I have the Customizer (http://pckeyboards.stores.yahoo.net/customizer.html). At first I thought it might hamper me in games, but I don't think there has been any degradation in my performance. It is extremely loud, though. Love it!

Agreed. Nothing can touch the STALKER series for atmosphere and immersion.

I have a code if anyone is interested. EDIT: Code has been given away.

Couldn't agree more. I loved the entire franchise.

Another thing about FEAR I've noticed as I'm playing through it again is that music is incredible. It's not in your face, but it's always there, consistently varied between levels, and always the right amount to induce dread as you move along. But it also seems designed to pump you up and want...

How long are the episodes compared to GTA IV? Combined do they provide about the same amount of gameplay as the original game?

So far I'm just using a weight mod (this one: http://stalker.filefront.com/file/Carry_Max_75KG_Mod;109203). But I upped the values to allow for 105KG. There's another value that prevents you from running after a certain weight. I made that 115KG. Also, you have to change the name of the...

I got a game from GoG for the first time yesterday. I have to agree that it's completely painless and fast. This is the way digital distribution should be.

Ever since I did a reformat of WinXP Pro a few months back, my external hard drive (an older Maxtor OneTouch) has been hard-locking my system when doing transfers to or from the drive. I thought it might be a FireWire issue, so I switched it to USB, and it's still doing the same thing. I don't...

Has anyone tried using a PCI-E 2.0 graphics card in this motherboard? Is it compatible?

Problem fixed. My partition table was borked on that drive, but RIPLinux and testdisk fixed it.

I had to reformat and reinstall XP Pro this morning. I have two SATA drives. Before the reformat, I placed important files (including all of my e-mail) on the second SATA drive. I reformatted and reinstalled Windows, and even installed the SATA drivers during the install. The drive I installed...

I'm also interested in doing this -- upgrading from a 3500+ here. A post on the previous page suggested these boards don't support the X2s, but I'm seeing conflicting reports. Anyone know for sure?

I've been leaving my UPS (APC Back-UPS 1000 RS) on 24/7, but now I'm wondering if I should be turning it off when I shut down my PC for the night. Does turning it off and on place any extra stress on the battery?

Same here. I'm also having the slow boot problem, but on the primary controller tab for the Nvidia SATA controller in device manager, Enable Command Queuing is turned off (in fact, it's grayed out, so I can't even turn it on if I wanted to). Any other ideas? EDIT: Updating to the newest...
