my kudos to your dad. :)

A sealed Freespace 2 from my Dad.
Make sure you burn the CDs and use the burnt copies for general play. Those cardboard cases are murder on the original disks if you're regularly taking them out and putting them in.
-
What did I get?
2 pairs of jeans. That's all.
-
I didn't get anything. We all just sat around the pole and I got told how much I've disappointed everyone over the past year, and then I had to wrestle my dad and he wouldn't let me go until I pinned him.
-
I got:
Creative Zen Sleek music player thingy (20 gigs, seems pretty good so far, but if it turns out to be useless, I'll swap it for a different model)
Spaghetti Westerns DVD box set (the Clint Eastwood Leone films - hell yes :cool: )
Chinatown on DVD
System of a Down - Hypnotize ('s alright, though a few songs smack of filler)
A book called "Is It Me, Or Is Everything ****?" Has some funny bits, but a lot is rather dull.
Unleashed on DVD (Jet Li film - one of his best Hollywood outings, but not a patch on the Chinese-language stuff he's done. Some nice fight choreography, and what little wirework there is is nice and subtle for the most part)
Also got a wee bit of money, though not much. Most of it will probably go on food/halls rent, though there are a couple of cds that are just crying out to be bought...
