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...

Go here and download The UrQuan Masters, its a remastering of Star Control 2 and I think I have finished it upwards of 10 times now, go check it out!
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...
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...
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...
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.
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...
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.
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...
Well, my insignia 15" is getting retired to secondary duties, my 204BW should be here tomorrow. Anything I should know?
Also, any good calibration tools? I'm new to this and never have had to calibrate my 15", it looked awesome from the factory :)
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 :)
Well, I finally got rid of the Asrock 939Dual, for an Asus A8N-SLI :D
much better, and it has this new cool thing I'm not used to, working SATA ports! :D
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...
I am looking for recommendations here, I prefer viewsonic CRT's but have no idea about their quality in LCD screens. Heres what I need.
No widescreen, this is purely for gaming.
Must have DVI connection
preferably no speakers on the front as I will never use them.
Good quality and long...
Mines been humming along 4 months now and seems to be stable, no crashes on new rig except for Asrock/Uli driver issues.
Have yet to find anything cooler looking either :D
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...
Well the X800XL is in its death throes (bad artifacting due to memory) so I am upgrading. I am looking at the BFG 7900GS OC right now. Any other ideas/alternatives in that price range right now?
Please give links if at all possible :)
I've had ATI for a while, but want something well...
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...
This game had such potential.... but I finished it in 5 hours
I want my money back. The story wasn't very good, the enemies sucked, you can't die. I could go on and on...it took 12 years to make this crap?
your alls thoughts?
I have had this card for oh round 4 months now, it exhibits this strange high pitched noise when running any 3d application, please tell me I don't have to RMA it :(
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?
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...

I was lookin at this, its a good price, and I used it back in the PC100 days, is it still worth a crap?
I got my X2 4200 installed, motherboard installed, just waiting for all the updates to download.
New system specs.
AMD X2 4200
Asrock 939-dual SATA2
512MB ram (other 512 wouldn't work, gettin 2 1gb sticks next payday)

80GB 7200RPM HD (SATA2 drive also next payday)

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 am upgrading my computer and building a computer for a friend, I want to take 2 of my 256 mb modules out of my pc and put them in hers, that leaves me with 512, would it be ok to put in another gig for a 1.5gb setup on dual channel?
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.
