I got so goddamn annoyed with nothing working that I made a site while I was on holiday: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/alexander.macfarlane/problems/
I'd like people to have a look at it even though I know it's crap. But it's more detailed than anything I probably would have typed here.
When I got home I thought maybe I could fix some of the problems by patching some of the games, and when I upgraded to the 28.32 Detonators things looked better. But in the couple of days I've been back all I can do is add games to the list. There is literally not a game I have had installed that hasn't crashed, had sound issues, graphical issues or some other annoying issue.
My full spec including useless stuff can be found here: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/alexander.macfarlane/problems/setup1.htm
Games that need to be added to the site are:
Tribes 2: Ran fine for a month before I went on holiday, but since I got back it keeps locking up.
Resident Evil 3: Just locks up after playing all the intro movies.
If you look at the site you will notice that crackly sound is in a lot of games. While playing IWar2 yesterday I noticed that it's only in the left speaker. Also my MuseXL doesn't fit properly which could cause the crackling but works fine in everything else but the games with the problems.
If anyone saw my original posts when I first got this setup going about the feeling of underachievement in RTCW and MoHAA, I would have to say that it's still there. This setup really doesn't run much faster than my brother's: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/alexander.macfarlane/problems/setup2.htm
Sure this setup can speed through old games, but it's not much better than my brother's in games less than 12 months old and only a bit faster in new games.
[Crap edited out about planned graphics and/or sound upgrades because I think I'm starting to ramble]
Anyway, opinions?
