Hey ronin. Wow. last time I posted here was 2010 :whistle: , Been a very long time and have been curious about this new GR as well. Wonder how many of the guys we used to know are still around?

Thanks for the info alley, I will have to find my mic and say hello one of these nights. Good to hear you guys are still around.

Hey Chuck, I was wondering the same thing.

I will have to check in here more often to see if anyone else is still lurking around.

The only other member I am still in touch with occasionally is XRW Pantyraider, I have him on my Xbox live friends list.

ya thanks... i just hit a slow spot between pays now. the tower is sitting on the table waiting for memory on the cpu lol. it is tough to see it there and i can't use it :wall:

September 23, 2003

Goldeneye for the N64 was one of the best fps ever. :thumbsup: GR is tops for pc though

September 23, 2003

well i think that cpu is going to be way out of my price range here. i think i will be ok with the cpu i already picked.

and today i picked up 2 80mm blue led fans and a 4 channel aluminum fan controller. i was going to get 2 more for the front but after putting the others in the case i think i will just get a 120mm fan. still need to get a good heatsink/fan for the cpu. any ideas?

September 23, 2003

you must have set it beyond its frequency range... i did that once messing around and finally had to enter in safe mode to correct it.

September 21, 2003

anyone know much about this new chip?

Pentium is releasing a new P4 call "P4 Extreme Edition" in the next month. It is design for PC gaming and has 2 MB of L2 cache instead of the 512K.

September 21, 2003

two words that people say i can't stand are as follows.

1: axed, as in i axed you a question. how hard is it to say ask?

2: acrossed, as in he is acrossed the way. i mean come on... it is across!

:wall:

Ageed with poster....
But there are some really cool ports from SOAF that noone ever plays, rare Frostbite rooms, and 10mm made some great new maps but are never up and running.

Besides, GR is turning into CStrike...lots of sophmoric, team killing, no team work BS going on.

Really hoping that GR2 is under way.
Looking forward to Call of Duty

no team work??? it is all about team work and definitely no tk'ing. plus our server still gets on average 20-25 players a night playing FLAVA 1.4. and our team is pushing close to 100 active members. this game is nowhere near dead yet :nono:

September 19, 2003

thanks for all the tips guys... it is helping a lot. i was looking at heatsink fans today but wasn't sure what to get just yet.

i did pick up my tower though, i got the Raid Max Scorpio in blue since the fans glow blue anyway. and they lowered the price of the tower from $99 last week to $69 this week. hoping the cpu will drop like that in the next few weeks lol

September 19, 2003

i use a logitech optical mouse, wheel and 2 buttons... never a problem and very cheap :thumbsup:

September 17, 2003

this is going to be very helpfull in the coming weeks. thanks white :rocky:

September 17, 2003

thanks white, will do :yes:

Filtech Computer <- $251 for the P2.4C

Canada Computers <- $255 for same

...basically, the dozen or so computer stores on or near Spadina and College all have incredible deals.

the canada computers has the one i want: Pentium 4 - 800MHz FSB, Socket 478 Pentium 4 2.4C GHz w/ Hyper-Threading Technology Retail.

anytime i can save i few bucks i will. thanks for the info. :rocky:

September 15, 2003

Gotcha.. I'm Canadian as well, but I'm just used to folks posting in USD that I unwisely assumed.

Anywho, the P4 2.4C (800MHz FSB) chip is retailing for about $255 around Toronto. Want to save a few dollars?

where in T.O. ? lol i work in the city

September 15, 2003

lol yes i am canadian the P4 3.2 is over $600 here as well

well i will try to use the os with backups first... i want to make this as easy as possible. then worst case reformat and reinstall everything

September 15, 2003

well that why i am here lol you guys know more about building these then i do

September 15, 2003

i guess i have been in denial... even when i was getting my new mobo yesterday the, i was talking to the people there and they said the ATI cards are out selling all the Nvidia ones now. and he was telling me how they are out performing the FX cards as well. who knows maybe the xmas it is time for a change :shifty:

September 15, 2003

i thought because of the new chipset and bios i would have to reformat the drive and reinstall everything. if thats the case i am much happier now :thumbsup:

and my current os is Xp Home

September 14, 2003

ya i based this on the mainboard so i can build around it later. and as for the cases, i decided to go with the black atx. it has 2 less fans (which i can pick up cheap anytime) it doesn't come with a power supply and thats ok cause i just bought a 350 watt about 4 months ago. so i can't really justify $300 on just a tower at this point.

just wish the P4 3.2ghz wasn't so much. :wacko:

also i am not looking forward to reformating my hd for the new system... wish there was away to just plug it in and go

September 14, 2003

ok i just bought my mainboard today:

next pay will more then likely be my new processor P4 2.4ghz then after that 2 sticks of 512 Dual channel DDR 400 and a new tower with 5-6 fans depending on which one i go with. so it will be another 6 weeks or so before i get to use it lol but its starting.

here is a pic of the tower i will more then likely be getting

this is the tower i really want though

only thing is the black one is $99 the silver is $269

but so far the mainboard was $145 plus tax, CPU is going to cost $279 and the DDR is going to be $244. i am going to stick with my 2 harddrives for now my cdr and cd drives. i have a soundblaster gamer 5.1 card and a GF 4200 Ti Turbo. so this will cost well over $800 bucks to get my machine up and running and that is with the cheaper tower :wacko:

hey ya cowboy :thumbsup:

I got Splinter Cell with my XBOX and i can't imagine playing it on the PC. The controls are so easy. I think it just depends on what you play the game on first. For example, I'm used to XBOX controls for SC but i can't play GR on the XBOX!

i am exactly the same on that. love sc on xbox can't play gr on it though :wacko:

August 30, 2003

i cannot believe how good these glasses must be to have you going off like this Rocky. looks like i need to pick up some new :rocky: very soon lol

hmmmm something just occured to me... with the exchange rate for these it is going to run well over $100 canadian for me :wall: may have to wait another paycheck or two lol
