I run 3 partitions: windows / games / backup. Like the rest of you said: what if windows kicks the bucket? This way I can format C: and not loose my game saves on D:\ or MP3s, Pics and other files on the last partition. Yes I backup regularly on a separate 80gig, so much easier then DVD-RW. How much of a performance cost are we talking on todays newer systems running multiple vs. single partitions? BTW I have always used Memtest86 but now It's built into my motherboards BIOS which is soooo cool, no more disk!

Yes good games Friday. When I was on earlier I think it was just Dingy and I for a bit then I left and played on SCK , when I returned a couple hours later the server was packed! Think I played on our sever the rest of the evening...weekends nights always seem a little fuzzy to me a few days later.

I can always listen to Beck or Led Zeppelin. The Dead Milkmen always make me smile as do System of a Down. A few months ago I couldn't stop listening to The Geto Boys [first album]. Is that wrong?

YEah no more official practices here, not in the past 9 months anyway. I don't mind now, but I think I was the last to not show up at 8:00 any more. I still remember my first practice with the team. Total chaos -like a bunch of freakin' monkeys running around with guns. I like pubbing now, I can wait till 2k7 for cuase there will be n00bs 100 fold. Remember trying to jump on the manta for a ride [2k4 demo] only to crush yourself when you get multiple flak from your "teamates"?

I agree with stuttering.john

I too was also standing out in the dark and cold for one of the 50 inchers. I think of one the 100 people in front of me got them all. I'm still looking for a 50" plasma, right now CC has a Visio for $1700 and a Panasonic for $2000. I might run and check out the Visio tomorrow, they just got back in stock. The Panny isn't.

I don't think if the AGP is totally saturated with todays games but it's coming close. BTW my kids comp has a Athlon XP running at 3000+ with a 6600GT and it plays everything smoothly. I was surprised how well Call of Duty 2 ran.

Had. I'd like to make some sort of a comeback here but it's true. Due to a series of unfortunate events that involved a massive candle array, my Friends collection was lost. The past year has been a difficult time for me and would not have been able to pull through without the great members here at GC. Thanks Wentz.

I hear you Dark, I'm in the same boat. I wan't to play but just no fun with high pings. I been playing lots of Lords Of The Realm 2, a highly addictive medieval turn based stratagy from 97', that I never fineshed.

I have been aliasing, my ping has doubled and sometimes triples in the evening so I wish to protect the Bushwack name till Comcast gets this under control. Oh yeah, that and the game is dead.

Is it the alluminum Allied PS? Looked at a few reviews and seemed to fair well just not a big name brand. There is nothing wrong with that, I have a Coolmax 450w for almost 3 years now and I love it. Adjustable 120mm fan, weighs in like a brick, not a big name brand but a good bang for the buck.

I've heard of people using toothpaste when in a bind, hey it's better then nothing. lol, look at this website

Don't forget a new application of paste will decrease temps even if it is is the same kind as before. How old was your previous application?

I asked you what kind of video card you had. 256 RAM is good but what chip? P2.4 and 1 gig o ram is good but what what vid card? As what Flittr said more is better. I had a Athlon XP 3200+ and a GeForce 6800 GT but when I upgraded to a Athlon 64 3500+ and a GeForce 7900 GT (using my same gig o ram) made a world of difference. My hit scan accuracy doubled, woot!

The 2 point win works on longer maps that go into overtime like Dria when you could play it like 5 times...I've seen it happen, lol I've seen Dria go well past an hour. Or Severence when your primary goes down the first minute then there is 9 more minutes of pain with no hope of comming back, even on the next try. (you know Red Planet is the same way but worse) But some people want a rematch, and at anytime more join and can change the game. But I don't care, six of one, a half dozen of the other.

Saw you last night Allanon, that's exactly why I have only played one game of CS.

