    Source / Steam games online - hang / freeze / lag

    RO is indeed a UT mod; Run through steam. Being a steam app, I have to have steam running while playing it. My guess is that steam is periodicly choking my bandwidth. Could be a port issue or something with the router, but in the past my steam games have played online fine with the same...

    Source / Steam games online - hang / freeze / lag

    Its definitly something steam related; I fired up red orchestra and it did something similar. I used skype while playing a hl2 mod last night, and each time the game hung (hanged?), my skype would cut out. Its almost as if the bandwidth is getting completely choked. This problem started...

    Source / Steam games online - hang / freeze / lag

    Unfortunately its not that; My issue happens in multiple games (zombie master, insurgency) on every server / map.

    Source / Steam games online - hang / freeze / lag

    This is not the popular hl2 freezing/stuttering issue; While playing HL2 mods online (+ other online steam games?, cant recall, will test when i get home), every 45sec/minute or so I will get what looks like server lag where everyone freezes, but I can still move around (until I warp back to...

    Newegg - GeCube X1950XT 512mb - $170

    Anyone have a link to a decent review or have any more info on this card? I read somewhere that gecube used a pro board with xt core, or something of that nature.

    Command and Conquer 3 connection issues

    Playing online, usually with friend hosting a 2vs2 game; I always connect to friend (yellow radio symbol thing), however, 7/10 people that join the game always stay at the telephone icon stage (hence we cant start playing) with me. We have to constantly kick people and hope that someone will...

    Hanns g HW-223DPB 22" LCD monitor.

    Go to http://www.hannsg.com/us/ and look at it under the products section. Says 16.2 m display colors and 800:1 contrast ratio. What do you think about x2gen 22" as an alternative?

    Hanns g HW-223DPB 22" LCD monitor.

    I have a 19" ws hanns-g that has worked well. Unfortunately the stand kind of sucks, and it broke while I was trying to adjust it. After catching it it now has a 2" black blot and 1" wide unviewable vertical line down the right side. If you buy it, be careful when adjusting the tilt!

    I love Newegg...

    It amuses me how people complain about lack of forward progress over the weekend. Sat/Sun are not business days, how do you expect anything to happen? Newegg is as fast as you can get online, and their customer service is unmatched IMO. I can't see how anyone could have a negative opinion...
