Received 1500 Brooklyn Decker Miles, thus far. Guess the rest are slowly coming

I love it when Bank of America pushes a mandatory update that requires reboot as soon as I log on. :rolleyes:

Yeah, some are reviews and some are actual guides that will tell you what hardware will work (and give instruction on how to get it working).

Have you tried the radeon driver included with X.org? It tends to have pretty good support for most standard ATI cards.

Hrm, apparently ATI didn't bother to update these drivers for kernels past 2.6.17. How :rolleyes:.

Yeah, that's what's running now. I was going to compare the two but I suppose I'll let it go. It will run better with additional RAM anywho.

Just pulled up to the UA / CO RJ farm. If my bag really came last night, I could have a very productive day.

Good to hear. I made it home as I have to go to work as well and needed to grab some stuff at the house. This included my mail with my UA Chase 50K card!! :) What to buy today...hmmmmm. I feel like a soda or maybe i will be good and get a water.

One bad experience in ATL was the fact that a soda machine in the park charged me for two drinks and didnt drop either one. Will need to fight that charge today. Also working with Chase to find my 25K in spend. They say I did pin transactions. That is hard to do when one doesn't know there pin!!

Either way, should be on my way to 75K by the end of the day!! Oh, also got 2 more DL drink coupons. I will be able to supply the next BOX drink binge on a DL jet near you!!