Thanks for the Primeval Flittr. Good thing about Prime is if the teams are off the game will only last a minute -not enough time for people to complain about the teams being uneven. Also seems last night the server was somewhat empty untill Primeval came up, then the server was packed, and was so for a few maps untill BlueSummit came up. Guess people didn't want to load a new map or like me didn't care for it (I don't ). The Camo map is good with a full server but those pesky side node turrets can reach the bridge lol. The Holloween mod is cool just don't over do the power-ups and monsters.

Have you installed it on another computer to see if the install file will work on it? What brand of harddrive do you have? Some older Maxtor Diamondmax 10 and 11 drives don't like some nForce4 mobos. I have a Mator Maxline III with no probs though.

I figured the game is ready. They are just waiting for Intel to make thier intergrated graphics to have enough juice to power Epics game so they will sell millions of more units, Muhahahaha. I'm done waiting and even looking forward to it. I will still play UT4 an hour or 2 a day and hang out with who ever is left. And you will allways see me weekend night's kicking back a few -Tek did you say chicken lotion? So I've been playing C&C Tiberiun Sun (1999) of late and it's starting to kick my arse too. With all the UT playing I have fallen behind the RTS curve.

I don't get into movies much but I will name off a few I can stand to watch more then once. A Clockwork Orange Howl's Moving Castle Pink Floyd: The Wall The Matrix From Dusk Till Dawn

And with the ram you suggested I get I would assume this would have a high possibility of success? I DL'd 3dmark06 but it wouldnt install. "Critical error" or something. So i downloaded from a different site, same thing. I need to reinstall windows (and the legal copy i have at that) i think. sigh. but it takes so much time... Sounds like you are having too many errors Dark, How long did you have the system before you overclocked? I would make sure the system is stable at factory default speeds for about a week before I would clock it up. Too me seems like a memory problem. Try this out http://www.memtest86.com/ and see what it says. I was having some issues similar to yours and this program is built ito my BIOS. It told me one of my sticks was bad so I replaced it. Everything running smooth now.

You running a Athlon 64 Cujo? I was thinking that would be an awesome jump and would make a big difference. If so what kind of voltage are your running on the CPU? I have 1.4 @ 2.4 and 1.425 @ 2.5 . I wanted to run 2.5 @ 10x250 but I guess my old Kingston HyperX could'nt keep up. Since 2.4 seems stable (11x220) I might try it @ 10x240 tomorrow. DarkArchon what kind of voltage are you running on the X2 above the defualt? And what is this talk about purple?

I set CS perf test to what Dark had: all sttings at max and at 1280 x 1024(LCD). Here's my scores: 2.2 (11x200) = 135fps 2.4 (11x220) = 137fps 2.5 (11x228) = 139fps Little bit under Darks score but that is excpected due to his GTX, still I'm happy considering the 3500+ and the 7900GT put me back $515, 6 months ago. This thread sparked an interest back into OCing my 64. So when I tried to hit 2.5 yesterday I forgot to change my multiplier down again (I had been at 10x250 before) and booted at 1725...for about 10 seconds. then I reset to get into the BIOS that lasted 5 seconds. The next time I hit the reset button it would'nt do jack. Ended up clearing my CMOS and noticed my Arctic Cooler Pro 64 was Hot!, always cool to the touch before and noticed the radiator fins were dusted over. Clearing the dust, running 2.4 idle at 42C and 49C under load -same as 2.2 with the dirty heatsink fins. Going to stick runnig at 2.4 for awhile. Just remember guys the hamster wheel turning in the living room 15 feet is overpowering the noise eminating from my PC.

All I play is Onslaught and some of the maps are HUGE. I do drop below 60fps on some maps in certain areas so I play it safe with 2xAA and 8xAF. Honestly I never tried running it any higher then those levels, sure does look sweet as-is.

Yes I have 2xAA and 8xAF on for UT2k4 but I don't see any glitches and doesnt make a fps difference. I also run at 1152x864 res. I know its a wierd res but I can get 85hz sync at that and if I go any higher res my old montor drops to 75hz and it killz me eyes.
