    What's the story on Brothers in Arms for the PC??

    I know alot of people had high hopes for this game and yesterday was the release date, but I haven't seen much action about it in the forums. I will eventually pick it up but I want to see what others think. Are any of you maniacs playing it and if so, come clean.

    Visiting Arizona soon, need vacation advice!

    I went in early March which is pretty much when you're going. We arrived and there was about 4 inches of snow on top and very very foggy. Quite abnormal for the canyon as I was told. We started hiking down around 9am and by about noon the sun was out and it was already warming up to the...

    Visiting Arizona soon, need vacation advice!

    I agree that if you don't plan on hiking the GC, one day on the South Rim should do just fine for you. You should try hiking down via the South Kaibab Trail for maybe an hour or so and then turn around and come back up so you're not too tired. This should be feasible if there's no snow on the...

    Can I replace my stock heatsink with an aftermarket one after using Arctic Silver Ceramique?

    Yeah, I removed the thermal pad on the stock heatsink before putting the Ceramique on the chipset, so the only thing I need to worry about is getting the Ceramique cleaned off.

    Can I replace my stock heatsink with an aftermarket one after using Arctic Silver Ceramique?

    Okay, thanks fellas. From what everyone is saying (and I've posted this thread on other forums also) I should be okay. Someone said I'd be able to clean the top of the CPU with some rubbing alcohol and a cotton cloth and it would be fine. I just have to be careful when taking out the stock...

    Can I replace my stock heatsink with an aftermarket one after using Arctic Silver Ceramique?

    I was going to install a Swiftech MCX6400-V heatsink on my A64 3400 and DFI Lan Party mobo. However, the backplate that comes with the DFI board doesn't work with the aftermarket heatsink, but I can order one from Swiftech. In the meantime, I've gone ahead and installed my CPU with the...

    Jeeze, you're pretty negative, aren't you. :P Chron of Riddick is my choice fot GotY. Check out the reviews . . . it is BETTER than hl2. No, it is NOT based on a movie . . . it is a PREsequel (so the game designeers had FREEDOM to make a better game than any Riddick movie . . . . Even Pitch...

    GeForce 6 series video processor OFFICIAL THREAD

    Currently running a 9600Pro, so I'm anticipating a nice upgrade. I'm actually doing a full upgrade and, coincidentally, have ordered some of the very same components in your sig - A64 3400+ Newcastle, DFI LP UT nF3 250gb mobo, same vid card and some OCZ RAM. Hope this rig rocks. I apologize...

    GeForce 6 series video processor OFFICIAL THREAD

    Can someone summarize what this thread is all about? I don't want to wade through 60 pages of posts. The reason I'm asking is that I just got my BFG 6800GT OC yesterday and it's unopened sitting on my desk and I want to know if this video encoder issue is something that might prompt me to...

    Chronicles of Riddick Developers Cut - *GREAT GAME* *MORE PICS HERE NOW!*

    I just picked up CoR yesterday and am psyched to play this puppy. I also ordered the parts for my new rig a few days ago - A64 3400+ and a BFG 6800GT OC - which should help in playing this game. I don't think my current XP1800+ and 9600Pro are up to the task with some of these newer games...

    Performance differences between AGP v. PCI-E

    I guess I'd have to decide whether or not a 6800GT OC is going to cut it in 18 months. I sure as hell hope so. That's alot of coin to drop on a vid card to have it not be up to the task in such a short period.

    Performance differences between AGP v. PCI-E

    I was all set to order the components for my socket 754 rig: A64 3400+ (Newcastle - socket 754) DFI UT nF350 mobo 2x512 OCZ Platinum Rev. 2 BFG 6800GTOC And then I started reading a bit more and thought that maybe I should get an nF4 mobo and go with a PCI-E graphics card...

    Which has better performance: A64 3400 or A64 3500?

    In terms of better gaming performance, can a 754 3400(Newcastle or Clawhammer) keep up with a 939 90nm 3500? I understand the differences between 754 and 939 and the whole upgradability path issue, but I just want to know whether one CPU dominates the other in terms of raw performance. I...

    girls with lower back tattoos

    If I can take this thought one step further, tattoos for the most part exhibit a sign of weakness and insecurity, a cry for attention. What other reasons do people get them in obvious places other than to say to the world, "Hey, look at me." These people are all sheep and easily impressionable...

    forget politics, this is a bit sad

    Getting to the point of what started this thread, since the U.S. is one of the neighbors in the neighborhood we call earth, I think it's only important for the rest of the world to know that many people in our country did support Kerry. This is public knowledge and no secret anyway. I don't...

    Overweight passengers put airlines in fuel crunch

    It seems like a combination of lifestyle, diet and American capitalism and consumption. How many fastfood restaurants open each year in the U.S. alone? Everything has become so accessible. The dilemna is when do you have a balance of convenience v. overkill?

    Why short women like really tall guys..

    I think it's just consistent with the laws of nature. Look at lions. The male leader is typically so because of his size. And he has his way with all the females. I realize this is not consistent throughout the animal kingdom. Aren't female spiders bigger than males? I think with...

    Hot Sauce Opinions Wanted

    For the hottest, my vote goes for Dave's Insanity Hot Sauce. The first time I tried it was in a restaurant - put about 5-6 drops on a tortilla chip, thinking it's no big deal. Within seconds, the beads of sweat just started pouring from my forehead. I mean it was downright uncomfortable. I...
