    Need a CoD4 server.cfg file

    I'm hosting a lan next week. I forgot to backup the server.cfg file. I really don't feel like creating a new one. If you have one that you could send me, that would be great. The mapcycle is the part I really need the most. Standard maps with different game types mixed in to keep it interesting...

    Team Fortress on LAN

    Ok, I know it's possible to use the same account for multiple players on a lan. I was wondering how does one change their name in a lan game? With Counter Strike, it's right there in the menu. But, there is no option in Team Fortress 2. Everyone has the same name with a number corresponding to...

    mp3 player for podcasts

    I listen to a lot of podcasts. But, not much music. I don't want to spend much money. I currently listen to them on my Palm with a 512mb memory card. So, as long as it has at least that much memory, I'm fine. The only thing it must do is, when it's shut off it should remember where it was at...

    I was asking for votes for my video. A lot of you gave mine possitive feedback and votes. And thanks to you all who did. But, there are starting to be more jerks, going the other way with it. Leaving snide comments and voting against mine. I thought anandtech members would stick together more...

    Video Games Saved Me!

    I was driving along and this big SUV ran a red light and pulled out in front of me. I slammed on the brakes and jerked the weel. This kept me from hitting that retard.

    Why no opengl vsync for nvida

    I have a 6800 and a 4200. When I play opengl games on either of them, I get that anoying tearing. I have vsync turned on in the diplay properties. But, that doesn't do anything. With ATI's display settings, there is a seperate setting for DirectX and Opengl. Is there something else I'm missing here?

    I'd like a processor upgrade from a 2700xp to a Pentium D. But I'd like to keep the price down. I don't want to have to buy new memory and graphics card. Which means no ddr2 and no PCIe. Anyone know if there are any older LGA775 boards that will work?

    I love these posts

    I'm sorry to pick on bcoupland. But, his was first I found. Come on guys, What makes you think that it wouldn't be good enough? It's only a notch or 2 below the best hardware you can buy right now. A new one pops up every day or two. Or are these posts more about bragging?
