I liked the witcher. Kinda cool and you can really take your time in the game. Plus the fighting style and interaction is a little different. You really feal like your getting tough without looking fake.
Also, the level up bonuses are different too...a lot to choose from.
one other...
I am ambivalent because the battle between intel and AMD can go either way. But as of now only, I am slightly leaning towards Intel because they are slightly ahead and the technology is better. Plus, i would like to wait and see about the B3 stepping on the phenom.
8800GTS is a great way...
As much as I like free AV, like AVG, they are not good for SBS2003 or any other server environment. I use NOD 32. Spent around 500 for a set license. No problems and doesnt affect exchange if ur running on same server. Also, i never put spyware protection on a server.....ever
I have used the koolance drop in kit. I used it on an old opteron system. It hard a very hard time cooling just the CPU. I dont know what advances they have made inthe drop ins.
However, the exos series work great. U can actually "drop in" an exos 2 if u cut out the top of your case...
I like koolance. You can search by socket type and VGA type and northbridge.
Some peeps dont like koolance, but i posted earlier, it works great for me. Setup was easier too. Kinda expensive though. But they have always came through for me.
every year i replace the tubing and clean radiator. U have to follow the guidlines carefully or the cleaning could create a breeding ground for mold and algae.
In my old system the tubes discolred. So far none in my new system....I am using a koolance system with koolance liquid.
For a 160 dollars I would look on ebay. I believe you can get a koolance internal system but it isnt enough to cool the VGA and CPU.
If you go to http://www.tomshardware.com/2007/03/28/a-beginners-guide-for-watercooling-your-pc/
gives a few guidlines.
I cant remember name, but there is...
I am cooling my system using the exos2 built into the lian lia case ( spelling*).
With cooling the HD ( waste of time and money )
and the q6600 OC to 3.0
and the 8800GTX,s
With my room around 68 degrees F
I run 39 under load. 29 idle....Right now as we speak I am at 42 with 4...
Actually, until a couple weeks ago. the drivers were so bad for the 9800GX2 that it performed so terrible, and even worse with AA on, that it was a waste of card. 8800GTX was killing it ( overstatement ). When they released new drivers, performance and reliability was raised greatly.....so...
I read over thread. After following all the directions, I can play HD videos.
Problem with VLC is that it uses CPU for HD encoding. Using all the links posted I now use WMP for HD playback.
Reminder, installing only some of the encoding packs may result in sound or lagging problems. I...
If you can overclock, you can get a lower processor and overclock to same speeds.
Also, do not buy the 9800GX2. It is a waste of money. In some applications according to hardocp, the 8800GTX out performs due to more memory. Also, the 9800GX2 spikes and lags a lot. For the money, 8800GTX...
