This is my problem with it I really enjoyed the game but then you finish it and think what next at which point it occurs to you SH*T I am going to have to wait till something like 2010 to find out!!! ;(
Those expansion packs better come along soon and be damn good to keep me going... just...
What are the rest of your specs that you don't have an agp slot? I have an old P2 - 400 with an agp slot, though all non server/business machine had them now.
Change the motherboard and you will be so much happier i mean it ain't even expensive. Don't know where you are but in UK prices for...
The moral question is a difficult one, what if you have already paid for it? I have mine on pre-order fully paid for so what difference would it make to bungie if I dl it so i can play it early? Think I will still resist the temptation though.
And why is everyone here having such a go at Halo...
Adding the second stick should not hurt the overclock you can achieve, but you ain't going to get the FSB very high seen as it is only pc2700 and the timing are a bit slack. Can't see why your mobo is being picky about which one is in which slot what type is it?
Just download SiSoft Sandra (such a useful program) run the memory tests and it will tell you all you need to know about your ram.
Then buy stuff with the same specs.
I would not just call it plain you could volt mod it (just google for it) and with good cooling you should get a really nice OC out of it but depends how big a risk you want to take and what you are like with a soldering iron.
You do realise when the XBOX was released PC high end was a geforce 3.
Now the PS2 was early than even that so at their time of release they could graphically kick a pc in the balls, but now as they near the end of their life the PC has easily surpassed them but soon the new machines will be...
You guys have read that this thing introduces a bunch of security issues. So I think I will leave it alone as for all it does (not much interesting from the look of it) I think I can live without it.
Either of those cases would be fine Hyperjag3 but I would definately go with a seperate PSU and get one made by either antec or enermax they tend to be really good quality.
What did you upgrade from?
Get hold of Doom 3 (buy or get demo) it looks SWEET at 1600x1200. That should give you all the eye candy you need till HL2 is out.
Yeah the 6800GT is definately the best value for money (yes I have one yes I am biased.) and overclocks like a dream 420/1.1 stable on mine which is faster than ultra but if you are up for the small risk a X800VIVO might be a good choice then flash it to an XT.
Between the Ultra and XT...
You do realise that a steel case will not make it any cooler than a plastic one if the ventilation is the same? The actual case transfers so little heat that it does not matter.
Not having a go at you just checking.
