Another article investigating cheating, an interesting read.
no real substance to this thread, just excited to receive my new headphones after an 11 day wait for shipping. ordered used from DAHMART on Amazon in "Like New" condition. i doubt these things have ever been plugged in, they look brand new. still at the office so it'll be a couple hours before...
last night i bought a used JDS Labs O2 Headphone Amp from a head-fi'er that lives local to me. my DT770 Pro 80's aren't particularly hard to drive but after reading NwAvGuy's Headphone & Amp Impedance article i became curious about the theory behind the 1/8th rule. for the lazy:

i received my 2nd GTX 460 last night but i'm new to SLI. i installed the bridge, but there is no instruction given in my mobo manual telling me which direction it should be installed. my gpu's have an arrow on the PCB on one side of the finger, but the bridge itself has no marks whatsoever to...
this game looks great. 32-player multiplayer FPS with large open maps. the premise is North Korea has invaded the US, so the setting is very appealing to me. looks like Battlefield 2142 set in the US, on a modern graphics engine. i'm looking forward to this game :)

need the collective expertise here at [H]. i'm going to sell my 21" 1680x1050 Gateway FPD2185W LCD monitor locally on craigslist. it's a good monitor that uses a Samsung S-PVA (LTM210M2) panel so the color reproduction is excellent. i paid $450 for this new in '06 which was back when 20"+ LCD...

haven't seen any threads on this game yet. anybody playing it? i picked it up on wed for the PS3 and started playing it last night. I'm only a few chapters into it, but so far it's been a lot of fun. the pistol/glaive weapon combination is cool and gives you a lot of opportunities to invent...
somehow my COD4 MP rank got reset. was at lvl 29 and now i'm starting back at lvl 1. didn't take long to get to lvl 29, so not a big deal for me. but some of the generals might want to avoid this.
supposedly this patch fixes this known issue...
Pretty great game. My only gripe is that enemies have a red glow when they are taking damage. This feature pulls away from the immersion. (edit: this only happens when you play on easy difficulty. crank it up a notch and it doesn't happen.l) The game seems playable at 1440x900 on HIGH...
just upgraded to vista, and at the same time upgraded Rivatuner from 2.04 to 2.05. now my max stable OC is 675/1563/945 where as with XP and Rivatuner 2.04 it was 684/1583/972. Not that big of a deal, but just wondering if anyone knows why this happened? Anyone else run into this?
Also, i...

Built my system very recently and bought this @ CompUSA for $80:
PNY Optima DDR2 667
They now have this on sale for $80 (AR):
Corsair XMS2 DDR2 800
I'm still within the return policy time frame. Is it worth my time to exchange for the Corsair memory? I don't plan on OC'ing any more...

I picked up an x-fi xtremegamer and sennheiser HD280 headphones today. I did not expect this much of an improvement in games (sound quality wise). Coming from a USB headset to this set up is night and day. I have definitely been underestimated the role audio plays in a game's immersion. I know...
Recently built the rig in my sig, originally bought 8800GTS 320 but decided to return it for a 640. OC'd right after putting it in my system. Kind of strange, i ran into a 594MHz wall when OC'ing with ATItool. Used Rivatuner to keep going from there. Artifact free for 10min using ATItool's...
