    HL2 Ep1: the return of the stutter

    I have made a thread which may or may not have information relevant to this. As its more general advice; I felt it warranted its own thread.

    Stuttering gameplay in CSS and maybe other Souce games

    Recently I would experiance intermittant stuttering within CSS. I should point out this occurs perhaps 5% of the time I play (but I play alot so thats a long time :p ). Looking on task manager; I found that steam.exe was peaking CPU use every other second or so. HDD impact seemed however to be...

    Scary Games

    Alien vs Predator 2 gets my vote. Also some levels on Unreal were pretty scary. In particular theres a level where your onboard the Skaarj ship, and you've killed the power. Lights out!

    Best strat games that will run on a celeron 1ghz with a geforce 2 mmx 64 mb card?

    Generals wouldnt be a pleasent experiance on that hardware. If you like turn based, consider some of the Civilisation series esp 2. and 3. Im not sure if 4 would run if you dropped the settings back. I suspect not but look up its sys. req. on the web.

    Overclocking AMD 4200+ x2 on SN25P past 2.75GHz

    With air cooling; most people would agree that over 55 under load is pushing your luck. You may be impairing the life span of the chip at beyond 60. Others may tell you less, some may say more. To be safe, keep it to 50 (+/- 1) and you' should be fine. Also, I wouldnt want to put more the 1.525...

    Just finished FEAR. some thoughts (single player only)

    I played the demo and loved the combat. The graphics and AI clearly contributed to the satisfaction of that. However if I can expect the majority of the remainder of the game to be similar office style combat; I wont be buying and playing the full version. Some one tell me its worth it...

    What videocard has impressed you, and that hasn't?

    Impressed: GeForce 3 Ti 200 - Played games just fine for my standards up to 3 years after buying it. Still works to this day (over 5 years old). x1900xt - Stunning. Dis-satisfied: 9800 Pro - Games sure looked better but my FPS was really punished for it. Perhaps only having 512MB of ram...

    Minimizing issues

    Perhaps the mischief of some spyware? Run a full, detailed scan using something like Lavasofts Adaware. Be sure to update its definition file if you do use that.

    Problems with SN25P

    There's no technical difference between SATA cables. Other than length and colour. Just get one from a named brand such as Akasa so you have higher quality cables.

    Small Form PC Questions.

    If you werent going SLi/Cross fire, you could get a SN25P and put a x1900xt/x or a 7900GTX in. Research your cards first though. I didnt and I have to return a HIS Excalibur ICEQ3 x1900xt. The cooler is too wide near the "front" of the card (ie. the opposite end to the DVI ports). I now have an...

    Small Form PC Questions.

    You could get some thing like a Shuttle SN26P and stick two nVidia 7900 xyz's into it.

    USB/Firewire Soundblasters...

    Thanks for the link. While the review was quite positive of the sound card part of that product; I dont need a video capture device. That may only lead me to paying more than I want to. Also Audigy 2 is a bit old now. Im really after Audigy 4 or ideally XiFi (should an external version ever come...
