Thanx D good to be back actualy been away too long

Hey guy's been awhile, good to see some of the old crew still around getting back inot GR and wanted to peruse my old home away from home

I literally bought the HD on May 1st, man. It doesnt need defragging Sorry that just made me laugh, no offense meant but as soona s u instal anything on a hd it will need defragging heck even starting a game will frag a HD. I go a tad overboard myself but i run voptxp every night and defrag all my hd's takes 2 mins for each, but for sure right after u instal a game id defrag before u run it.

Winnie 3000+ Gigabytenforce 3 ultra gig of kingston pc 3200 ATI X800xl Audigy 2 ZS Game runs great for me @ 1280x1024x85hz everything max ive seen it drop to 20fps but didnt notice any stuttering or slow mo problems. Ill be buying this for sure just maybe a bigger cpu is needed, overall im loving it some of the old crew and i have been playing it with Hamachi without any real issues Novaman infact ahs it running quite well on a Barton 2500/9600pro

I had a serious feeling this would happen, oh well First to Fight and BF2 will see my cash this year

ive had the same issue on and off ever since i switched to an Nforce 2 mobo and Audigy 1, many forums are full of issues like this. after trying dozens of posted fixes i eventualy tracked it down to my keyboard and onboard nic, in my case going to a USB keyboard and a pci nic card solved the issue, even tho i had no irq conflicts and had messed with latencies

That system will keep u smiling for awhile

I use slipstreaming and i love it it has definitly saved me a lot of grief and downloading

Glad u spotted that Phantom

I dont know how accurate this is but i seem to remember reading off a russian site that US tanks were taking damage from a single RPG round hit right behind the tracks,apparently the armour is weakest there and an RPG can penetrate into the cab area. As i said i might be wrong and offhand cant back that up with an article but i did read and see several Photo's displaying this

Try pressing f8 while its booting see if it gives u a quick boot sequence order, if so go ahead and boot from cd

First off go to www.driverheaven.net and dl driver cleaner then uninstal all ATI drivers u can find, reboot in safe mode run driver cleaner and in tools cab cleaner once youve deleted all referrances to ATI reboot. Cancel auto instal of windows drivers, then instal your choice of driver i personaly only use Omega drivers 25.90 and up. Any more info i can give let me know. Never over instal drivers make it a habit to totaly uninstal the old ones first.

A game like HL2 can use more than 512 precaching each levels, add to that some photoshop style apps and i dont se a reason for having less than 768mb in any new pc

I do run norton system works 2003 and a NAT firewall thru my router, i use adare SE and spyware blaster and usualy am fine but recently i got a virus thru a game site link and if my Norton hadnt caught and deleted it i may well have ahd issues. If u arent as pc or web savvy as some here then always run a good AV app and keep it up to date

Using xp ? ther eis any number of tweaks that will lower ram usage but the best thing u can do is get rid of the pretty XP looking task bar and get rid of any desktop and task bar icons u dont use every day, i personaly hate desktop icons and i prefer to have as much ram free as possible. No games today realy need mroe than 512 so a gig of pc 3200 in that system is kick ass i wouldnt worry about it
