    S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Complete

    Ok, so I kept hearing about this mod, and finally dusted off my copy of Stalker hidden in my closet that I got pissed off at because of bugs and never finished. I'm in gaming nervana! It looks and runs so much better, hell, it looks better than ES:Oblivion, and I never thought I would say...

    Why spend $300-400 on an "overclocking" motherboard?

    I'm still trying to figure this out, you overclock to save money, but any money you save, is mitigated by the extra cost of the MB than if you just bought a fairly standard motherboard and a faster CPU in the first place. This trend is really starting to irritate the hell out of me. Can't...

    Anyone else here hate multiplayer games???

    I'll preface this with the fact that I have 3 kids at home, and I work retail for a living, so I get plenty of pissing/moaning/bitching on a daily basis. My wife and oldest son aggrevate me all the time to play City of Heroes with them but I have no desire. I've been playing Dead Space 2...

    Lack of Accuracy in COD Black Ops

    This game pisses me the fuck off, they didn't even try. Hudson has a CZ75 is the late 60's, gun wasn't introduced till 1975. On a few seperate occasions, your walking around with a Flattop M-16 which wasn't introduced till the 90's. Troy flip-up sights on assorted M-60's and M-16's...

    would a Corsair HX520 work for 8800GTS SLI (640MB)

    Well, my Ultra X2 is pissing me off. It sound's like a vacum cleaner and won't keep a stable 12v. so, I was wondering what opinions were about the 520 and if it would handle the power for SLI (I will be getting the 2nd card soon). If not, I will get the 620, I'm just trying to save a lil cash.

    F/S: EVGA 7900GS KO: $110 Shipped

    I used this card for about a month, still works perfectly, I just got a deal I couldn't pass up on an 8800GTS ($300 for a 640MB 1 month after launch). I have the Original Retail Box, and DVI-VGA connectors. It has been registered with EVGA but I would be happy to help you if you have a problem...

    8800GTS going down 8800GTX going up?

    Found GTS for $400 Can't find GTX for less than $575 right now, up from the $525 I found last month? I wanted a GTX but don't like paying more for shit esp. when I gotta get a new case. Oh well, guess I'll just get a GTS like I orginally planned.

    Would I be better served with 8800GTS or GTX?

    Rig is in sig, I just got a new monitor, and will be running everything in 1680x1050. This card will have to last at least 2 years, which do you think? EVGA GTS for $430 or MSI GTX for $525 Both prices are at zipzoomfly. Edit, I do have an SLI motherboard, but that would be a...

    8800GTS Vs. 7900GS SLI, Help me justify!

    It would be a lil over $100 for me to do this with EVGA's step up program, to go with the 8800 vs the 2 7900's, I am guessing the 8800 would be quite a bit faster but havent found any benchmarks stating such yet. Help me justify blowing my christmas bonus on yet more computer shit :)

    I've had this board for a while, and this new thing has started popping up, when I use the SATA2 port, my harddrive keeps eating itself, I thought it was a bad drive at first, but when I use the SATA1 port, its fine. I updated all the drivers, etc. funny thing is my SATA dvd-rom drive is...

    Dawn of War: Dark Crusade, my thoughts

    Honestly, this is the only game I have bought this year, besides Titan Quest, that was worth the money. I'm 1/2 through the single player campaign with the Necrons, and I have a new favorite race, instead of the space marines :) Theres nothing like teleporting a monolith into the middle of...

    YESSS! its finally installed!

    Well I finally bit the proverbial bullet and bought an SATA hard drive, I have reached the conclusion that changing boot drives in a computer is a pain in the ass! Took me 3 hours to get this thing to boot (odd BIOS settings on MB didn't help either) But now I have 300GB of space, think of...

    Is 512MB worth it on an X1900XT?

    I have seen the 256MB cards pretty cheap, is the extra money worth it performance wise? My Specs X2 4200+ @ 2.5GHZ 2GB PC3500 Ram Asrock 939-dual Would I notice the difference between the 2?

    F.E.A.R. - awesome idea falls to mediocrity

    I read all the reviews for this game, and ran out to buy it when it came out. The graphics are bar-none, the story was awesome. Why the lame gameplay? I mean, I felt like I was runing through the same level, killing the same guys, the whole game? The AI was good, I'll grant that so sometimes it...

    Who here hates multiplayer gaming and MMORPG's

    I work customer service for a living, at the end of the day, I have no desire to talk to or play a game with another member of the human race. I like single player games with immersive stories. I dislike MMORPG's cuz I don't agree with having to fork out $10-20 a month to play a game, not...

    I just ordered a retail x2 4200 which I am told comes with the nice heatpipe cooler, I also already have a freezer 64 pro. Im new to this overclocking scene, which would everyone reccomend using? I like the idea of the freezer 64 pro because of a quiet fan, but want the best performance.
