Impys new super computer arrived...

behold, I can run FEAR in, 2048x somthing silly, everything to max at 144 FPS!

oh, and my work is fast to.

other interesting things - it took less then 10mins to install windows, a record for myself, and windows boots in 20 secs...

More to follow as I test out its l33t rendering skills - its like xmass.
