R.I.P. Our Motorcycling Friend
In the process of installing new drivers 'n **** in my new mega gamer. Details and pics to follow. Oh, and ahhhhh, video cards have gone up :dribble:
****! your impatient Rad!Well, I see no one much gives a ****, so I'll let it die now.......
Now there's some wonderful childhood memories for me.....(late 20's for TWN) :yahoo:Well, ****! What ever happened to slot cars and Lionel trains?
Ahh, so we do have something in common. I'm also a flight simmer, and built this specifically for FSX. Thursday night, my trusty ASUS A7N8x-Delux puked, Northbridge as far as I can determine, no POST. A local SuperGeek confirmed. Soooo, somehow caught the wife in a good mood, and did a little, ummmm, upgrade..****! your impatient Rad!
Just got here and now you bugged out??? Yes I am into some of it mainly Flight Sim X (Been using the other progs for years) and at the moment I like the Splinter Cell series the latest being Double Agent....just finished (well sort of) building my rig but money is tight right now, **** time of the year for our household with Xmas and all the big bills at the start of the year, and computer thingies are so ******* expensive these days and i get them wholesale!
So I have….
4200+ M2 CPU AMD O/C
Silverstone Zues 750 PSW
ASUS Crosshair Mobo
ATI 1900 Crossfire card which I might upgrade (only had the ******* a few months)
1 Gig Corsair 667 DDR2 Ram... Need more RAMMMM! (8 gigs would be nice)
And a bout 1 terabyte of HHD space, 2x sata and 1 x external rack
Antec Tower which not bad
And you?
ASUS or AMD? All my ATI drivers of late were coming from AMD.Rad,That is one hell of a setup!!! I read that the Asus board you had and have is one of the best. Also, recently, Asus has bought ATI.
Personally, I like my A7N8X Deluxe and the NVidia video board...they are great.
Good gaming and good fun to ya!
This system is quiet as a mouse compared to my old one. I have a total of 5 case fans, including a blow hole, all on a speed controller. The cpu uses less voltage, so I don't need the Honda 50 cylinder head cooler I needed with my clocked XP, the source of most of my noise. Water cooling, while neat, is fraught with terror. I mean, it IS water ya know......I'm a big-time video gamer. But the last time I updated my home PC was for Max Payne, made my old system crawl. Oops, I forgot the X1300 Pro card I popped in to help display larger Lightwave models. I really try to avoid PC games and stick to PS2, XBox 360, and now PS3 games. The issue is the latest patches for games and Direct X and what-not were always messing up my PC and making me crazy. I need my PC functional more often.
Nice-looking system. Antec 650 p/s! Wowsers, I'm making due with one of their TruePower 430's. I want my next PC to be quieter so I'm thinking about water cooling, 150 mm fans, and a damped case.
Rad,I did a lot of hosting back when I was into IL2. Quit cuz of all the ******* kids that would teamkill and crap, kinda got away from online gaming as a result. Broadband with a fat signal is the only way to go. Some poor kids, blow them out of the sky and it was a minute before they found out they were meat....
