Don't believe them. Russ just wants a new computer so he can play the VR version of Neverwinter Nights 3. I seem to recall a scoop back in April of 2000 that said 3rd edition would require very high hardware requirements, roughly equivalent to the processing power of the human brain.
Also, I have to add in that I think you should go with Intel's Xeon platform over AMD (sorry...I work as a contractor for Intel so I feel duty-bound to add that in).
Long time lurker and part time poster, I just sent $25 via PayPal. How can I not help out the greatest d20 site out there? After all, my web surfing would be tiny without ENWorld.
Hi. I've lurked for some time and this seems like a good time to drop in and say hello. If I did everything right, I've pay-pal'd $20 to you. Good luck with the server!
HOLY COW!
It is true that 'Geeks' rule the world.
I just popped back in to check up on this thread and am very impressed.
I am also floored by the quality of the sponsor gift donations. There are some AWESOME things there. *cough* That autographed copy of Blackmoor looks REALLY nice... *cough* (who do I need to send the secret payment too.. )
I have also been a long time lurker and recent poster but I have to say that this site just makes everything right within my little gaming universe. Well Done!
Some of the people who have the means should also consider supporting their favorite d20 publisher(s) as well. Many of the medium publishers who aren't publishing product on a monthly basis are struggling.
