    yes, sir. on both. pxc - wondering why such a simple fix is so "hard" ---------- Someone who is having the problem with bad shadows (6800/7800): post your system.cfg and i'll show you how to fix it.

    Maybe you should clean your monitor if you can't see shadows in that picture. :P

    You mean by not supporting DST? :P Futuremark implemented it a lot better than Crytek did.

    I'm worried about you guys. Blocky shadows are trivial to "fix". 7800GT, 81.84 drivers: http://img471.imageshack.us/my.php?image=farcry0000160012005cm.jpg woohoo HDR. ;)

    This is a Mach Speed manufacturer's rebate, it's horrible no matter where you buy it.

    ~~~~~~ AMD Sempron 3100+ 64-bit Socket 754 OEM Processor ~~~~ $59

    semi-related: if you have a Fry's B&M nearby, check the components section. I saw retail boxed Athlon 64 2800+ CPUs for $98. It's $99.90 online: http://shop2.outpost.com/product/4018732 That's $38-$39 extra for 512KB L2 vs 256KB L2 (both run at 1.8GHz), a heatsink and a 3 year warranty...

    256MB MP3 Player/USB Drive $19 After MIR

    LOL, the warranty will be over by the time the rebate is paid, if ever. Mach Speed has a horrible track record of paying rebates. I used certified mail/return receipt for $50 in Mach Speed MP3 rebates since it's almost certain i'll have to make a TD rebate guarantee claim to get anything...

    BURNING HOT - Quake 4 - $38

    What are you talking about? Of course there's multiplayer. Read the posts above. You can't play online with the "free" version (aka pirated version). --- I think the single player game is pretty good. After I finish it hopefully the Q4 servers will be pretty active. :D

    NOT HOT: newegg now ships UPS by default

    I had the same thing happen to me before from OM/UPS. UPS delivered my memory to a completely different city (3 miles away) then gave me the run around. They told me the address (which obviously wasn't mine and was different from the address on the package) and who signed for it. Then UPS...
