Bloody PC game'age is expensive!!
« on: November 14, 2006, 08:26:35 PM »
Hello all, you may remember me. It's Val

Anyway, I went to install a copy of Splinter Cell: Double Agent, and it tells me my system is not up to spec, something about pixel shader 3.0 needed.

So it seems my X800 pro is not up to speed anymore!  :odlums:

An upgrade is due it seems.  :ph33r:
