A while ago my old computer’s power supply fizzled out. I bought a 430 watt Thermaltake power supply, but something was wrong with the motherboard (an Asus A7M266-D with 2 Athlon 1900 MP processors). I eventually replaced the motherboard with an Asus P5B Deluxe, an Intel Core 2 Duo 6600, with an Asus Radeon x1950pro video card.The new computer is running great. I can finally play modern video games again. I have been playing a lot of F.E.A.R. Combat online. I just bought Quake 4 and FarCry, and have been having a lot of fun with both of them.Now that I have a video card that supports shader model 3, I can finally mess around with the examples in my programming vertex and pixel shaders book. I started a new Visual Studio C++ project where I copied an example program from the DirectX 9 SDK. I have been making a basic framework for doing 3D stuff. So far it just shows a textured triangle strip plane spinning around.
