It is over :(

It is over! I never ever thought it would be, but it is.

After three years of absolute fun with her, I had to move on; and I am not ashamed to admit that I am completely responsible for it.My best Valentine's day was spent with her!! She was magical! Man, everytime I think of the good times we had, I feel sad; and Uhhh she got soo hot at times, I just could'nt keep her down!!!! There were times when my friends used to visit me just to check her out, and that gave me a wierd high. She was the talk of the town. She was definitely a showpiece!!
I spent a LOT of money on her, she was high maintenance. I knew all this very well, but I just could'nt say anything as she was the only one who could keep me satisfied.
But now, everything has changed. I took her to the limits, but she just could'nt satisfy me anymore, I had to let her go...

It was really hard, but i did what i had to.......















Yes, my ATI Radeon 9800 XT Graphics accelerator ceased to function on saturday 9th June, 2007 @ 10AM.
I got it on Feb 14th 2004, it was the best graphics card available in the market.
That graphics card alone cost Rs.32,000 when a whole PC did'nt cost that much. The crazy gamer that I was , I just could not resist buying it. It produced THE ultimate visual/gaming experience then.
and yes, it got really hot and it needed separate cooling fans to cool it down;
and yes, it was high maintenance as i had to buy a more powerful 500W SMPS because it required a separate power connector. and yes, it was the talk of the town and my friends came home to check the graphic performance out! and yes, it kept me happy if not 'satisfied'! I am completely responsible for it as I tried overclocking it last week.
It has stopped working now and i have to let it go.
May its soul Rest In Peace!
