Horray! My dream machine has now been repaired and I am operating at optimum efficiancy. Freespace 2 has never run smoother, and it no longer crashes. And now that it's ready, I'm getting the XSI Tools for Half Life 2 editing installed, and am going to print out the tutorials. It has its own comunity for which you can visit for questions. Hopefully I wont bother them too much. But, when I get this under my belt, then we can get some model work done for the HL2 MOD FPS for Freespace. Wish me luck!
PS: We are getting DSL Thursday. I should be set on that particular day...
