about the paladin dps thing (posted up). if you want dps, use command (lvl 1) and pure strength gear (+str is all that really matters, get of the bear, gorilla, tiger, or just strength) and find a 2hander that swings really slow (like 3.6+)

i agree, play on them (I don't know if it's been mentioned, but it is a good idea to play through the same amp or a near-equivalent that you will use with it). choose the one you like best.

i'm a coke fan (though i much prefer any type of mountain dew and/or dr pepper). Ordering at restaurants, I hate how i lose have my cup to the ice, but i do like my drink cold. I usually say no ice
then after i get my order ask for a cup of ice, then i just pour over.

JBI, i still don't think it's the psu. here are some more reasons why (should've posted them already). when i first installed the card, the comp became completely unstable. i couldn't play any games at all, it would freeze and beep at me when i'd reboot it. at that time i realized it was the psu (25...

yeah, i'll give xp a try. my psu is a 300watt antec (i got an aria case). i don't think it's power cause i tried unplugging any extra fans, the cd rom drive and then switching to a 4800 rpm drive and still it did all that.

no problems with call of duty, homeworld, ut2003/4, jk2 or 3, or serious sam on opengl. other than the chipset are there any other suggestions. i'd hate having to buy more hardware.

ati driver problems

ok. i've heard about how much better ati's drivers have gotten, but that doesn't help me. i have a tyan 9600pro. it won't run ghost recon, kotor, or warcraft 3. they all freeze less than a minute into the game. it's not heat problems cause it ran farcry for 3 hours and i had tgm monitoring the temp....

thanks for the quick replys. what about the SK43G? how good is that compared to the 45G2? is it a big enough difference so that the risk with buying a refurb is worth it? (apart from the price diff between the refurb and the 43)
