Sorry you didn't like the Glock. I was told about a grip wrap for my Glock 17 that had ridges for my fingers. Shot several perfect scores at the police range after I put it on. Haven't had a chance to shoot the Ruger. Next time I go to the gun club I will see if I can rent one before I but the S&W. I like your tag line. My son-in-law just back from Kirkuk (Air Force) and he was involved in ground ops so we were very nervous for him. A very close nephew in the Marines is going to Iraq now. You can bet he is in our prayers every day. God bless you and all your family in the military.

I've used a Glock mdl 17 (9 mm) in law enforcement for almost 20 yrs. As a good friend who was a police rangemaster used to tell me, it's about shot placement over caliber size. 1000s of rounds, hardly ever clean it and it has been flawless. Excpet for the Wolf ammo I bought to practice for my CCW when I retired. Went back to UMC ammo and no problems. Course I still have my service ammo hollow points for home defense. What ever you feel you can handle. But I am about to buy a S&W MP 40 or 45 cal cuz I want one of those guns. I am a "buy American" kinda guy when I buy guns. My two sons are police officers and both carry Glocks. One 40 cal (issued) and one is carrying a 45 (personal purchased). They both swear by their Glocks as service weapons. Neither have had a malfunction. Just a difference of opinion about the caliber. Hope you find a good deal.

I went with WD Raptors for the speed but I worry about the longevity of the drive. Seagate is the current relaiblity king if you don't get the low end drives. From now on all my data drives will be Seagate and I used Maxtor for years. We use multi-terabyte HP arrays at my work with FC SCSI, FC SATA and now SAS drives and they are all made by Seagate. We have had only a few drives fail out of approx 500 drives. If you can afford it buy the Seagates.

Did anyone go into the forum discussion on [H]ardOCP when they did the review of the HD 3870 X2? 37 flippen pages! Definetly a lot of passionate people out there. I saw a picture in one of the replies that talked about the NVidia X2 solution that looks like two boards layered on each other (aka daughtercard). Not very well engineered to me. I like the ability to do quad GPU in two slots. 8 screens if you are so inclined. If the drivers can reach a good stage of maturity, combining performance, stability and functionality then AMD will have a winner, even if it is NOT the absolute top dog for performance. I got started with ATI line using the All-In-Wonder cards. If I transition to the TV Wonder cards I will use AMD video cards to minimize problems and so I have one vendor to get support from.

Very nice server. I installed patch before playing MP so I can't compare before or after. But thanks to all the GC folks that made this happen. Now on to CS for a bit.

I'm trying to get a feel for which one of these to use. I'm set up for Ventrilo but didn't find anyone there. Did I just hit it during a slow time? Thanks in advance.

What's a rainbow?

Is it overclocked? My older machine was and started rebooting in CS and other apps. Memtest said memory was fine so I took the CPU back to stock and no more reboots. Hope yo find it.

Hang in there Fatty, I'll be renewing soon. As for playing games, I'll be back!!!

I got family in SF and SD so either works for me. Better brush up on my play time though, huh.

Thanks mookie, that did it. I remember seeing that once I followed your link. Forgot to use Search which would have helped locate tha thread. Thanks again, Uther.

Didn't see a recent thread on this so I'll start here. It appears a recent CS:S update broke my Favorites list. I can't get any of the GC servers to stay in there. As soon as I do an Add something flashes at the bottom of the list area and the server doesn't show. I've tried changing filters to see if that helps and no change. If there is a thread else where your welcome to joint this one or redirect it. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for helping explain what I had seen but didn't know what was causing it. This is a just question.

Although I don't play on that server much, I want to thank Sir Fatty, head Knight of the Realm, and all the other GC knights for ALL their hard work and efforts to continually improve things for ALL GC members. This is exactly the primary reason I joined GC. It definately was not for my kill ratio of 1.10 or less! As a server administrator (90+ servers, 10+ TB of storage) I realize that any time you put up a new server environment you never know exactly know it will turn out and tuning sometimes is a constant task. Well done Fatty and the admin squires!
