I've just purchased that DoD source game you guys always play for about $16 but I didn't bother looking at the box. It seems I only have a CD Rom drive on my computer & this game requires a DVD Rom...

BASTSREDFDHG!!"11

Anyhoo, I was wondering if there's any way I'd still be able to play this game without going out & buying a DVD Rom?

christ sakes how many pcs/case/mobo's/videocards do you have in your room

how the fuck do you finance for this?

Had the opteron for a while, just bought the memory, mobo and x1900, charged the case and psu and hard drive to my credit card.

Looking for opinions on one of these PCI-e X16 Cards
the system I'll prob get has a 128MB PCI Expressâ„¢ x16 (DVI/VGA/TV-out) ATI Radeon X300 SE HyperMemory in it.

This would be basically for cod2/sims2 and newer games, So I think an upgrade is nec.

Im leaning at the Sapphire X850XT, XFX PVT42EUDE3 Geforce 6800 XTreme or eVGA 256-P2-N549 Geforce 7600GS 256MB

The monitor it would go on would either be

Analog 19inch

http://configure.us.dell.com/dellstore/ ... &oc=1707FP
Digital 17inch

Suggestions on both.

Also looking at this

7600gs is about equal to the x1600 pro so not too good.
The best of those cards as far as speed is concerned id say is the x850xt but its missing sm 3.0 etc. If you can find a 7600GT go for that since its about equal to the x850 in terms of speed but also has sm 3.0.


As far as monitors go dvi gives a sharper image (apparently). Can't really say ive noticed a shitload of difference between vga and dvi on my old x800 though.

Ive decided to go with either the

faster core clock and memory(500/1000) only 128mb
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6814130214

or
slower core clock and memory(400/800) more mem 256
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6814130004

mainly for cod2 sims 2 and shiz like that

its a 1000 bucks(yes I know I could build it cheaper), but only way to get it is thru no interest finanicing through dell.

It kills her current system which is all fucked up and crashs with memory and chkdsk errors even when shes looking at pictures

Gigabyte aurora, has 3 120mm fans for really good system cooling, also has some litle light projector at the front that casts the name and logo onto the floor, plus you can make your own logo an install it and it'll cast that instead.

and you call me greasy, look at the fuckin hand print on that picture. filthy fucking mick biggrin:

Its not visible on the case funny enough, just when the flash hit. annoy:

spank: you filthy wop.

ed: nice case

sweet case, pre-drilled for water cooling.

Yeah i was thinking of using my hydrocool unit again but it used to heat my room up like a frigin furnace when it was cooling my prescott 3.2@4ghz so just opted to go air cooling this time.

i have a 250GB Ultra ATA 100 Seagate HD 7200 rpm, 16mb cache - will i be able to combine this to a Seagate 300GB SATA 300 7200 rpm, 16mb cache for a RAID?

once again, i need assistance [particularly from gerv].. i need you to "make" me a computer that is as cheap as possible but can still run CoD2 very well.. something like 125 constant fps on lowest settings [333 even?] ? so yeah.. get to work!

my computers cooler gerv, just because i own it

What ASUS board is that?

A8N-E?

A8V Deluxe

i have a a8v, but its the agp one and wouldn't work with the video card i had so its sits in my closet. (forgot to return it)

Don't think you could do raid 0 which basically mirrors the drives to improve speed, as far as i know raid drives have to be the same size, for raid 0 at least.

Ive never done a raid cfg so im not too sure, but any raptor dual cfg's ive seen are the same size so id asume they have to be.

Get those cables shifted outta the way, holee shit like a rats nest in there. ed:

eek:

With new cpu's and mobo' from amd launching in a few days you're better off waiting till then.

gervs a filthy slut

I just did that recently, this was the best I could do. My PC never feels hot.

[img]http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/9712/00004925wc.jpg[/img]

Probably just looks messy because the psu has no sleeving around the cables. Depends on your case as well if theres somewhere you can put them out of the way.

This was my set up monday of the wifes new PC and installing the new vid card. It was a fucking snap with that little clip action that dell has to hold in the PCI Cards

My case has a similar swing down holder to secure the expansion cards. rock:

I dunno why dell use so much friggin custom ducting in their pc's, youd think they were trying to contain the heat of an out of control nuclear power plant or something. ed:

Looks like a BTX setup as well with the cpu near the front with the big cooler on it. Far better for cooling.
