Whatta think of this upgrade cosidering my upgrade cycle?
My Current Rig:
200 GB HDD 7,200 RPM
512 MB RAM
MOBO with a 16X PCI-E slot, and 2 3200 DDR Ram Slot's
512 MB ram ( 256x2 )
Intel Integrated Accelerator Card
P4 3.0 ghz ( Hyper Threading Enabled )
My future upgrade path:
I am going to be getting the Xbox-360 around Christmas, and for the next 3 years after that I will NOT
be playing very many games on my PC, and I will be content with last
years technology 3 years from now. When my 360 becomes stale like my
PS2 now has I am once again going to pimp my system ALL THE WAY for the
next few years, except then it will be a huge pimping, like the
equivelent of SLI 7800's GT, with 4 gig ram behind it, but not this
time.
I baisically want a system that can support, and play very well top
teir games of right now. I plan on purchasing Counter Strike Source,
F.E.A.R, Quake 4, Battlefeild 2, Sim's 2, GTA San Andreas, and maybe a
few more games, other than that, I will be content on my system for the
next few years, cause the 360 alone will have more AAA games that I
will want than I can even afford to buy.
My Purchases im considering:

I will probably save the 2 256 sticks of ram for the computer im going
to build my mom for her birthday, but be quiet it's a suprise.
Is this a good purchase. * Wink's at BigD, and rappa2cool *

Gamespot's pro's, and con's
Forums would be tight if...
1. It was way faster- The old gamespot took about 2-3 sec's to go to the next page, thease take me a good 20+ sec's every time, and I have a cable broadband connection
2. Bigger avaitor- I used to love how my aviator was big, and it helped me remember other user's, I thought this was a upgrade, not a downgrade
3. No messed up margin's- They get off centerd depending on the length of someone's user name
I can not call thease forums as good as the other ones until they are at least HALF as fast.
new additions that are awesome:
Albilty to download from a east coast server- This made my downloads go from 30 kb's on here to a consistent 500, which is straight pimpin.
Integrated video- Just a cool new feature, and also the playlist feature while your watching a movie is very cool.
Blog's instead of journals- Let's up that post count
More highly custumizble user page- I love all the new features, but for some reason the banner isnt working... help???
In short all gamespot needs to do is
1. Make the aviator size bigger
2. Make it as fast as the old gamespot
Then this site will go from an 8.5 to a 9.6 making it once again the greatest game website there is.
Im going to start audio blogging on here

I love this song it is awesome. Chamillionaire has some tight lines, but Paul Wall\'s witty diss lines really make this song tight. Lines like \" Im callin ya bluff alotta rapper\'s claim ta be tough your bout as tuff as toilet tissue fulla that brown stuff\"
Get this CD, or somehow get this song, because of this song I am now really interested in the Houston rap scene.

That of course wont be within the next 5 year's. The real good part of this song is someone you don't even hear. Scott Storch, the production on this song rival's that of Dr. Dre, and Lil John. He is what keep's your head nodding, but Chris Brown does his thing. I give this song a 8.8, but im not going to call hime great till I see a little more of him. Notice all my reveiw's in which I dubbed the rapper's/ group's legend's, or great's, they had been around the rap game 10+ year's. Maybe one day I will be able to say the same about Chris Brown, but I doubt it. Don't get me wrong this is excellent work, but also his first which is why I gave him a good rating of 7.5

Just listen to this song, and you will know why I like it Kurupt has great flow, and the production quality of this song is on the level of Hello by NWA. Kurupt's voice is also really good. He is actually better than 2Pac is on this song. And that's pretty damn good!

I hered recently that he was part of 2Pac's Thug Life Crew which suprised me, cause that was a good ten years ago with the late Westside Pac on the self titled Thug Life. He's been around 10 years yet no one knows who he is. HE HOWEVER IS A REALLY GOOD RAPPER. He must have had some bad management cause he could have been the bay area's firs real big rap game player. I hope he will make another album, but I doubt it. If you had lived in Tampa in 2003 you would definalty know who he is, but then again you porbably dont. To summarize this. If you like South Rap, then you have to add 'Ghetto Phsycic to your collection.

As the reveiwer before me stated "no one in the east probably respects him" I am from the east coast, and I can tell you this is true! over here no one knows who he is, but as soon as I put a Westside Connection song in, they immediatly want to know who it is, and want the whole album. It is really sad how he is so unoticed, despite that his skills are on, or above 2pac's no joke! Pick up a Westside Connection or WC CD, and you will love it!
