Darkenedstar's PC Profile

My name is Russ, I've been working with computers since age 9, and everything i've learned is self taught. I remember what really got me into enthusiast parts and performance tweaking. I went to buy quake 3 and tried to install it on my (at the time) compaq 500mhz K6-2 with integrated SIS video....thats when I started to learn about Graphics cards, and everything from there. Now I'm a PC technician at Firedog, (you may know it as Circuit City's Geek squad) Anyways, I am always learning new things, and i'm always trying to take my system to the next level in some way.
