Well buy nVidia, I like their cards but don't touch the FX5900 PLEASSSEEEE!

The P4C800 is a great board you will like it. Pipelines have a huge if not the biggest impact on overall speed. The added texture memory from what I hear is a nice bonus but isn't worth the extra $ when most games can run 2 times at once on a single 9800 Pro 128. The 256 would be nice but not required and really just icing on the cake. I personally am settling on a 9700 Pro and that will hold me for all the current games until I upgrade to a PCI-X cfx card when AGP is phased out Q1 of '04.

Just make sure all the screw's are in place right on the mobo tray and that does the grounding Im pretty sure (what I've always done so it must be). Artic Silver 3 or its more costly brother Ceramique are the best thermal pastes. You are gonna need to spread it thinly but still cover the whole heat plate (silver thing) on top of the cpu with it. You may wanna look on google for some pics on how much because it is kinda hard to explain. You will need to spread it with something like a razor blade and don't worry about scratching that silver thing that is just covering up the cpu and is nothing

Oh lol.....crap

http://www.nytimes.com/2003/07/17/technolo...&partner=GOOGLE I can't believe we are so close to using all the IP addy's so quick. But who knows out oil supply is supposed to have been depleted several times...

I thought u guys might like this. I have a lot of the cars from these threads and they are sweet! http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?s=...15&pagenumber=1

*Hides under rug*

I don't get it

I went to the comp forum and it looks so bare and all. Must be all the sticky's that are gone. Good idea though.

I had SOOOO much trouble finding the limo, I went online to search for where it was. I read it was at the Mansion by the stepsso I went there and it wasn't there...then I realized it was on the other side of the steps lol (This is after like an hour of searching)

Sorry OC is Overclock.

I don't care about my post count. It was just because we hit 7000. Guess what I'm gonna do at 8000

It is also on the very south end of the first island on a helipad. Nothing guarding it at all. Mr. Whoopie I know makes money, on the left side of the garage there is a little money thing. Dude, down by the garages at the Car show room, get all the cars on the list and u get some pretty cool rides that start to always appear in the show room. Most all the properties make money I own all of 'em so I guess I can go around and check to make sure later. The movie set on prawn island is pretty cool too, it has missions, makes $ and there is a patriot in the set u can drive away too.

Do u plan to OC ghost gamer?

oops it needs to be a reply lol ok 7000!

This is the 7000th reply for the Computer Discussions forum ! l37 teh l337|\|355 begin!

Crap man, u were on mission 12 in the original GR game? Whatever u were on you can get it back to so you are on mission 12 again. I don't remember all the mission names for the orignal GR but you can get back to ur previous point. I'm sorry if somebody else doesn't post and know them then email me ur unlocked missions xml file and I will figure it out. Sorry man. Here we go, open ur Unlocked Missions.xml file in notepad and copy and paste this over the other stuff: <UnlockedMissions> <Mission>m01_caves.mis</Mission> <Mission>m02_farm.mis</Mission> <Mis

Ah...it figures lol

Where was that catboxing site at from the old forums?

Lots of people get into media terms and see 128MB as wow. Like I told my mom the vid card I was gonna get and mentioned 128MB, Now for the past month or so she has been going through ads saying brett here is a 128mb card. But it will be like a 9200 or 9600 etc. Not to day those are bad cards but most consumers see 128 as 128 and since they are the same y not go for the cheaper one. They don't know about AA and Pixel shaders etc. My grandma insisted on getting a P4 rig and I told her maybe to look into amd since it is cheaper in their situation (I like both brands not trying to start anything h

Okay, I see what you meant now. So games like HLF2 and DOOM3 shold help to boost the field of industry...but a though, since mainly only gamers such as ourselves play them than the general public who buys most of the stuff wont play them (violence), then gaming companies need to come out with more games like the sims which are for lots of people. Exactly, we just upgraded first time since hmm 2000 maybe. We have 4 computers including mine one for each person yay (btu the 486 doesn't count lol). Didn't think u owned an Ati card after the nVidia sphiel *sp? I don't have any re

When u say need to mean by bare minimum right? As in I can play GTA Vice City with a pos 32mb card and it will work but it runs smoother with a Ti4600 etc? That 4x and 8x AGP thing comparing to the ATA133 thing is a perfect explanation for me thanks. I have a question though, how can u never max out ur cpu? I hit 100% on games ussually since I make them take it all and when I stream that always takes it all. I guess most people don't stream though. Sorry for the choppy/crappy written post it's late and yeah.

@RooK yeah I think u r right. I remember seing a tv show on tls or discovery or history not too long ago about it but I could be wrong. I want a sticker like u get when u vote that says I licked my elbow!

You are missing a couple of vehicles needed to play the game or mission. And some effects files too. Maybe try a reinstall?

The tbred 1700+ is all anybody needs it oc's like the celly 300.
