Well, I did eventually get my power supply. And yes, it works just fine... but when my old PSU died, it took my CPU with it. I'm currently running a backup AMD single-core CPU that's over 7 years old. And because you can't get new socket 939 CPUs on the market anymore and I don't want to make a risky investment in a used one, I'm currently without the capacity to play any modern games decently, including Skyrim.
I told you in the news thread that my machine is ancient apart from the GPU... now it's even more apparent. I'm currently saving up for a completely new setup that I hope to get together in January. Have fun with Skyrim, I'll be over there playing Pong. Or possibly Icewind Dale II.

Seriously though, I think it's about time that I upgraded anyway, you never know what's going to fail next with this rig.

I played it non stop for a couple of weeks, but now I'm back on BGII.
Nothing you do has any effect on the game.
The game looks great, I'll have another go in a few months.
With a few more patches & some good mods it might be better.
