    Half life 2 performance data avaliable?

    I thought H-L2 at E3 was run with a prototype Radeon 9800 with a 256 MB DDR2-module on it. And it didn't run THAT well (detail at max 6x FSAA and all)...whatever I'll see it when it comes out. I'll even buy it...98 days left...

    ever ruin a cpu/ram/mobo just by upping the fsb?

    I once flashed a new BIOS on my overly expensive Asus A7-V motherboard. Put the FSB on 200 instead of 100...fried like a potatoe...boy did my head turn red then...everything else however miraculously survived...only the board fried...it's hanging on the wall next to this desk hehe...

    Dead computer parts. Do you keep them for no reason?

    I've got my original Asus A7-V which I fried once hanging on the wall with a working 800 MHz cpu on it. All my other old stuff still works and is boxed. A 286, a 486, my sister has the P120...going to build a 98se-based DOS-game system soon...still need some parts for that one...but hardly...

    weird sound card problem

    The Audigy can be very itchy. Are you using WindowsXP? Make sure SP-1's installed. Creative cards are also very annoying what ACPI and IRQs are concerned. I haven't had any trouble since I installed SP-1....I'm even running beta drivers at the moment. Before SP-1, I tried everything and nothing...

    *** Official ASUS A7N8X/Deluxe (nForce2) Thread ***

    Hi this is my first post. I've got a A7n8x pcb 1.04 with bios 1.004 and since I installed SP-1 for XP I've had 0 problems. I'm planning on throwing in a 3200+ or switching to a P4 system with HT. Sorry for being lame, BTW.
