Deus Ex. Best. Game. Ever.

I don't think there are any good models; it's all luck of the draw. Get a good one and it'll last 5 years or more. Get a bad one and you've seen what happens. Hard drives fail - it's a fact of life. I work as a PC repair tech and it happens all the time, on all brands and models, old...

16 hours of Orthos and 14 of Memtest86+ is good, but I would not assume your OC is 100% stable. I have seen Orthos / Prime error out after 16 or more hours of testing many times, same goes for Memtest. I would check out MemTest Pro (HCI labs IIRC). I've found it to be superior to...

== Edit == Nevermind, sorry can't help ya, here's a bump.

Well FWIW, I ordered mine on Jan 1st... 2-3 days ago they said my shipping date would be the 20th. Last night I checked and the status is now 'shipped'. I know there's no way to know for sure... and there was another guy here on AT who ordered like Jan 4th (3 days after me!) and got his...

SirOblivious -- I can tell you this... from my experience with my XFX 6800 GT, a lot of performance problems are due to the drivers. From reading on various forums, the consensus is pretty unanimous on the issue -- the driver quality for the 6800 cards just isn't there yet. I would highly...

Not to clutter the thread, but I ordered mine on the 1st... and it still says "In Production" on Dell's site :( Anyway, glad you're enjoying it... I only have my imagination at this point.

I just got the exact same stuff earlier this week :D I tried the Soundstorm for a day or two and didn't like it. It just sounded hollow, kinda flat. Put my Audigy2 back in and the difference is huge. But to each his own. My chip is 100% stable at 2.4GHz (200x12) -- Primed it for 2 nights...

Snake Eater huh? I used to think MGS was cool until I saw some stuff that was just wrong, including this.

I've always heard that "myth" preached like it was gospel, kinda cool to see it's not true. Although I'm with the guys who can't understand why anyone (esp. an intelligent power user) would use Win98 these days, even if it gains you 1000 points. Just not worth the tradeoff in most cases... and...

Be careful when you lump Deus Ex into the same "FPS" heap with the rest of those games. Deus Ex is First Person Stealth before Shooter. If you can't tell I'm a Deus Ex fanatic.

The 8kha+ ruled back in the day, but as others have said, don't waste your time with either of those boards now... unless you can get it for $20 and just want to have something to play with.

You guys should edit your posts. Telling someone to "eat a d*ck" is probably enough for a suspension around here.

LOL exactly. Deus Ex is one of the greatest games ever made. Can't wait for part 2.

I suggest the Catalyst 3.1's. There are newer ones (3.2's) but I've had problems with the 3.2's. Just head to ATi.com or Rage3d.com.
