sorry bout the capp didnt relise and cant be bothered to re type

So you type a longer explaination than the fix itself?

Triangles are simply 3-side geometric figures where faces can have any conceivable amount of sides. Games generally use triangles though some are starting to warm up to the notion of Quads.

P.S. -- I use 6.0 and I have triangle count in my HUD -- so its 6.0, not 6.5
