    Yeah, my 6 month deployment to Afghanistan was going rather quick but since the 13 Oct it has been crawling along :p

    I just hope everything arrives ok and I have no problems with it after it arrives.

    Got my system today...

    Already updated MB bios from 08 to 09... Updated to latest Dell ATI drivers and did the VBIOS flash as well... I need to get my 3DMark06 disk from a friend to load it and run a sorta out of box benchmark...

    Just didn't want to wait to apply the updates I know it needed. Waiting on SC2 to update after the fresh install...

    I love the quick boot up with the SSD... Especially when do driver updates. You have to be quick on the F2 or F12 during the post screen.

    Right now I just want to run SC2 through the trenches also trying to finish campaign on Brutal before I head back home. 94% Campaign Achievements completed... (Damn Arcade Lost Viking)
