Is it possible to change the directory screenshots are stored in?
My C drive is getting rather short on space (<10GB free) and i'd rather have my tgas on my much larger D drive.
Ramblings: I just turned another year older, and although I am still young, I am starting to feel old. I remember when I first saw a 1GB HDD and said "who the hell would need that much space?" The first PC my family owned was a Packard Bell 486 (27Mhz IIRC) circa 1993. :furious3: I don't remember what the HDD size was but was obviously very small, probably < 100MB. Nowadays I am complaining because I only have 100 times that space left on my smallest HDD, what is the world coming too. I guess that is what happens when you judge how 'old' you are based on how far technology has come :beam:
PS. Yes, I need to upgrade my current PC. There is no way I will be able to play ETW if I don't :laugh4: . M2 puts the hurt on it and I would really like to be able to see even the M2 graphics in all their glory.
My current PC is a hodgepodge of upgraded parts from the original I built in 2002. The only thing original in it is the 24/12 CDRW and the DVD drive. Even the case is new, but none of it happened at once so I still consider it to be all upgraded. I had a SWEET Antec case that I painted metallic blue and silver, with black inside and a DIY window with blue cold cathodes (before windows and lights were too common), as well as 3 extra fan holes I cut in it. This was back when all cases came with 1 fan hole and in any color you wanted, so long as it was beige. But that case has since been replaced with a smaller black one. The silver-painted drives still look great in it though :beam:
Original:
Athlon XP 1800+ (THE FASTEST at the time)
2x256 cheap DDR 1, pretty good at the time
GeForce3 TI 200, second best at the time
C: 20 GB HDD, who needed more, LOL?
Brand spankin new Windows XP
Current: (upgraded over 2 year period so not everything matches, last upgrade was about 5 years ago)
Athlon XP 2700 running at '3000' clock
1x512 Corsair 2700, THE BEST available at the time, and who needed 1 GB RAM, LOL
Radeon 9800+ Pro, paid big bucks because it was THE BEST, but still cost less than half of what a top end card costs nowadays.
C: 60GB, D: 120GB.
I've had 3 Motherboards, the 2nd died in an unfortunate DIY watercooling experiment (consisting of an old heatsink, some aluminum sheet metal, a garden pond pump, a random automobile heater core and a lot of JB Weld, which anyway, resulted in a voltage regulator on the mobo desoldering itself and exploding. Ooops. I KNEW I should have leak-tested that thing better. I also have 3 spare Athlon XPs laying around, only 2 of which actually work, due to the aforementioned watercooling incident.
I realize I need to upgrade, unfortunately I am much more strapped for cash these days and cannot afford to buy 4 CPUs, much less experiment with watercooling :wall: By the time ETW comes out however, I will have a brand new PC. 'Stimulus package' here I come! And there goes the $ straight to Taiwan:wink:
