Shiny new graphics card

By Geoff Richards, 2006 Oct 1 at 13:26

I've bought a new graphics card: an nVidia FX-5500. My old nVidia card died when the fan got jammed. This one has been running for a while without problems, and its XV support is much faster. My one quick test of the 3D stuff was pretty impressive as well, but I don't really need that for anything.

Just took the annual web design survey that AListApart do. I don't realy consider myself to be a web designer, but I have been doing a lot of HTML and CSS lately.

Strange, there appears to be a bare-knuckle boxing match going on in the field outside my flat. Wish they wouldn't make so much noise about it.
