They shouldn't be. I also can't find any info on consoles manufactured 10-20-2008...so something fishy is going on. I double checked to make sure the serials matched, and they do, so it was packaged and sold as new stock with a zephyr board. So to anyone else out there, stay clear of...

Well I thought I would try my luck and pick up a Christmas present today. Went over to Best Buy and picked up a 60gb pro, lot# 0843X manufactured: 10-20-2008 team: FDOU. Opened up the box, console is marked 203w 16.5a, PS 203w 16.5a, and on flashlight inspection, the original heat-pipe...

There has probably been a good amount of fixes/tweaks rolled in since 180.42, you might as well run the official driver.

I've been having fun with the game so far, of course it has some problems, but what game doesn't? The combat can get pretty intense playing on hardcore, and actually planning things out can go a long way, especially on later missions. Most of the weapons I have used so far have been great, even...

I remember having this issue a while ago when I played through it again, I think patch 1.4 on vista has joystick set as the default control scheme. Either do select default in control options, and exit the game and restart, or just manually bind the mouse in your config.

Go to Manage 3D Settings in the drivers, and scroll down to Multi-display/Mixed-GPU Acceleration. Set it to, "Single Display Performance Mode," if it is not already. Then set Vsync off. Also make sure Threaded Optimization is set to, "Auto."

Have you tried setting single display performance mode in the drivers? Also force vsync off, then run the benchmark again. *I was getting lowish scores at first until I made these adjustments, now I hit about 14.4k.

Thanks for the advice guys, I upped the NB voltage a notch so I can monitor the temps and see if I need to add additional cooling. These sticks I have now are memtest/prime/pi stable at 1.8v @ 800 so I'm hoping I won't need any more than the 2.1v they are set to now. As far as I can tell the...

Hello all, I was wondering if someone could help me out with a pending upgrade here. Right now I'm running 2 x 1GB sticks of DDR2 800, 4-4-4-12 @ 2.1v. I've ordered an additional set of these sticks now that the price has come down to $37 after MIR. The ones I have now are Rev 2.1 and they use...

Huge thumbs up, I just built a quad and went to 3.0 as well, and super-pi was failing 4M (Vista 64). I couldn't find anything to point me in the right direction, but now I know its Prime and Pi stable, nice work!

Make sure to upgrade your guns at each level, and pick a damage type to mod it with. At the museum a firefox would be your best bet, load it up with ignite strength to ensure the damage radius is always debuffing mobs. I believe you can also get a cluster rifle at that point, which should work...

I've been playing since early beta and I'm still having just as much fun with it now that I had when I first started. There is a ton of customization and variety when it comes to your character, and a little planning can go a long way. Its the game I've been waiting for all year, the one...

If you signed up normally (IE: without the preorder key) you should be getting an invite for each email address you have used now. I got a couple extras that I sent to friends.

The people complaining about the graphics must not be playing the same game that I am. On DX10 with everything maxed, the game looks incredible, and on DX9 the game still looks pretty good, especially when you're swarmed with enemies, the ground is burning/shocking/phasing, and particles are...

Earlier today while playing some Halo 3, I stuck a plasma grenade on a guy from half-way across the map. I was amazed that it stuck to him and said, "Wow that was a one in a million shot right there," and then he called me a, "Stupid Asian ni**er." :confused: I'm Caucasian with an East Coast...
