The best review Ive heard so far (without having seen it) is "Dances with wolves..... in space"

checkin it out. Seems interesting so far.

got it for Christmas.

SP was amazing tho too short of course.

Doing some of the spec-ops now.

Havent MPd yet.

Merry ... (wait a sec.....what?.....o....ok....)

My producer as officially ok'd me to say:

"Merry Christmas!"

btw, thank you to the son of GOD for showing up on this day to walk into a seriously bad situation......happily for the love of us.

due to my cynical nature, I now know for certain, after much wonderment (my word) and testing, he really is around, and really does pull some strings for me.

Thank you, and Happy Birthday.

who are you? Why are you posting here?

+1 vote for Laz.

I had some other ideas as well....

you should come in more often. I think youd be surprised.

What kind of service do you have? There has always been an issue with wireless gameplaying.

Also, do you know how to find your rates?

when in the server, open your console ( ~ key if enabled in advanced keyboard settings options).

type rate (enter)

type cl_updaterate (enter)

type cl_cmdrate (enter)

type cl_interp (enter)

also, if not enabled, type net_graph 3 (or netgraph_3 or something like that)

then, when back in game, from the numbers on your screen, record your (ballpark average) ping, choke, and loss.

then tell us all this stuff.

Fatty, choose an amount. I can't see how GC cannot make a donation to Crisis Centres and Suicide Prevention in his name c/o his friends at GC.

Its odd knowing someone so long, but not really "knowing" them. I never got a chance to meet him in person, but he always had a kind word or greeting for me, and I can't say there was ever a time I didn't enjoy his input.

RIP Wayfarer, and I'm sure Ill see you someday...

my onboard has been ok for gaming with phones and the stereo speakers. But Im planning to get my surrounds hooked back up.

Also, the onboard is no good for recording (ASIO)

Im using Win 7.

Whats the suggestions for sound cards nowadays?

Id like nice 3d gaming sound. I also record but I can use my M-Audio USB device for that instead of the soundcard isnt built to handle it.

But most importantly, Id like it to not crash all the time, or advertise that it plays great 3d sound then sound like poop. That would be the main points I think

I saw that name in the server the other night. How many times he's been here not sure, but he definitely made it out here.

then whats this 3-monitor eyefinity stuff about?

I didnt check it or realize before... I was running my Dominator GT ram at 1333 with STD timings. I tried putting it to the stock 7-7-7-20 its rated at 1600- constant crashes. After 2 months of forum work, Yellowbeard/Corsair_Mike recommended a RMA because my XMP profile was written wrong. These CPUs are rated up to around 80C or something crazy as compared to my AMD at 55C. I think Ill try for a 4.0+ afterwards. Ive pushed this Vidcard much harder then I posted. It handles pretty well as long as you have some software for the fan (using EVGA precision). Id like a good Vantage score, but I have the demo and only one shot, so I am waiting until everything is set before I hit it.

I have to admit, my favorite thing about this chipset is the turbo. I overestimated before, it usually hits 3.1-3.4 when gaming. But it is not officially an OC cuz that only happens when it applies the volts to a single or double core. Although I couldnt really bench it, Id have to overall OC it above that to count.

Now they are coming out with better PCIE2 options, so there is hope for this chipset. It was pretty limited with its x16 or x8x2 before.

Cujo.....wth? Why?

Why couldnt you keep those cards along with the new monitors. If they handle 3, what could possibly be the problem with 2?

Ill tell you what the best thing was... even with the Opty, if I had some things open and ran an Office app like Word, there would be a definite noticeable pause.... disks whirring and CPU thinking.

With this, it is Instant.

I mean, instant. No matter what is going on, I can have firefox playing a vid and a game running in the background, I can INSTANTLY open a Word or Access on the other monitor...its great.

Oh. Cryostasis SUCKS, and Borderlands was fun until I hit the ending WAY before I expected (with a stupid story ending).

So, Everything has been running great.

The other day, PC wouldnt fire up (shut down after 2 secs). Went through all the basics. Disconnecting 2nd monitor fixed it (shrug).

So... later I notice that the default windows search doesnt work (Start -> Search) or Windows Explorer -> Search on Command Bar.

Ive tried a repair (cant do - OS is newer), updates, system restore (doesnt work).

Chkdisk

I tried to defrag...thats when I noticed that it wont work either (wont even fire up and run)

Ran Combo Fix... nothing spectacular.

Not sure what to do. Not finding anything in MS support either.

XP Home- all updates. AMD Opteron. 2 HDD raided, 1 backup.

yada yada nothing special.

Any help?

Update: After ComboFix I tried the search again, then debug. Then ran disk defrag just now for the HeckOfit.. it worked! And its ugly. Giving that a shot.

Still no search, but at least defrag is working.

Q3 arena on acid?

another quote from the review:

This is one of those games that makes it almost worthwhile to shellout the big moola needed to build a killer gaming rig. New twists onold standards juice up conventional multiplayer shooting action bymoving the battleground to the zero-gravity vacuum of space, and anemphasis on team tactics gives the game a unique feel. A handful ofmaps and no single-player option make this something of an ambitioustech demo, but the price is just $20, which may just make you forgetabout the limitations while you're playing as a killer astronaut.

rgr that. I already see myself shifting in my chair to dodge the oncomings.....and the wife laughing

mousy mousy!

looks too blair-witchy to me.

bingo

sigh

one of human kinds biggest fears.

Didnt Metallica write a song about this? Oh yeah, that was back in ONE of those years...

I edited this post because, well, whatever I was typing about, I dont remember

rgr that.

speaking of games, pub vs company servers, etc. Anyone looked at shattered horizons? New steam game. Cheap. Multi player I think. Looks interesting. I started a thread on it down in Computer Games.
