    What I think about [Hard]ocp!

    Kyle has been accused of being biased toward everything he has ever recommended or said. I remember when he accused ATI of cheating (Which was Quake 3 as I remember, so companies cheat at non-synthetic benchmarks if they get the chance), and I remember when he brought up NVIDIA's cheating. A...

    Now that HL2 is out...Retail or Steam? Which to buy from?

    I don't think everything from the preload is discarded (There was a lot that it loaded so I could be wrong), but the files already downloaded will count against the disk space calculation. Buy from steam and avoid the hell.

    Now that HL2 is out...Retail or Steam? Which to buy from?

    Blizzard hasn't gracefully handled WOW so far, the lag is intense and often, there are still numerous crash bugs (I see at least one a session), and the other day at about 7pm they actually were patching about 20 servers

    Half Life 2. First 10 Minute impression

    My first ten minutes, it's like being in a hot tub with the 5 hottest women in the world who are all naked and horny. Of course, it's after 3.5 hours of being raped by a team of Lithuanian Circus Midgets with raging cases of Herpes.

    Valve managed the impossible

    If you look around you can find instructions on how to back up the game to DVD using steam (There's a popular suggestion these days, use steam).

    HardOCP's "Valve's Counter Strike:Source – Beta at Best"

    I'm a litttle confused, and I'll admit I'm too lazy to re-read, but it seems like a lot of the problems you listed in the beginning of the article you listed as being fixed. But from looking at it and a lot of the posts following it, it appears to me that the huge problem is not so much the...

    You can still use Windows XP for what is it, 30 days, without activating it.

    HELP! Cannot install Half-Life 2

    I bought the Half Life 2 Collectors edition. When I try to install, I get an install shield window telling me that I have DirectX 9/0b or greater. When I click Next, nothing helps. I'm begging you all, please help.

    Doom 3 beta 1.05 patch? any good?

    Looks like ID is content to say the sound cut-out issue is the nforce audio not being fully DX-9 compliant and let all of us with nforce 2 boards have to restart the sound. Cause you know, there can't be that many of us with these boards, and certainly no other games will be coming out that...

    Shuttle SB81P

    Hey, the new shuttle that they posted the review on the front page for, http://www.sfftech.com/showdocs.cfm?aid=563, is that a BTX form factor SFF? The picoBTX standard is 8.0" x 10.5" , and the case measurements they have are approximately 8"x12".

    Nvidia SLI, SLI's back with a vengeance

    This could also be seen as a way to get a little more bang for your 500 bucks with some upgrade assurance. You buy one card when it is new and when it starts getting old and slower you pick up another later on when the prices drop a whole bunch. I would also hope that this comes to the 250...

    WGT634U Wireless Media Router First Impressions

    Been having problems with my old Netgear's wireless cutting out, so I went out and picked up a new Wireless Media Router. Why is it a Media Router? It has a usb port on the back that you can plug a single storage device into (it very specifically says no hubs). I plugged it in, downloaded...

    So You Want To Know What It Is About FARCRY That's Got Everyone Worked Up?

    The graphics are awesome, and the maps are absolutely huge. There are multiple ways to get to every objective. You can only carry four weapons, so you have to make choices in what you carry. The mercs are extremely hard to kill (head shots work really well), but it's sort of understandable...
