Let BTX mature a bit. It's going to be the new standard but the options will be slim for a while. Of course, if you like to be an early adopter then be my guest. As for getting a new mobo for the PCI-Express, it gives you a good excuse to upgrade your CPU. I understand your dissatisfaction...

You must have misread me or something. I never meant to say that it won't be useful for future generations of video cards. Like you said, it's a good buy if you plan on upgrading your video card on the same motherboard. If you're like me, you don't upgrade components like that but instead buy a...

I got a leadtek 6800GT at Newegg.com for $395. It comes with Splinter Cell and Prince of Persia. Besides heatsink/fans, software bundles can be a determining factor on which card to buy. (for instance, many bought the evga 6800gt that comes with DoomIII) X800 Pro is a good card for HL2, but...

Only get PCI-Express if you intend to do SLI (dual video cards) or upgrade your video card on the same motherboard in the future. Otherwise it's pointless for gamers. It offers more bandwidth but current video cards don't even fill up the AGP bandwidth yet. There's very little performance gain...

In order of expense and thus the range of the card: 6200, 6600, 6600GT, 6800, 6800GT, 6800 Ultra The list disregards PCI-Express versions since they are basically the same.

It's not possible, but yes it would be sweet.

I can't believe it took until the 14th post for someone to mention inferno... that HAS to be next.

I can't imagine them selling it for any less than $20 retail. If you plan on playing DOD:S regularly, then Silver is your best choice. I would suggest creating a new Steam account to purchase the game so that you can enjoy two HL accounts. (you can even give the old one to a friend or something)

It might be a fake steam_id which could possibly ban a legit player, so it could hurt to try. If you don't want them on a server, %n. Otherwise, just let them play. Doesn't effect your gaming experience and Valve will shut them out when they want to.

If it works anything like 1.6, just put the settings in a userconfig.cfg file and it will load those every map.

HL2 will be a huge success. There is no way Valve is going bankrupt when it's about to be released.

hahah.

Again, the aged look of Alyx is only because of the jpeg compression.

I love that show... haha.

Well, ya... it's a good video and everyone should see it if they haven't. But it's also true that it's an old video, and I was just verifying that information.
