    ATi CAT 3.8's due out on Wednesday :)

    This first feature would be _really_ usefull. (This goes for any vid card maker) So many games these days hate certain features whilst others deal with them fine. I play several different games and they all require settings to be changed or they don't work, full stop or crawl along with settings...

    Half Life 2 in like...Months, But Max Payne 2 now!

    I thought the first game was excellent. I loved the way the story was propelled and really enjoyed the John Woo style action. Second one doesn't have anything ground breaking with it. Re-vamped graphices and a completely different looking max payne... I too am not in the least excied about it...

    Half Life realism and immersion...

    Just been watching all the Half Life bink movies. They are excellent. The main thing that impresses me is the whole world/environment its so realistic and organic. Much like Max Payne you can interact with most of the environment in some way. In hl2 it seems you can do this to an even...

    Bush Takes Responsibility for Iraq Claim !

    Ehe, reading through this thread is both amusing and depressing. So many people seem to beleive that this war of aggression was to get WoMD and all the rest of the tripe bush's cronies concocted. I should try and stay on topic though. First time I've come into this forum. 8)

    Bush Takes Responsibility for Iraq Claim !

    Read here: Chemical Weapons Use in Iraq A factual but sadly true part: " 1980: Iraq invades Iran, touching off 8 year war in which both sides use chemical weapons. United States backs Iraq against Iran's Islamic revolutionary government " Also: " Iran is not the only enemy that Saddam...

    Half Life 2 delayed, damn ID spoils it for everyone again!

    This is fine by me if it's true... I'm sick of games being released to early. I buy them. Then proceed to wait 6 months for patches to fix major bugs and issues and then I can play them again. BF1942 still won't let me play at 800-600 at 100Hz unlike every other game on my pc. \ Raven shield is...

    Is Win2k advanced server significantly worse than Win2kP for gaming?

    As far as backround services go I've tweaked that. I was just wondering if their is any big difference in how windows operates the hardware and drivers as opposed to win2k Pro. I agree that I may not have the horspower especialyl with a cpu with 100mhz fsb. I picked up my new gigabyte mobo...
