:rolleyes: Take the patronizing attitude and stick it up your ass. You weren't asked to participate in this thread from the first post down if your intentions were to cry Nvidia at every corner. I made it clear I wasn't interested, and just wanted opinions regarding the aforementioned cards. Of...

No, I simply prefer to support companies that have produced quality products that have served me well. the ASUS 9800XT I have in my machine right now has been excellent. I feel it's only fair that because of my experience with them, to continue supporting them, not simply jumping to the next...

Eh.... Waiting on the DX10 card from ATI could suck, depending upon when the ASUS version is released. Is there an ETA on it(R600 is it?)? Suppose I could atleast order the majority of the components and maybe a X1950 pro to tide me over.... Argh....

Need something that's going to run Armed Assault well, and my 9800XT isn't cutting it. Think the X1950XT makes the most sense for the moment. It's the cheapest of the 3, but has good performance.

I'm currently planning on building a new PC around Xmas. Want: Intel Conroe Core 2 Duo E6600 Corsair 2GB XMS2 PC6400 memory Samsung 250GB HDD Antec 1050 SOHO Case w/500W power supply Sony 16X DVD/RW ASUS P5B Deluxe Motherboard However, I'm undecided on a video card. I'm a ATI fan, NOT...

ATI Coupon from ASUS 9800XT w/ Silver package upgrade HL2: Ep1 Also have two other Steam accounts, one with a blueshift CD-key and one with a Half Life CD key. Both of them have the complete Valve backlog of games on them.

What I'm not following here are the people stating that the AK-47 or one of it's variants isn't a logical weapon for Half Life 2. Half life 2 is set in Eastern Europe, you know, the place occupied by Soviets during the cold war? Where Armies were armed with.... hundreds of thousands of ...

I have none of the above problems on my PC. You are running STEAM, right?

HL1 is full of bugs? WTF? What a load. Perhaps you should TRY playing it before you affix such a label to it.

I would hope within 2-3 months. If both started at the same time, I see no reason for it not to, especially with seperate teams working on it. 6-8 months is quite a wait, and kind of defeats the "episodic" feel.... Since Episode 1 is complete, isn't that team beginning on Episode 3? I'd...

Yes, but Valve have not said that it's going to stop at HL3. It could go to HL4, or more.

My plan is to start "prepping" for Aftermath several days before it's release. First night I will play straight through, start to finish, Half Life 1. The next night, Opposing Force, next night Blueshift, then Half Life 2, and then, June 1st, Aftermath.

Well, you have to give Valve some credit. They did atleast make the reload and, aside from the double barrel, the shotgun operates fairly realistically. IE: Gordon doesn't "pump" the action if you reload with rounds still in the gun, like every other game on the planet. And if you fire a shot...

Good work, keep it up

Huh? Care to write that so it makes sense?
