Oh, and for those interested, I've decided on what I'm to upgrade on my pc! Going to replace my 9800 GT with a GTX 560 Ti, replace my 450 watt PSU with an 800 watt Corsair PSU, and add 4 GB of Ram. I'm looking forward to this...

Good choice on the card and PSU. The PSU is more powerful than you need, but not insanely so, and it's a good brand name. I had an a-power that fried in the first two weeks through poor design, the whole series went bad, in fact, such that when I walked back into the store and said "My PSU has died" they said "a-Power". Although that said, the replacement one from a later series has never let me down. By-and-large the good brand names are worth paying a little extra for.
How much RAM, at what speed, do you have? It is my experience that beyond 4GB of RAM you don't get significant speed improvements. I had 8GB of DDR2 at one point (the second 2x2GB set was so cheap I couldn't resist) and the performance upgrade over 4GB was virtually nothing. Windows 7 x64 just didn't use the extra memory efficiently, although I did notice that when starting large applications like HoI3/EU3, if I quit and reloaded I would absolutely street anyone with 4GB.
Anyway I'd rather go 4GB of 1866 than 8GB of 1666.

I think at the moment I have 4 gb of 1666, so I was going to get 8 gb of 1666. I can't remember what RAM I actually bought originally and the damn sticker on the sticks is so tiny I can't read it.
This is relevant.
But you should be able to find out exactly what you already have with something like CPU-ID.
Ah, thank you.
I also managed to discover why my PC was making a lot of noise... the sticker on my graphics card had been peeled off by dust somehow and flown into the fans, lol!
I wonder how noisy that is compared to one of the fans with a gummy stator. They sound like a wrecked bearing.
Deadline!

Thus ends Spring, 1905. We now begin the Movement and Diplomacy Phase, Fall, 1905. The deadline for orders will be 07:00 GMT, the 1st of November*, 47 hours from now.
*A public holiday so be nice if the update is late

It's so weird seeing Germany and Britain co-operating, or at least not fighting, and as a consequence doing pretty well. I guess that's what happens when EURO and reis aren't going at each other.
Deep down, Diplomacy is just a game about getting together and being a big happy family.
You should check out Diplomacy II. The Joebglory tandem tied for the win there, as a Russia-Italy combo.
That was a Vainjoeb the great glory victory as I recall.
This is a Vainkuush.
Vainglory is too good at this game. I'm going to sleep.

Is this a dagger which I see before me?
That's right. Bit of a mouthful, like "The Honorable Knight of Gliese 1"
I think ForzaA's really carrying the weight at our end, so it might be Forkuush.
What? Some of my orders failed?

Nice to see we have three power blocks now.

Also joeb has done good job with helping me so far, but the game is not over yet.
