Thanks for the advice guys. This morning I turned the 120mm fans to low, I may reverse one of them later. Running Prime95 now that AS5 has been in for around 12 hours it looks like my prime95 load temps are peaking at around 68-69C according to speedfan. Still high, but a lot better than...

I got a Q6600 B3 stepping and it runs incredibly hot at stock speeds. I did some research and found this is somewhat normal. I installed with with the stock HSF and thermal material which should work fine, but I was getting 80C+ load using coretemp and PRIME95 4-core torture test. I thought I...

I have an Intel DG965OT motherboard with Core 2 Duo E6600 & 8800GTS videocard + X-FI Elite Pro. I was wondering, has anyone tried 4GB RAM with X-FI & Vista x64 on an Intel 965 chipset? I heard the X-FI drivers for XP x64 had problems (static, popping, or lack of hardware acceleration) but I...

Okay, well I put together a new PC and I think I made a boo-boo. I got the leadtek 7900gs: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814122010 And for the slot directly under it I got this controller card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16816150012 After...

Anyone know when they will be released?

Why not spend a bit extra and turn it into an HD DVD media center? HD DVD quality is amazing and worth checking out. You can use the 360 HD DVD drive + HDCP video card to do so. Probably need to jack the CPU up to an X2 3800+ as well.

Courtesy of Nvidia: http://download.nvidia.com/downloads/pvzone/Checklist_for_Building_a_HDPC.pdf I'd recommend upgrading your CPU to at least an A64 X2 3800+ or a Core Duo 2400, as well as upgrading your video card to an HDCP-compliant card.

HD DVD looks amazing even on a 720p monitor. Even if you aren't seeing the full resolution the format has to offer, you still will be seeing how it has zero artifacts compared to DVD which has MPEG2 artifacting all over the place.

I was completely turned off by PS3 due to the Blu-Ray decision. I think HD DVD is the better format, I have a standalone HD DVD player, and heck if I'm going to pay an extra $200 so that Sony can force Blu-Ray on me. No thanks, I'll stick with my 360. Not to mention that every review of...

http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?p=8193766&&#post8193766 In other words, Sony Rootkit Part 2. Basically if a Blu-Ray disc detects something it doesn't like and can't get rid of it, it can run native code of its choosing (a la rootkit) on your Blu-Ray player/machine and possibly...

I can't say about the Zalman but I will tell you that it comes awful close to contacting the chipset heatsinks on the M2N32 SLI itself, in fact it may even be touching slightly.

Go with the 360 version.

XBOX 360? :) Probably not the best time to upgrade your PC with unified shaders around the corner.

First you must check the manual of your monitor and see if the DVI ports support HDCP (not all DVI ports do). If they do, then all you need is a HDMI -> DVI cable.

Mark Rein of Unreal3 engine fame believes that standard controllers (he uses the XBOX 360 controller as a good example) are just fine for upcoming Epic FPS games and that the Revolution controller is clown shoes. I haven't tried the Rev controller, but I can attest to the fact that the XBOX 360...

Keep the 360!

Play Quake 4 instead? ;)

I think you should have titled this thread "Making myself feel better about not being able to get an XBOX 360 even though I really want one and I don't really believe most of what I just wrote"

x360. Can't play Kameo, Perfect Dark Zero, Dead or Alive 4, Project Gotham Racing 3, or Gears of War on any PC video card. PC also has nothing remotely as cool as Xbox Live. Not to mention both the X1800XL and 7800GT will be completely outdated in 6 months when unified shader cards hit the...

Then buy Kameo when you get the X360 instead of any of the other games. It's a very fresh and original game.

COD2 - No Steam required.

I just bought Quake4 on XBOX 360 (must own all versions of id's games!) and the framerate is downright terrible. The XBOX360 version wavers all over the place in framerate, and is especially choppy outdoors. My P4 3.2ghz + 6800GT can run Quake4 smoothly at similar detail/resolution. The...

Get XBOX 360. It toasts your PC (and mine).

It's similar to the difference in playing a game in 1280x1024 versus 800x600 on a PC. That would be the main quality loss, resolution. XBOX 360 will still look incredible on a regular TV, and is definitely worth getting. I'd advise using svideo, though, if using a regular TV.

Get Gun, its the best one out.

PGR3 hands down!

Looks like the other sites agree...

No mandatory HD on rev sucks. No mandatory 16:9 on rev sucks even more. Not getting one because of these two things and my HDTV.

Gamespot just reviewed Kameo, giving it an 8.7 - a higher score than they gave the latest Mario Platformer Kameo Gamespot Review http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/action/kameoelementsofpower/review.html

First XBOX 360 review: http://www.totalgames.net/pma/22280 Interesting snippets:

Carmageddon was being remade and the remake was supposed to come out this year but it was cancelled :/

I knew you were being sarcastic but I did forget to put that card on the list so I fixed it.
