The Booms are 40.. and fun factoids about my pc upgrades

Well my 4 man "Shaboom" team on Area 52 got 40 last night - didn't have anywhere near the cash needed to get the mounts, so I twinked them out from my warrior. I'm lookin forward to setting them up with MAIL finally, right now it's almost 100% blue cloth gear.

I'll get a screenshot later today... Speaking of which, how do people get screedshots that have 3/4/5 wow instances all in 1 graphic? whenever I hit screenshot it takes individual screenshots (which is how it's intended I know, but nonetheless, it's not what I'm trying to accomplish).

I had already ordered and recieved the new case/PS (700 watt) and video card (512mb 8800GT). I just ordered the last portion of my new PC, a new motherboard, C2Q and 4gb memory. Planning on running vista x64, monitor layout is a 22" acer with 2 19" acers running on the side in portrait. I found some really nice vesa75 samsung stands at work that were just sitting around that I got for free (happy dance happy dance).

Should get the motherboard/cpu/memory tomorrow. Lookin forward to some nice frame rates. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...-680ILT-Q6600B <-- yay

Also, anyone who tries to argue about multiboxxers needing to dump huge amounts of cash into their machines, I multiboxxed all these guys to around 30 on a sempron 2800 (that's a 1.6ghz processor!!) 1g memory, on a 19" widescreen with a 7600gt as a video card. Orgrimmar was out obviously, but there's nothing I really needed to do there I couldn't do in TB.

Printscreen.

right, but it'll SS 4 instances of wow seperately instead of a single image. That's what I don't want, I want it as one image.

I imagine people crop the images together using an image editing program (Photoshop, Paintshop, etc)

Printscreen is also a Windows function. It will copy everything you see on your screen (all windows even the taskbar), onto your clipboard. I normally then go to MS Paint, paste and save as jpg.

yeah I guess if I unmapped printscreen in game, it would default back to the windows function.

i think it does it either way.

yep it takes a wow ss and a windows SS so just past in to paint and save there you go

Well hell learn something new every day. Will give it a shot when I get home.

Might as well keep it to 1 thread - other than the extra 500~ meg of memory permitted for machines that have 4gb of memory, is there any other reason to go to Vista64? I havea copy of Vista Ultimate, and getting Vista x64 is becoming problematic at the moment.

If all I"m going to lose is about 1/2 gig of memory, I can deal with that. A 3.5gb memory C2Q should scream like a scalded cat.

Thoughts?
