I must say, the demo was highly unimpressive. It seemed like it would be a lot better of an idea, but it just seemed gimmicky once I got started. Controls are upsetting, to say the least. It really does have a "console" feel to it. Especially with the number of keys. I mean, WASD for...

So, I just got my shiny new heatsink in, and I had a bit of a problem. I went to mount it, and the PWM stuff in the top-left of the board seems to be blocking one of the retention brackets on the heatsink from locking in. I know it's a big no-no to run it with one unattached, but I'm wondering...

+1 donation, and many more once I find a new job and have cashflow. Congrats on the sacrifice, Kyle, and if your box ends up in my home, expect much folding and many fun hours of gaming.

The first thing I though of when I saw this controller were Space Combat Simulators. The controller has pitch and yaw built in. Full 360-degree movement. Imagine how much more fun any space combat game would be with that? No more need for a joystick/footpedal combo to *really* effectively...

That would be Emperor: Battle for Dune. Now, my list of crappy games: Emperor: Battle for Dune (It just asked for it =/) Mortal Kombat: Sub-Zero Mythologies Bible Adventures (NES game, came free with the console) Myst II: Riven Superman 64 (Kryptonite fog. Worst idea ever) Perfect Dark...

Aye, I tried everything except the BIOS battery and PCI vid card. I don't have any PCI cards, and the board is brand-new. It's a DFI Lanparty UT NF3 for socket 754, and I doubt the bios battery is bad, since that board's had a whole 24 hours of downtime since I got it. It'll also boot to...

My "Tower of Power" Athlon64 died today, I believe. I dragged it over to a friend's house for a bit of LANfun, and when I got home, I get nothing on the monitor. Plugged in a diff. GFX, nothing. Swapped IDE cables on the HD, nothing. Reset CMOS, nothing. Drives spin up, proc fan loads, but...

The current highest AMD clock is somewhere around 4.4 GHz. the AMD architecture was never designed to clock that high, and there's no hope for it to ever hit 7.1 GHz, but that clock speed is where Netburst was designed to scale up to. It really doesn't get it's kicks in until 4 GHz or so...

5 processors as of now, one of them just chugs a bit slow.

Welcome to the [H]orde all! And gets ta borging! =]

Breast Cancer 1 Breast Cancer 2 World Hunger Rainforest Link 1 Rainforest Link 2 Bump for the 'nooners!

Good point, and I'm probably going to be getting the radiator off a Penske truck at some point. One of the big giant ones, too. All I need to do is find a nice pump with enough head and I'll be watercooling my tower and my laptop.

Seriously. AC and boxen do NOT mix... I'd seriously almost reccomend what I'm considering doing, and getting a little mini-fridge from a yard sale, and running a massive water reservoir through it. Strangely enough, the AC costs far far more to run than the AC, and for a cheap fridge that...

WHOO! Another return from the unholy lands of non-[H]-dom!

Since when is 1680*1050 NOT massive?? Or maybe I'm just stuck in the small-CRT land of 1024*768 >.< *edit for proper res

I've got a Radeon 9550 (I think it's 9550, might be 9250), 128MB, dual-head output. 1 DVI, 1 VGA, and 1 S-Video. OEM, I can throw it in for free no prob. Even got a DVI to VGA adapter if you need it.

Thanks to rj's amazing arithmetic skills, we're at 769, not 759 =] 769

Breast Cancer 1 Breast Cancer 2 World Hunger Rainforest Link 1 Rainforest Link 2 Bump from page 2 for the evening crowd!

Mayhem, both of those are frackin awesome. I decided to go with the second one for my desktop, has a bit of a darker feel to it. Matches my room better (considering that I have an old Sonic the Hedgehog 2 promo poster right next to my monitor :D )

Well, it's already packed for shipping (has been for a while, I forgot I had it 'till I cleaned my room), so if you want it I'll ship it out ASAP if you can cover UPS shipping.

Whoo! 40K points, and team rank 666. Apparently my P3 laptop has given me the power of Evil Inside(TM)

Mayhem, think we could get a 1024*768 version of that? It doesn't scale down nicely, unfortunately for those with smaller monitors. (Tags another mental note to get a 21" LCD)

I left one of my machines on when I went to London for 2 and a half weeks, no problems. I couldn't leave my second on, though, mad mobo problems, so it would've been turning in corrupt WU's left and right. No problems, even in sunny SoCal with no AC.

I'd go with 1024*768. Most people have that, and it'll scale up to 1280*1024 nicely. Scaling upwards generally goes better than scaling downwards, so it's probably better to make it smaller than larger.

That's a lie, and you know it! But Kyle and the [H] did get me into folding. Hooray for those bored, drunk, and influenced college days that are behind me. If it wasn't for me being a stoner for a while, I would'nt have started folding, which then caused me to quit in order to save more money...

My bets on a scrambled BIOS or a bad MB. Try flashing the bios, and check the proc in a diff. board as well, if you can. Same for vid card, memory, and such. If it only happens in that board, recycle time. Although 53C idle is a bit warm, my Athlon idled that high for a week or so before the...

Welcome back, although I believe you left before I started trolling around here, it's always good to bring back the Great Old Ones.

That picture is like 6 hours after I shave, but then it starts slowing down... I could get maybe 2 inches out in a month or so, but I just feel like that's a long-ass wait.

Me mourning the loss of my beard. (It came halfway down my chest. And then I lost a bet that forced me to shave it off)

Why 500? Go all-out and SLI some 7800's! Imagine the power, at only 1200 dollars!

I've got a Dell mobo (no AGP slot, no onboard ethernet) for socket 370. It'll support a P3 700 no prob, I pulled a working 733 from it a few months back for another folder. If you wanna bite, I'll see what I can do.

Whooo! I can get my 6600GT to work, and my parent's X300 (Dell OEM card, but still. Two (or more) folders, in the same space!

...unless you're Microsoft!

I'm working on the attic ventiliation thing at my house, but I really don't want to go up there 'till it cools down. Currently it's probably at an easy 140F. Hooray for tile roofs :rolleyes:

I'll be up and running in a few days when all the bugs are worked out =] (and when my laptop finishes a WU.

It's just not the same as relic =]

787 - 1 = 786 for CF 786 - 1 = 785 Another lappy, found the PB

Seriously. When my parents have had any issues with F@H, mainly one time when it got two big WU's and saturated the memory bus for about 12 hours before one finished, I just explain to them how much maintenance work I've done on their computer, in hours, all of which was out of warranty on the...

Well, once this thing is ready to rip, I've got an IBM thinkpad that could go for some low-memory OS goodness. P3733 just waiting to stomp some big WU's.

Well, considering you're getting a taskmgr.exe error on load, which I've never seen before, you should definetely try safemode. It'll probably work, and you'd be able to fix a lot of problems. If not, you've got a virus. Personally, my bet's on the virus, and the easiest way to fix that is to...
