palit-7300GT-sonic.jpgIts been months since I had my PC with a video card. I got my old GeForce 7300 GT removed and placed on a PC without a video card. I tried to tweak the PC and ended up messing its video capabilities. So, since my PC works without a card, I did a generous donation and give away my only graphics card. Now, imagine me with my PC without a video card. Finally, after 6 months, I was able to buy the Palit GeForce 7300 GT Sonic video card. It's actually an old card considering I was once using 7300 GT but I'm out of budget and I really need a video card. GeForce 7300 GT Sonic still is using Direct X 9c shader, so no Windows Vista games for me since Windows Vista is using the new Direct X 10, but I don't like Windows Vista yet so i guess its ok for now. Maybe next year I'll upgrade my OS then I'll upgrade my video card. Anyway, GeForce 7300 GT Sonic is the overclocked version of the GeForce 7300 GT Card its a bit faster with a core speed up to 500MHz and memory speed up to 1000MHz at 256MB. The GeForce 7300 GT Sonic comes equipped with DDR3 instead of the DDR2 from the 7300 GT version. All the speed I need to max out the graphics quality of the games I play right now. Not really bad for a $50 video card, I wish I had some more and I could have bought the GeForce 8 series video card.

cc3tw-cover.jpgI reinstalled the game Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars and started playing it the whole day. I wasn't able to finish playing the game before because of the video card experiment I did. So, this time I'm going to finish the game with maximum graphics quality. I'm now playing the Normal mode but after i finish this I'll start again with the hard mode. mammothtank.jpgI just love the Mammoth Tank with its Rail Gun Upgrade its almost unstoppable in the battle field. With this tank, you only need about 3 or 4 to finish a mission. Its very powerful and its huge, just don't get hit by an EMP or they just be sitting ducks. I also like the dig skill for the Rifflemen but it costs 300 credits and the Shadow soldiers could easily kill them in one shot even if their rank is already star.


GDI-lt-Kirce-James.jpgEvery time I get to the mission briefing, I have noticed that GDI Lt. Kirce James is so familar to me. I tried replaying the mission briefing just to recall her. Then i realized she was Jennifer Morrison or Doctor Allison Cameron from the TV series House. Why didn't I noticed her before, I was really surprised to see her doing the mission briefing. Well, she didn't have that military look but I like her being a doctor.
