Pfft, and it's free, I mean, what's up with that? They should start paying ME to play their games if they take this long to put something out....Hell, I'll probably just pirate it, that'll teach em to take so long to put out free content...
I actually liked the game too, but it did get a bit repetitive after awhile. This sums it up well: whenever my girlfriend would look over to see what i'm doing and FC2 was up she'd say, "oh, you playing the driving game again?"
Do you think this ram would play well with what I already have?

I couldn't get the HD bit to work? Anything special I need to do? I can't open the files, windows asks if I want to search online for an appropriate program...
Thank you Dr. Solog! I was mostly wondering if the overclocking possibility would be that much higher than the regular e8400. I'm new to overclocking so wasn't sure. Just getting ready to put together my new build, to justify the money spent on it my only upgrade path will be overclocking for...
Thanks for the replies. Would I just be able to pop out some of the extra drive bays and toss in a fan? Or maybe pop a hole in the top of the case and add a fan (mine is an older one with no top vent)?
I just got all the parts for my new build and was looking at the case I had from my old system and it looks like it will be a tight fit. Was wondering if you think it's big enough for proper cooling? Any suggestions on how to mod it for better cooling or should I just look at something bigger...
Anyone know a good program to calibrate your speakers? There was a really good one in the original software but when I updated the drivers it doesn't work anymore. Thanks!
I've had one for a while now and love it!!! I did have to reinforce my desk a little and it's not so hot for LAN parties weighing in just shy of 100 lb's. But if you have the video card/s to run it at a high resolution, it just can't be beat.
Thanks for all the advice so far. So seeing as it's not really a low end build I don't mind splurging a little more and finishing it off with some decent ram. So we have the mushkin XP 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 recommendation for $115 after rebate at newegg, any other...
So this is my new gaming build and the last thing I need (so my credit card hopes) is some RAM. I see OCing as the most probable upgrade path in the future for me so please keep that in mind. I'm just not sure what would be the best and most compatible with my system.
It is mainly a gaming...
okay, now i just need RAM (for probable overclocking) and maybe a some cooling ideas. HSF suggestions and maybe some aftermarket coolers for the 4870s? Anything else I need? Are the xfi soundcards any better than the 2zs platinum I have now?
So just splurged on that 25% cashback deal and picked up the mobo and CPU, still feeling a little lightheaded from the hit to my credit card. In the home stretch now though! Anyone else want to chime in on the PSU and RAM? Will probably just pick them up from New Egg or ZZF, thanks again for...
there were 2 sapphires for $309 and $10 shipping. So I got the 25% from the cashback and 10% from that paypal thing that ended today. Think I just lucked out and saw them right when they came up :)
Well due to my seemingly impulsive nature I have 2 4870s on the way. So I have updated my original post and am now looking for suggestions on a crossfire capable mobo for an E8400 along with an appropriate psu and eveything else listed. I'll probably keep both vidcards as my 24" monitor can go...
Davegod - mobo's I just pulled them from a couple of other build threads as I have no idea what's good for intel. As for the ram, it was under $90 with some rebate so why not get the faster stuff if its pretty much the same as the slower stuff? If there is a reason to get something slower i...
So now trying to decide where best to put my ebay/paypal discount to work. which would be the smartest buy a e8400 wolfdale for $195 with no shipping and a sapphire 4870 for $330 & $10 shipping. I still have my paypal 10% off coupon and 19% off using live.com. I'm just not sure which one is...
Trying to decide between a e8400 wolfdale for $195 with no shipping and a sapphire 4870 for $330 & $10 shipping. I still have my paypal 10% off coupon. I'm just not sure which one is most likely to drop in price in the next month anyways???
So I was just going to upgrade my system then I got in on that ebay deal and bought two 4870s for $425 so now i ended up doing a full rebuild. I see OCing as the most probable upgrade path in the future.
It is mainly a gaming rig and I'm keeping lots of stuff from my current setup. No...
Thanks for the input guys! It's looking more and more like a full rebuild. I was planning on seeing which graphics card (the new nvidia one coming out or the ATI one already out) wins takes the cake and getting that with my tax refund. I'll probably post a new rig question in the next two...
So I decided to go for 8gb of ram with all the deals going on as part of a gaming rig update.
Right now I have an Opty 165 on a ASUS A8R32-MVP Deluxe mobo and am looking at:
XMS2 4GB PC-6400 DDR2

and
4GB DDR2 PC6400 DUAL A-DATA...
Thanks for your help so far! I found I can run both sticks if I just use channel B. If I try to use dual channel no post. I downloaded and ran memtest 86 for about 9 hours with no errors, but the ram did get pretty toasty. Any ideas? Are there any settings I should tweak to get the other...
I'm at work right now. But let me make sure I understand. Try each stick separately in each of the slots? Should my computer be able to start up regardless of what slot a single stick of ram is in? I thought it had to be in a certain slot if I was running a single stick?
Could there be any settings I would need to change to get my comp working using both sticks or would it just be a problem with my Mobo. Everything was working fine for a month or so after the initial build. I can fire up the computer with either stick in the B1 slot but when I put a stick in...
Not too worried about silence with my 1900xt in there ;-) I was looking for a mix of quiet and cooling and considering ocing my opty 165 so which fan would be best for that?
