I want to be able to play HL2:EP2 with my details as high as possible at my current resolution. I am not sure if my system can do it when that happens without first bumping up my CPU and overall System speed. Video card upgrade will come later of course.

Well, I am not stupid to the computer area of things. I am looking for additional input on the Intel side of things since I've been an AMD guy since the Athlon first came out back in 1999. AMD motherboards are simple when it comes to chipsets. Intel on the other hand is a little more complicated and this will basically be my first Intel system EVER. I know that Cujo and I think M2 have Intel sets now and I am looking for some opinions on the matter. I am an Epox motherboard fan. They always seem to push out performance in the top 10% with a much lower expense than other board makers. I am using the 9NPA+ Ultra now with my Opteron 165. I am in no rush for an upgrade, I just want to get as much input as I can first. I think the big confusion is whether I should go Crossfire or SLI. Without a new ATI card to compare, I just do not know.

I am looking to do an upgrade in the coming days/weeks. My delima is the confusing number of intel chipsets and features and the like. The AMD boards and chipsets are easy to choose from; you pick an Nvidia Nforce 4 based chipset. With intel, you have the P965, the Nvidia chipsets, etc, etc. I think paying more than a $150 tops for a motherboard is ridiculous. Although I have no intentions on going SLI or Crossfire, I would like the option available. The board I am looking for must be a decent over clocker. What are some of your thoughts?

They are available at http://www.woot.com/ right now. I do not know this brand but they look decent. They are only available until they are either out of stock or the day runs out.

I am fairly sure he is the guy with the radiation ability.

Yeah, there is. ABC is going for a pilot apparently. I hope they keep the same actors. The main guy (as seen in the website) is perfect for the part. He even looks like one in real life as you can see from his character on "Heroes." http://online.wsj.com/public/article/SB117....html?mod=blogs

My new crib Check out my new TV.

Best thing to do is call NewEgg directly and ask them. And check to see if their warranty is through NewEgg or not. You should still be in your 30 day period. My headphones started to come apart and I just super glued them back together, cracks started to form in some areas.

Well, HAL stands for Hardware Abstraction Layer and there is no reason for it to be on a PSU. What brand and model is it? We can look it up that way.

That is probably the best PSU for the price right now. Even though it is only 550 Watts, it has a very high efficiency rate; it is well over 85% efficient most of the time. Most lower quality PSU's barely get over 70% which results in a lot of heat, high light bill, stability problems, and less Wattage output than what is advertised. OCZ makes great PSU's too but they are expensive.

I do not play my DS light much. I would have to think hard about selling it. It's only been played half a dozen times. Comes with a case and all of the Castlevania games.

I am honestly loving the new series as well as Bleach. The new intro tune for Naruto is great. You can see it here: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x18hv1_new-naruto-intro I've been keeping up with Bleach but I'm like three volumes behind on the manga. Last time I went the the bookstore I wasn't sure which one I needed. Of course it was the one they didn't have, like it is with every other manga I read. I do not buy them. I do not read the Bleach mangas, I am enjoying the surprise of the new Bleach. I read the Naruto Mangas but wait for the scanlations each week.

On the right side where those books are. I have an e-machine that I need to set up for my wife. Paid $150 for it for my wife on black friday back in the fall. 3.2 Ghz Celeron with 1GB of RAM. 80GB Hard Drive. Not bad eh?

Mine at my new place. I just set the place up and am still setting it up. Still have yet to hook up my 19-inch wide screen for dual use and my old 2003 server machine. Oh yeah, my specs. Breifly, I am running: 20 Inch ViewSonic LCD Opteron 165 Dual Core OC'd to 2.3 Ghz 2-Gig G-Skill ATI X1800XT (upgrade coming in next couple of months) Antec 550 HE NEO PSU No Speakers at this time, something new in the works. My other machine is an Athlon 3500 1GB Ram Antec 400 Wat PSU and that's about it.

You should be able to but do not know for sure. Have you checked out the Steam forums?

No Disco, I do not think it is anything like that. lol. Movie looks really good though. "Sin City" was one of my all time favorite movies of all time. I will never think of Frodo the same way again.

thx bud

I posted the wrong steam id in the other thread. Please try again. STEAM_0:0:37927

An idea that could have worked if record players had anti-skip technology back then. http://crave.cnet.com/8301-1_105-9687999-1.html?tag=head

Start with his prequel.

He has one that takes place after the Wishsong of Shannara. I will look through my collection and tell you what it is.
