YUM! I love that game. Did you ever play Total Annihilation, one of Chris Taylor's first widely popular games? I lost so much of my younger years to Total Annihilation. It was around right after Diablo II, and had an awesome LAN/IP multiplayer. Dang I loved that thing! I just upgraded my rig a few months ago too - no SLI though - and I've been doing a stint of the "best of breed" games that I couldn't play for the last few years. After a long stint with Supreme Commander I'm now hooked on World In Conflict and Assassin's Creed. Totally different games, but equally immersive. I tried Sins of a Solar Empire for a while, but found it too...boring? Ever since Master of Orion II, I've been searching for a space conquest game that was worth its salt, and nothing has ever really been able to even hit that mark. Starfleet Command 3 (released 2002!) came really darn close. Anyway, I digress. :) Enjoy the hardware man... Nice choice! Supreme Commander! YUM! I love that game.

Seamless graphics on Supreme Commander and anything else I have tried to feed it, for that matter... Going from my 6-year-old Sony to this was one hell of a step, believe you me.
