    Inq: R600 delayed to 2nd Qtr!

    Great. This just means that prices on high end cards get to remain bloated.

    PS2 - Adding a Hard Drive

    I did that with a WD drive as well. Also, I thought there was a version of HD Advance that worked with the slim PS2's via a USB drive?

    PS2 Looks horrid on my Gateway 22"

    You can get it much better looking after you adjust the display some. Under the "Picture" menu, adjust Saturation/brightness/contrast. I think the Gateway keeps separate picture/color profiles for each input. You may still have a muddy looking picture-but at least it can have good colors :)

    Need opinions : FPD2275W vs. LCM-22w2 (or ?)

    I picked up the FPD2275W. Initially I was disappointed with the backlight bleeding (over an inch on both top and bottom), but after using the display for alittle over 24 hours the bleeding has gone down considerably. Now it's just a small line-perhaps 2-3mm thick- on the top and bottom.

    Oblivion - Need Help with Texture mods (Qarl's, Parallax, Natural Envirnonment)

    I was never able to get Oblivion texture add-ons to work fully, even with the ArchiveInvalidation creator, until I used the BSA Patcher. I mean, even when I thought all of my replacement textures where working, it turns out they wernt after I tried this. ;) Link...

    Mouse Pad Poll: Hard or Soft?

    Soft. My current mouse pad: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16826991001 I prefer the slight bit of resistance a soft pad offers. I find it makes flick/twitch shots more accurate. Then again, I'm one of those freaks that plays with very low sens with mouse accel.... ;)

    Antec SmartPower 2.0 350W ... $10 after MIR shipped!

    I've purchased around 200 of these (with case) for work related builds over the last year and a half. FYI, they have about a 30% failure rate within a years time, although only ONE of those was DOA-all of the others crapped out over months of use. I'm not a fan of Antec Smart Power...

    What is up with Dark Messiah of Might & Magic??

    Try lowering the textures to Medium? There seems to be bugs galore with the High texture setting. The game ran perfect for me on 3 different rigs - retail version, no MP installed. BTW-is the MP any good? I didn't install because people where saying the SP was bugged with it installed.

    Whats up with this "depth of field" post processing?

    Another vote for Call of Juarez using DoF effectively. I also thought the effect was used well in Tomb Raider:Legends. But yeah, the OP is right. Most games that attempt to use DoF effect over do it.

    Dark Messiah Zombies: Am I missing something?

    My first play through was with a Stealth style character. Bow shots to the head made very short work of them. May be my imagination, but there seemed to be 2 types of Zombies-although there was no graphical difference between them. Some zombies took 2 shots to the head to take down...

    Proudest gaming achievements

    Just finished the game without cheating. The very last stage was the biggest pain in the ass. I never really gave the game a chance before this last week. Glad I did, it was very good (and LONG). :)

    How to enable HDR+AA in oblivion?

    I think Catalyst A.I. needs to be set at it's maximum setting for HDR+AA to work. At least that's how it is for me. (Chuck 6.9 on a X1800XT) edit: The chuck "patch" drivers are not really a patch, they are a full set of drivers in thier own right. If the above doesn't work for you...

    Deformable Objects Video

    THIS is what I'm waiting for from a physics chip. Give me clothes/grass/fire/etc that deform in real time, THEN I will jump on the physics bandwagon. I remember that QCON 2 years ago the Ageia rep said the 2nd gen of Physics card would be able to do just that.

    Strange Overclocking Issue

    Issue resolved. I uninstalled ATITool, and overclocked with the CCC. I used ATI Tray Tools to control my fan speeds. No more hard locks. I guess ATI Tool doesn't play well with the 6.9 chuck drivers. :rolleyes:

    I dropped this game on my PS2 harddrive (HD Advance), it shortened the load times significantly. Great game, I'm only about 5 hours in though. (Counting the hour I spent running around going "Damn, this is pretty!) :p

    Strange Overclocking Issue

    Overclocking then playing ANY video file results in a system crash. I can game perfectly fine for hours on end, but in order to play video files I have to set my clocks back to stock-or my system locks up to a black screen. Video Card Setup: X1800XT (675/800) Overclocking/Fan Seeds...

    Best looking game to date

    Okami (PS2) If you haven't seen this game in motion yet, check it out. Simply stunning. The game is like Zelda OoT (or just about any Nintendo game for that matter)in that it holds your hand for far far to long, but I'm enjoying it so far. On the PC side, Oblivion for me. Quarls...

    Audigy 2 or onboard audio?

    I own an Audigy 2 and Z5500's. Onboard sounds like a joke compared to the Audigy 2. It's really that big of a change. To be fair, there was little noticable diff between the Audigy 2 and onboard when I was using lower end speakers (z640's)

    Flatout 2 Screenshots

    US version has no starforce :) The physics are very arcadish. If your car runs into a lamp post or dumpster it basly slows you down. But, as I get farther along in the game I'm finding out you need to be carfull and try to avoid little pieces of rubble. If you are going fast enough...
