    X2 3800+ for a X2 4600+

    You?ve probably seen the recent price cuts leaked on Anandtech. I have an x2 3800+ and I was wondering if it would be ?worth it? to swap that CPU out for a 4600+ or 4800+ at the reduced price. I looked at the gaming benchmarks on this site and the improvement seems practically negligible...

    *official* Oblivion Thread, opinions?

    Does anybody know if/when the oblivion gates stop appearing?? Also, do they re-spawn? If you close all of them (40,50, 90 whatever) do they still keep re-appearing? I'm trying to finish the primary quest ASAP so I get to all the other cool side quests.

    New 7 series cards coming?

    Tell me about it. BTW I see they must have unbanned by IP address. Original poster, be careful whenh linking to them, they hate it when their ideas are 'stolen.'

    Racism In Oblivion

    With all the shenanagins surrounding the recent ESRB ratings change for hot coffee style nudity mods in Oblivion, I'm surprised that no one in the main-stream media has exploited the 'racism' in the Oblivion. In non-gamer terms, in Oblivion the player can choose to be either a white character...

    PSA: USE a download accelerator even if you have broadband!!

    I agree with the original poster for the reasons given. Personally I've tried all the free DAs out there, (LeechGet, star Downnloader, Fresh Download, net vampire, etc etc) GetRight worked the best by far, enough so that I gave in and bought it.

    I feel bad for my American friends and your underwhelming political system. Any democracy in which half the electorate (79 million citizens) decides not to vote is clearly broken. From here it looks like your party system is stagnant because there's no competition. You need more parties...

    HAH! Finally rid of WoW!

    Good call. I've always felt intimidated by MMOs because their highly addictive nature and they people they hook creates a 'creepy' reaction in me.

    HAH! Finally rid of WoW!

    For the record gentlemen, you *CAN* get your girlfriend to play games with you. But you must be prepared to 'sell' the game on the merits, and upgrade her computer if necessary. After learning about the strategy, squad tactics, and voice chat in Battlefield 2, my girlfriend plays just as...

    Whoa.. .I'm lost.

    And we all know motherboard manals aren't going to win any int'l prizes for literature any time soon. Besides figuring out the pins, my biggest pet peeve is 'why do they have to be so freakin small?!' You need smurf fingers to place the pins in that tight little space.

    reasons why the iraq constitution is destined to fail

    Bush estimates 30,000 Iraqis killed.

    Whatever reduces the Arab/Jewish population is a good thing. I've always argued whatever keeps the Middle East divided & in turmoil is ultimately in our interest. The only problem is this war has disttracted attention away from the urgent need to contain & eventually defeat China.

    reasons why the iraq constitution is destined to fail

    While some might call this part of is a jewish conspiracy, I think it's sound strategy to keep nations historically aligned against the West divided and leaderless, so I was pleased that Wolfowitz & co. did whatever did they to ensure its passage. /Edited due to original poor choice of words/

    Vid issues with BF2

    The BF2 game is supposedly poorly coded, so the slow-downs are likely related to your RAM. I have a 3000+ (stock speed) & a single 6600GT, and once I upgraded to 2GB of RAM my slow-downs disappeared. I run 1152x864 85Hz , with everything at medium except txture filtering (set to high) and...

    its Dec 1st, where is X1600XT?

    Woah woah woah you lost me gentlemen. Can you explain what's going on? I thought it was ATI's business plan to stop all production this fall. They were going to keep their stock afloat by simply paper-launching products every business cycle until someone notices.

    No Measurable Improvement Upgrading to 2GB of RAM

    I upgraded from 2 x 512 MB of Samsung RAM to 2 x 1024 of the same type. (Took out the 512 sticks). I went into the BIOS and made sure the timings were the same (Cas 2.5 3-3-8) and also verified this with cpuid. My problem my 3dMark05 score stayed almost the exact same, actually about 25...

    Get with it guys. He's said he wants a future-proofed video card. The only clear alternatives then are the nVidia 9800 GT and the Ati x2400.

    The 6600GT is dead, long live the 6600 with DDR2...

    Agree. I held a torch for them for awhile, now I don't even have them bookmarked. Today watching them in action is like the special olympics of online journalism.
