that needs a 12 pin lead from the PSU and I've got an 8 pin.
the heck? the connectors come with that little snap on bit to extend it to 12, no? 

I had to get new RAM. Get some Corsair 1600Mhz 2x2Gb kit @ 1.5v 9-9-9-24. Only cost me �38, which i why I suggest. Or you could get the special P67 2133Mhz one :)

I have to get a new DVDRW too cause mine was IDE. Only cost �12 for a half decent SATA. Luckily I bought a Blueray 4x (only reads DVDs @ 16x) a while ago so used that. Incidentally I have never put a blueray in it :S

ALSO:

Your 8pin can be converted to a 6pin with an inexpensive adapter, and for the other 6pin can be provided by a 2xmolex to 6pin adapter (you will DEFINATELY get altleast one of those adapters with your card. You probably got a SLI bridge with the mobo to, right?)

Your 8pin might be splittable, no? 

I've got a box of all kinds of random crap I've saved up over the years, i'll rummage through and look for a molex adapter. 

I found the super secret crate that had all the spare parts for the PSU and there was a second lead for the GPU. (It's modular.)
So now I could potentionally give it 16 pins, yay.

So now just the ram and optical. I could maybe get an usb enclosure, but that would be hella slow and a new one is dead cheap anyway. 

Am I going to die when I suck my thumb in my sleep? 

But surely your thumb is more likely to end up your ass, in your sleep??

Since I was pretty much raised on the pixellated graphics of C64 games and WinQuake, I have to say that qbism is the best engine (for me) to happen since Fitz.

I've been using qbism since the halloween release and love it. 

I actually get pretty good fps with it, too. Around 55-60 in venividifutzi. Underwater it goes down by about half, though. :p 

I switched gl_texturemode gl_nearest_mipmap_linear (or simply "3") a while ago. Much better than the blurry standard look. 

I can't believe how ugly and distorted textures look otherwise. Downside is that it makes screenshots bigger and videos harder to encode.

PS: I am working on my DM map collection which implies ......... yay! Got to find zip files for about 200 bsp files. Eg grindspire's (gimme!) and borsato's . 

Applying... 

I load up WinQuake and replay some maps in 320x200.

Zerstorer is all kinds of amazing that way, and Ruined Nation felt like a Quake 2 from a parallel dimension. 

No more fuzziness, just gritty pixels. 

in 320x200
that's TOO low tech for me. :P
at anything other than point blank range, monsters are practically unrecognizable other than they are like 4 pixels that are moving.

i am a fan of linear filtering though but sometimes i like to turn bilinear or whatever back on.

.... Is a must for making trilinear not super blurry.
