Gecube is the least well known brand of video card that i have owned. X1900GT, Good card, no problems it at all. I've also owned a couple of Powercolor cards. Both good. I had a bad experience with a Major brand too. Sapphire Radeon 9600XT 256MB. Not only did that card sour my very first computer bu...
Awesome trailer. Yeah the Jenner looked a little too bulky but otherwise not bad. Some of the weapon locations weren't right like the Atlas having a missle launcher in its center torso. Just minor details though. Awesome! I had actully read about Smith and Tinker owning the rights about a year ago ...
The Jenner was the only one i was curious about, it doesn't look much like the traditional design. The Warhammer was spot on, and the Atlas was so Bad Ass it almost made me want to cry.
This has been a great day for me gentlemen, a great day indeed.
Ok, After just watching the trailer for the new Mechwarrior title, seeing who's developing it, and geeking out for about 30 minutes over it, i will say this: Oh My God, I want it!! If Jordan Weisman is helping develop it, and with the way it is looking, it will be a true Mechwarrior title, and that,...
I don't understand all the hate for MW4. I thought that it was a lot of fun, granted that I haven't played any of the older ones. What exactly was bad about MW4? If you haven't played the first 3 then i can understand your ignorance. Basically, Mircosoft changed everything they could, and still cal...
I've been following this mod for a long time. If it play's as well as it looks, then it will be worth the wait. That being said, I see the weapon modeling for the standard assault rifle still isn't a M-16. Since, you know, that's the main rifle of the US marines... Actually the M-16 is outdated. Eve...
Well, it got here today, and i am typing this very message on it. So far it feels pretty good. I didn't realize how slim it was in the pictures, but it's almost like typing on a laptop keyboard. The keys themselves are about 1/2 the height of any of my previous keyboards. It's not bad, it just takes...
Well I was completely wrong. Whats the deal with all these companies shipping drives that are broken out of the box or bricking themselves lately ? Makes me glad I have stuck with western digital they haven't as many problems as some of the other companies. I hear you man. Honestly if i would have ...
Ok, the links in the TR thread lead me to the solution. I had to download MHDD , Install it on a floppy, and run it at boot. After that all i had to do was tell MHDD to set the LBA really high (i just typed in a bunch of numbers like 19378456525874562587456625) and now it detects and runs fine. Than...
Your drive is NOT dead but you should have updated your BIOS before you installed such a large drive. Your motherboard didn't know hos to deal with the size and your harddrive now thinks it is 32MB. This happened to me too on a Gigabyte board of the same generation. It took me a while but I ended u...
Being a new drive my first guess would be that the drive died. If the jumpers on the drive are set correctly which i am guessing they are because the bios sees the drive. Then I would say you got a dud. If the drive is SATA which i am guessing it is then my guess is your screwed. I was sincerely ho...
Last week i got a new Samsung Spinpoint F1 1TB hard drive. I installed it and have been running it just fine for several days with no problems. I was going to play around with it a bit tonight and i noticed that the drive letter i assigned to it (B:) was missing. So i go into disk management and it ...
Good point... and yes I am Windows XP Thanks, disabling audio in bios resolved the PCI slot issue (not sure why, really, but I'll move on). I do have a new problem now, so here is my update. Onboard drivers are disabled, and my system recognized the new card. However, I got an error message trying ...
I think it is still a little unclear what you're aiming for here, since your current setup shouldn't have a problem with most games. If you're just looking for increasing your overall enjoyment of your computer, a bigger hard drive, a nicer case, or quieter fans are probably just as worthy of an up...
I'd upgrade your monitor first. A good monitor can still seem good 5-10 years later. You'd get more out of a monitor than anything with that rig. You would get more out of an MVA/PVA or IPS at 1600x1200, 1920x1200 or 1900x1080 than you would upgrading your guts. The problem here is that i did that ...
Ok, After some of the comments here, and the advice of friends at work, i have come up with a 3rd update option: update 3: MB: Asus M3A78-EM (basically a Micro-ATX version of the previous AMD board) CPU: AMD Athlon X2 BE 2300 (45W low power, 1.9 GHz) HDD: Samsung Spinpoint F1 1TB (2 of these) I' d t...
Hey guys, Getting ready for some upgrade action with the income taxes, and i'm trying to decide which way to go. I've got about $300 i can spend. I've also got all of the spare parts necessary for second system except CPU and Motherboard. My intent is to take the lower end CPU and MB and put them in...
My best is this current setup. A Core2Duo E4300 1.8 GHz overclocked to 3.15 GHz. I honestly think the CPU will do higher too. The motherboard is holding it back. Maybe my next upgrade will allow me to test its limits.
Ok, well i don't have a spare computer at the moment to play around with, so that's why i'm inclined to use the VMWare method. Also my wife would kill me if i got rid of windows, so that's out. I suppose i'll just have to get rid of Ubuntu on there, and go with a more basic UNIX OS. I'm hoping to ge...
Ok, I've been working this new job for about a year now. It requires a limited amount of of UNIX use on a daily basis. I have of course been wanting to delve into the depths on UNIX for a long time, but have been too scared. Now i have no choice. Using it every day (in a limited capacity, vi, du, fi...
Slide out motherboard tray? I haven't seen a case with one of those in a while. Too bad there's other features of the case that i don't like. Hopefully they come out with more cases with that tray, they are soooo nice!
I was at LSA Anaconda from May to September that year. I'm not sure if I can say where I was at on the base, but we were behind some pretty tall walls. All the mortars flew over us on their way to the really well lit parts of the base. I was there from January to June. You also has a "Hush hus...
US Navy, 1997-2007, honorably discharged. Spent 4 months in Balad, Iraq, in 2005 doing communications support. Whoa, what a small world. I Spent my five months, in Balad, in 2005. Doing Comms support. LSA Anaconda? I was there until August of that year. Camp Anaconda! I remember it so well because ...
