Nice. Your reactions to the game mean you must be at least somewhat normal.

Is this the XJ? If so I watched a show on speed about it and it became one of my fav cars. This d00d needs a F1 car and he would be done. Course that's if you don't count the Enzo as an F1 car. I love me some enzo.

That's awesome man. PPG paint is some of the best in my opinion. You wouldn't happen to know if unibody vehicles are supposed to be put on a frame straightener would you?

Coo. We have similar systems and get about the same scores. I get 42 FPS in High Quality @ 1024x768 You see any red and white snow while playing multiplayer for awhile?

Actually both of those can be explained. And the delay is over as of today. Precaching started today for the people that valve promised to support first. Beta is getting underway.

56k=teh suckers *Note* Sorry for the no resize, but these pics are just too cool. Even more. And more.

If buying new stuff there really isnt a reason not to use SATA as it costs almost the exact same and coule be considered a lil' more future proof. I wouldnt buy a PATA drive over SATA, but thats just me. Gig of slower RAM would be better than 512MB of the slower stuff if you arent overclocking a P4 or something. I love NEC monitors and prolly won't ever own anything else besides them. They can cost a lil' more but are great for gaming. http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc....-002-037&depa=0 I have owned that one for 2 years and it's sweet. I own the bigger 22" version of it too and both are working great. Make sure you get @ least a 19" that is a flat screen though, no matter what brand.

Idk, but I still blame the video card. If im not mistaking the 5600XT is pretty much the same speed as a 5200(which would get about the performance that you are getting).

I think it would be a good system for the money. I've heard a lot of good things about the powersupply that AK was talking about. I also like sparkle and fortran for a good cheap PSU.

Wouldn't happen to have results for 1024x768 would yah?

Wow. That really doesn't make sense that they would both work one at a time, but not together. ? U tried them at 2.5V with a 200MHz FSB again to see if they do that?

There’s a difference between protecting your home/property and murder.

Nice setups fellas. Im wanting to go wireless, but I need to get a laptop so it'll make sense to do so. So True. One of the best pieces of free software I have ever used. Unfortunately the harddrive just died in it from a overheating problem in the room were I had the computer. I had an up time of about 3 months on the smoothie there for awhile though and then the power went out. It was super stable. So I'm back to a crappy unreliable constantly disconnecting Linksys router.

Dang man that sux. I'm sure crucial will take care of you though warranty and RMA wise. what kinda FSB and voltage were they pushing when they screwed up?

I may be picky, but even if I turn off overdrive I feel like I've been ripped off. If I have to underclock to fix these problems the card is defiantly getting sent back.

Bad news. My brother's 9800XT has tons of Red and White dots all over his doom 3 game. It sucks bad. His video card has never been overclocked and his case has good cooling. Guess Ima be contacting ATI for a RMA>

Woot. FPS=42.1 1024x768 High Quality No Vsync No AA No AF Tripple Buffering Enabled I found out that if I run the Timedemo once and get all the textures loaded up in my RAM and then run it again I do much better. I get 24FPS the First time through and around 42 everytime after that.

Nice. Make sure you have provisions to keep the hax0rs out.

Sweet home networks fellas.

Nope. All the Radeon cards are Dirct X 7 cards with Direct X 7 Features such as hardware T&L. The 7500 is just a faster clocked 7200. Same features.

Now that you got it all setup; post some descriptions or pics in this thread. Home Networks

I'll kick us off.

??? You really never noticed that guy the first time?

Awesome. Doesn't sound bad at all to me. My brother's computer scores a 28 on the Timedemo test with the same exact hardware I have; so I guess I have some work to do.

Buy a shotgun and shoot for the legs/tires.
