hehe my aquamark 35042 GFX 5007 CPU 5834 3dmark03 5461 (with my 9600 it was 2599 quite a jump hehe) PCmark 3119

I second that

ya now that things seem to be working ok it's doing pretty good. and with BFV to try it out with it's all gravy.

Here are a few quick screen shots for thouse who haven't gotten it yet. Jungle chopper joyride napalm

I got a new PSU on the way. Right now things are working ok with one of my cd roms unpluged and all my cathods off. He's the weird thing. I Haven't noticed much of a differce at all. I have to run BFV at 1024x768 16bit with med to low settings just to have it smooth. I'm worried that my vid card is not my bottle neck. Or that in my attempts to remove all the drives I didn't do so. I unstalled and deleted the ATI folder. But since my last card was a Radeon 9600 and this one is a 9800 pro...I use the same driver from ati's sight. Other possible bottle necks. 512 noname ram... XP 1800 (runs at 1.5) that is currently OC to run at 1.7 what ya think.. Anyone know a sight that tells me how to get rid of all the drivers if ya think thats it?

not sure where mine came from but it's got to be on atleast 10 comptuers

so I'm some little guy running as fast as my little legs will carry me trying to hind in follage trying to out run it...but no...no...over the hill...i hear...War Huh, Good God, what is it good for....I can't get away freaken tank. Heard it a mile away but the monkeyspank saw me. Oh well back for more

ok I'll try that...I had a radeon 9600 in here before I'll see If I can get rid of them all

We'll I'm assuming it has somthing to do with my powersupply as I unplugged both cd roms and unpluged all 4 of my cold cathods and turned down my fans my computer runs alot faster. The mouse no longer lags nor does it lag when I type. So along with any other thoughs anyone wanna recommend a powersupply. Let me add however thats funds are kinda tight.

Ok so I got a new 9800 pro for 199. I install it and my computer freezes evey time during the end of loading windows right before it loads desktop. After many many restarts and a few loads in safe mode it boots up. So I try installing the drivers and I get this message. "Setup was unable to find componets that can be installed on your current hardware or software config. Please make sure your have the required hardwhere or software" I got the same message after I DL drives from ATI's website. So I put back in my old card. (9600) and it boots fine. I install the drivers on the cd and put back in the 9800 pro. After a few trys I got it to boot. My only guess was it not having enough power so unpluged one of my cd roms and unpluged my disk drive. I Plugged the othe cdrom and started up my computer it runs but it isn't usablee. Even as I type there is a 5 sec delay after every letter. my power supply is a radema 350. I got it to start up but my computer runs incredible slow. From running games to just opeing up window things take 5 to 7 times longer than normaly. Anyone have any Idea what might cause this. Computer specs are. amd 1800 512 ram 40 gig maxtor and 120 gig maxtor DVD rom and Cd burner floppy 9800 pro mobo is epox ep-8rda+

heheh I got one

now everyone has to watch boobdock saints for sat pattys

A friend of mine who is currently living in japan made a short little tads game. It's fairly amusing though I must admit I know nothing about any tads games and I'm really to dumb to be playing it.. So If you intrested....Tads game

lance your on there twice bro

Now in the event that your really considering something like pbt. You could alway do a poll (emailing the link to people) to put some feelers out there see how everyone else feels about it. Maybe you could also have one for just the whole getting the regs to promote even teams too. At least then everyone would hear what "we're" trying to do

The trick is how to promote this idea. I don't really expect the majority of people who play here to see this thread. I guess this is where I ask for help from admins to promote this attitude oh not skill stacking

done

When we first tried it on the last server i played on there where a few grumbles but after a while it didn't bother people anymore. we even tried to see how many times we could get changed. Since then PBT has come a long way and does a much better job. Playing together is fun, everyone like to play on the team with there friends. However the other side of the coin is this is a pub server. Not a place for a well organized clan to come in all on one team and try to run a scrim against a bunch of noobs who have no interest in working together. Programs like PBT don't make it impossible to play together there will just be time when you play on both teams during a map. Personally I like trying both sides. Not to mention maybe you'll get a chance to get to know some of the other people who play here. As far as I can tell the BIG reason people don't like programs like PBT (can you tell that PBT is the only one I know about) is because they pwn on one side, and completely slaughtering the other team but switching sides would mean no more easy kills and they would actually have to try to kill the other good people on there team. Heaven forbid. Now I'm sure there are plenty of reasons that people don't like PBT. But be sure to take the time to think about how many of them are really for selfish motives.

family guys>cs????

::sniff:: not me...sadly I get pwn by eveyone including lunk and trouble

I would however like to add that I saw alot of people admins and regs making a lot of effort to keep the teams even. In fact I'd say I was quite pleased. It can be done. No one expects to just snap there fingers and poof it's all fixed but I posted yesterday and I've already seen people working to change for the better.

This would be what your talking about...and looks like there were plenty of people on your team doing pretty good....not just you any of them could have switched.. between you bilbo and slaut you had 101 kills....the whole T team had 86, just one of you would have been a huge help

sadly this is the attitude of most of the regs on the server now. The "good" players could care less about anything that doing good. This is a pub server that according to the little quotes that pop up during play, trys to promote having fun. When the maps are dominated by leet players who don't give a rats butt about the people who are still learning or just plain suck then explain to me how that promotes a "fun" environment. Bugs I know I'm singling you out but this is exactly the idea that would have to be changed to get the teams even. And everyone was a newb at one point. Hard to learn when you get bum rushed every round my a team with twice as many people as you have.

The two things Dennis is talking about would be mp_autoteambalance and mp_limitteams rcon mp_autoteambalance <1/0> If '1', then force players to join teams that will be balanced. rcon mp_limitteams <numplayers> This variable allows you to keep the team sizes as even as possible. The number entered here is the maximum number of additional players one team can have. Setting it to 0 will not limit team sizes. These can be a help but they are not a solution. And just as a point I believe autoteambalance is already in use. This would in theory help with the number of people on each team. But we still have skill stacking, and this is what happens so often. People in clans often come in and want to play with there buds. Often 2 or 3 of them have some other communication thing like teamspeak or what ever and just school the other team. The problem is not that this happens its that It goes on constantly for entire maps. As far as solutions go I can't think of any "good" ones but I can offer my thoughts on. The obvious and prob most unwelcome is programs like PBT that will do all the monitoring for you. Personally I like PBT but I believe there is a fairly large dislike of it here. The other would be for admins to start enforcing it. Now we all know that it's not possible for admins to keep and eye on it all the time but when they are in there be very verbal about it. Let people know it's not kool to waste a team of 8 newbs who are still trying to figure out that you can defuse a bomb even without a kit etc. There would have to be some kind of repercussions for intentionally stack the teams or bandwagon etc. The big job however would be from the regs who play here. To keep teams even, to switch the teams to help out, and to politely inform new people not to stack teams. The trick is people have to want to have even teams, if the community promotes it then it will happen. The admins are only so many and it's impossible to put this all on there shoulders. My 2 and 1/2 cents worth.

ya I was in trop for one of them He knifed me twice and then a third time I had a para and was just randomly spraying and I got him It was awsome
