OMG this is EXCITING
So yeh did some research... apparently the 8800gt pwn's hard when it comes to directx performance which most all 3d apps and games use but ahem... Cinema 4d uses Open GL... and apparently OPen GL performance SUX on some 8800gt cards...sigh... just when you thought you did enough research....SIGH
I rode my bike to fry's to get a floppy and I just flashed the mainboard bios...it was nerve racking! The mainboard kept beeping like a heart monitor and I was all OMG don't crash!!!! But it didn't so now I'm a mess with it some more before trying Vista 64...Brought to you by professional weirdo M dot Strange.
