N4 getting expensive :)

I finally had it. Went to a computer fair yesterday and replaced my antique
TNT V770 Ultra with a spiffy new ASUS V8200 G3.
 Holy $&*%, i cant believe the difference in N4. Finally, i can run with a
full field and goodies on. Amazing how much time you can shave off of a lap
by having a framerate that doesnt refresh using a lunar cycle.
 My P3 1gig went from a lowly 1570 on 3DMark2001, to a 4817. I almost fell
outta my chair when i first ran the benchmark. Hmmm, maybe ill go hock the
family heirlooms now and go get a new processor too..hehe

 Congrats on your purchase, nothing like a hardware upgrade that puts a
smile on your face. :)
    In GPL and N4 I've made faster and more consistant lap times through
system upgrades. C450 w/ V2 -> V3 -> P3-550 w/V3 -> P3-700 w/V3 ->
OC-924mhz -> Radeon 64m DDR -> P4-1.4 w/ GF2 Ultra <- will run at 1.6 but
really no point :) Had and sold AMD 1.33 w/ GF2. Every upgrade helped me out
and made me much happier w/ GPL and N4 when it came in the picture.
