Today my XFX GeForce 7600GT XXX Edition (aka the hottest...er...best 200 dollar video card on the market) arrived. Small box, compared to the monstrous ones my previous cards came in. Possibly because there was basically no packaging. Card, driver CD, monitor adapter, HDTV connector cable. S'all.
Installation was, quite literally, a snap. It snapped right in, and I was done.
And my computer, it works again. Now to catch up on a week or two's missed downloading, figure out why the totally inconsequential 40 gig drive isn't showing up (I had one game install, but not saved games, and one or two reasonably easily replaced disc images on it, and it's too small to seriously rely on in future, so if it's lost to me, no biggy.), watch Advent Children, and play the stuffing out of Oblivion.

Suddenly I'm all for buying all this stuff I never would have thought about before.
