Continuing on my week of productivity, today I built myself a new PC, a Core 2 Duo, two gigs of DDR2, and an nVidia 7950gt video card. After spending most of the day and evening getting all the hardware and basic software installed, I installed Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter (which came with the video card) and Call of Duty 2, and briefly played each one. I will say that after upgrading from an older system, the new one is quite speedy, and while it's fun to have a new machine, it's a big pain reinstalling all the software and getting things set up the way they were prior to the upgrade. I'm guessing it'll take a couple more days to get things set up the way I need, and to back up all the junk from the old hard drive, but it's nice to have a modern system. Oh, and Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter is pretty fun. 🙂

How is CoD2? Looks awesome. I just finished going back thru the United Offensive pack.
CoD2 is great. I’ve only done some online multiplay so far, and oddly I’ve seen some of the same maps from the first CoD (though I’m not sure if they’re in CoD or CoD:UO)… only that these look SO much better. Still need to get into the single-player missions.
