    Sound Effect

    Check this sound out. The sound I'm looking for is nearly identical to this but it's a bit slower in speed and lower in pitch. I seem to hear it a lot in shows about space, atomic weapons, UFOs, Cold War, etc... I've looked around for it everywhere but no luck. :(

    Planetside

    I don't know how many of you around here used to play Planetside, but I thought I would give a heads up that there are changes to HA and MA coming up. I stopped playing a few months ago, but I think I'll resub for this. Lasher: reduced lash, faster ROF, reduced COF, increased clip size & AP...

    Optimizing FRAPs

    I've started recording gameplay footage with FRAPs (full version), but my framerate takes a serious hit. Right now, I've got one HD in my system but I bought another one that should arrive in a few days. Would recording to the second HD help out a lot? Is there anything else I can try to improve...

    IRC Dropping

    First, the disclaimer: I am a complete beginner to networking. I just bought a Linksys BEFSX41 router for my two computers, and now IRC drops constantly on both systems. I don't seem to be experiencing any problems while surfing, using TeamSpeak or playing games. I've updated my router to the...

    Top-End Video Cards

    I've been trying to put together a new build and the video card option is driving me crazy. I'm about to hire a monkey with a dartboard and let HIM pick one for me. Originally I was going with 7900GTs in SLI, but the more I read and shop around, the more options I find. My absolute limit is $600...

    Two New Systems

    I've built two new systems on Newegg and I'd like you guys to take a look at them and tell me what you think. I've built one based around an X2 4400+ (939) and one based around an X2 4600+ (AM2). Right now I'm just waiting on the impending release of Intel's Conroe and see where the AMD prices...

    BF2 freezing issues...

    I'm posting this here because this is probably the place with the most mature people around. So anyway... I've got a freezing issue with BF2. I have an Athlon 64 3500+, BFG 6800GT and 1GB of RAM. If I update the 6800GT drivers to the latest (77.72) OR try to increase any of the graphics...
