Nothing beats waiting for furniture

As I mentioned in a previous update, at the end of July I moved into my first house. Along with moving into the house I had the always interesting experience of waiting for furniture to be delivered - or more realistically - waiting for it not to be delivered and then wondering where it all went. If you've never had the joy of waiting for it to be delievered, it's like waiting for the cable guy except this cable guy happens to hold your ability to enjoy a good night's rest in your bed (scary thought no?). In any case, the point of this story is that I've been up since 8AM waiting for a dining table to be delivered, hopefully the last major piece of furniture for the house. It's the only dining table I liked as it is square and seats 8, I'm not a fan of the whole "head of the table" idea...this way everyone is an equal at the table.
Ok so enough about dining, I just finished installing Flight Sim 2004 on this machine and I'm going to see if I can get a better benchmark out of it. I finished a Tron 2.0 benchmark last night and I finished testing Halo PC on both ATI and NVIDIA cards yesterday, so far I haven't been able to find any serious visual differences between the two using the CAT3.7s and the 52.14 drivers but we'll be taking screenshots to make sure.
Looks like the delivery truck is here so I'm cutting this one short, I'll post at you later.
Take care

Hey Anand,What's up, I own these games: Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, Medal of Honor: Allied Assault Spearhead, Unreal 2, Half-Life, Half-Life: Opposing Forces, Half-Life: Blueshift.
I plan to get these games: Medal of Honor: Allied Assault Breakthrough, Halo, Half-Life 2, Doom 3.
I wanted to know if you could add Unreal 2, and Medal of Honor: Allied Assault Breakthrough. Unreal 2 is still very new and nobody benchmarks it. I love the Medal of Honor series and I bet that I'm not alone. Since Breakthrough was just released, it might challenge the system more than Spearhead, which I couldn't play with everything on with a Ti 4600. Medal of Honor games are sure to challenge your system as they eat up a lot of resources. E-mail me at least let me know. Thanx.
