Sounds good. I hope that by time the heightmaps done I have my graphics
card. I'm ordering from zipzoomfly, which had the cheapest price, and I
heard it was a good site. |

It's not top of the line but as I've been hearing it's not necessary.
X1600 should be good enough for Oblivion and will give me a good
machine to get the landrun up and ready!

I'll be starting today on it. But there may be a fourth machine coming
in as well. My younger brother is giving me another one to deal with
(So I'll have the Athlon 4800, the old Pentium 450, the laptop and
whatever is being given me plus the parts I have). Too many computers,
so much time

Well, when you get another computer, you could always send one of the
old ones to KuKulza (on condition that he sticks to one Avatar only!)
Nah, never happen...

Have to order 1 more part. The new motherboard won't support 4 HD's so
I've to get another IDE card (2 of the HD's have the Morrowind and
Oblivion data)

The funny thing is that 1 TB drives should be available soon. It will
probably be 5 years but a terabye a dollar should become available

Well right now we wouldn't have much use for 5 tb drives. But if there
out companies would make use of them for higher res textures, and more
content in game. Poeple would need tb drives (When they are the norm) |
