    The BIG TEN YEAR ANNIVERSARY IS COMING UP OMG!

    According to an interview on a podcast, it's still "2-3 years away". :rolleyes:

    Infuriating motherboard/PSU problem

    Had a PSU failure recently (exploded). I RMA'ed it (enermax noisetaker 600w) and got a new Noisetaker II. I hooked it up and it wouldn't fully power up my motherboard (DFI Lanparty NF4 SLI-DR). Got standby LEDs, but hitting the power switch would only make it power up for a split second. The new...

    Ad-aware SE professional vs AVG Anti-Spyware

    Ad-Aware is utterly useless these days. The ones you need are SpyBot, Spy Sweeper and Spyware Doctor (always picks up the most stuff).

    PSU went up in smoke, did it take my mobo with it?

    It's a PIB so should be covered by AMD. I hooked up my new PSU to my dad's PC and it powers up fine, so I can take that out of the equation. I also tested my drives and sound card in his PC and they were OK. It seems quite likely that it is the motherboard. I'll see if I can borrow a PCI...

    PSU went up in smoke, did it take my mobo with it?

    Ah, I might look at this again... I did connect one to the CPU fan connector, but it may not have had the necessary 3 wires

    PSU went up in smoke, did it take my mobo with it?

    Hello all Last week my Enermax Noisetaker 600w SLi exploded with a rather impressive cloud of orange sparks and smoke when I tried to switch it on... I RMA'ed it and just got a nice new Noisetaker II today. I hooked it all up, and my motherboard's flea power LEDs come on, as does the...

    You're not referring to "the project", are you? that's nothing to do with crysis.

    Anybody beat Far Cry on Realistic skill level?

    I completed it on Veteran without any cheats or quicksaving. That was enough for me.

    WinXP to get DX10

    That is the most blatantly fabricated bullshit I've seen on the inq in a long time.

    JOIN THE BOYCOTT FOR BATTLEFIELD 2142!

    Nah, it would take too much time and effort to mod BF2 into something like that. ;) I bet the next attempt at keeping the franchise alive will be some sort of alternate history 1950s setting (which seems to be flavour of the month right now). I must say Battlefield Bad Company looks...

    JOIN THE BOYCOTT FOR BATTLEFIELD 2142!

    I'm boycotting it to the max. EA is the very epitome of the money-hungry corporation, and DICE are just a bunch of amateurs.

    High res screenshots from that ps3 game, not impressed

    Looks fine to me. The PS3 doesn't have a huge amount of RAM to play with. GPU power is probably also a lot more limited than people assume.

    o.O Far Cry Vengeance coming to Wii

    Those are some BAD graphics. The 360 version wasn't too hot either. The water was nice, but the models and textures were puke.

    Linux OCing versus Windows OCing?

    Just because it boots up doesn't mean it's stable.
