    Anyone know of any no-grenade BF2 servers ?

    8800GT to 8800GTS (G92)?

    So I have 5 days left on my evga step up program. I rarely game at 1680x1050 resolution. But I do enjoy playing the new games that come out. I purchased my 8800GT for around 290 before rebate around December, when the GT's were selling like hot cakes. The GTS on EVGA's site is 359.99...

    CoD 4 graphics problems

    Hmm. Is AA turned on or off? I had a problem with COD4 in which my graphics were corrupted when I zoomed in with the weapons scope. I managed to get half way through the game without using a scope, untill the level in which I had to use the stinger. I found out that I had to turn...

    GeForce 8800GT Best Prices / In-Stock Listing

    Agreed... preordered a stock evga myself. I feel I didnt need an OC version for my Opteron 185, but it will be a great replacement for my 7800GT especially at 1680x1050 at max detail in Oblivion, COH: OF. Now Im hoping I can get the GT by this Friday......................

    Possible BF3 info leaked!!!

    Okay, thanks for the clarification. It should say 80 players max per map. That would have been clearer, since the beginning of the sentence is in reference to maps.

    Possible BF3 info leaked!!!

    Why is it capped at 40 players? 64player maps are already too small. A downgrade from 64 to 40? You think the next one would support at least 128player online.

    What is the difference 939 sockets?

    Toledo has twice as much L2 Cache than Manchester. Which provides a performance boost. Example: Toledo 2.4Ghz - 2Mb L2 Cache (1 Mb per core) Manchestor 2.4Ghz - 1Mb L2 Cache (512 Kb per core)

    Warm: Fujitsu 36GB 15k u320 80pin - $40

    It's the Perc 4e / DC, thats the Dell version of the LSI 320-2E. Those are good deals, I have 2 Fujitsu MAU3147NP's in RAID0. I was thinking about picking up a couple of the 73GB models, would I be able to combine the 73GB and the 147GB in a raid array or would they have to be the same size?

    Will an old Pentium 4 work in a newer motherboard?

    It should be able to, depending on the FSB of the P4. If it is 533, there might be fewer motherboards you can run it in compared to a P4 with 800Mhz FSB. P965 and the P975 should be able to run the Prescott. You have to look at the mobo makers websites to find out which CPU runs on...

    8800GTX & AMD X2 4600+?

    Im considering buying an 8800GTX and game at 1680 x 1050 resolution. I was wondering would my X2 4600+ bog down the 8800GTX or would it be fine? The X2 4600+ is roughly equal to a Core2Duo 6300 - 6400. TIA

    i have an 810e chipset motherboard, how fast of a processor can i put in it?

    The fastest PIII processor would be the Coppermine 1Ghz S370 PIII. You would have to get a 100Mhz FSB PIII (Coppermines). Those range in speed from maybe 500Mhz to 1 Ghz. You should be able to run basic apps and win xp with those.

    X2 4600+ Has Problems During Boot

    I recently purchased my X2 4600+, about a week ago. My rig specs are in my sig. My problems started when I installed the X2, I got to the desktop, and when I rebooted, it gave me a blank black screen. I used fixboot or fixmbr from the windows XP cd, and that seemed to solve the...

    Should I buy a x2 4200+ or an x2 4600+?

    I got the 4600+. Still waiting to ship from Monarch. Was debating between a 4400+, 4600+ & 4800+, but I thought the 4600+ was perfect in between (at least price range wise) after re-reading a couple of the archived benchmarks from Anand last year. I'll say just get what you can afford...

    Monarch has dropped prices on 939 and AM2 cpus, nice prices

    Thanks OP in for a 4600+ for $260 Was going to wait till they dropped to $220. But a 40 dollar difference isnt that much especially since I spend 20 bucks a pop for gas every week. Its a hot deal in my opinion especially for Cali residents since Monarch has no sales tax and shipping...

    New CPU for old D810E2 MB

    I dont think the i810 chipset supports P4's?. I know that my i810 chipset only supported 100FSB max. I bought a 1.2Ghz FSB 133 and it defaulted to only 900Mhz. And the fastest 100FSB coppermine I think would be the 1.2GHz Celeron S370.

    Whats sufficient for todays games? CPU wise

    Unfortuantely I asked the motherboard maker to make one with AGP, but they didnt cause it wasnt economically feasible to make one custom board for me at that time S370 was long dead, and S478 was already obsolete. I would have paid $100 to probably solder on an AGP board and do some bios...

    Whats sufficient for todays games? CPU wise

    I had a Tualatin 1.4, and yes it can play Battlefield 2 Demo. It ran without video lag on a FX 5700LE PCI at medium settings in a 64 player server. But this is with 1GB of ram and Im sure Im more likely to be PCI bus limited than CPU. I doubt it would run Special Forces esp Night Maps...
