CPU Thread
Yeah, they were easy to read - and your PC is, like you said, neither the worst nor the best out there. I googled the model number on the screenshot, and if you haven't already upgraded the system RAM you might want to consider doing that. RAM would definitely help! 1 Gig in windows vista is like 512MB in XP. 2gigs and you will see a HUGE performance boost. Youll still see some performance boosts with 4 gigs also, if you are interested in multitasking, high resolutions and graphic intensive games.

Your killing me. You wont build your own micahine but your picky about the motherboard for upgrade reasons and willing to switch out the PSU later.

What are you playing now?
Bioshock It has a lot of character. The theme is very refreshing to me. My "new" graphic card likes to artifact with everything on high, so i play on medium settings with high textures and its ok. It seems to be a common problem, especially with the 8800GT's....

Best Graphics Cards at Present and in the Future
I've been playing around with my grahic card lately. 8800GT factory overclocked at 650 and 950. Loaded BIOSHOCK up and got what looked like space invaders... ARTIFACTS!!!! I put the card back the base standard for the 8800GT 600 and 900 and it runs fine again. I can't return it because i got it on Ebay... It was such a good deal, still is, as long as it doesn't do it anymore. I ran a stres test and it passed. I wonder if there is a more effective way to cool it. I have a pci fan that has 2 fans blowing striaght on it, plus a 120mm fan to the right of the card for more airflow. The load temp is 61C idles at around 57C doesn't seem strange, although my last card ran MUCH cooler with the same setup. Check sig for picture of my airflow. note, that is my old graphic card.

CPU Thread
Is this new 6 core nehalem going to be compatible with the mobos that support 1333FSB? I think the highest my motherboard will support so far are the new Yorkdales 1333FSB quad core 45nm cpus. that might be the nail in the coffin upgrade for my 965P mobo. whats the last CPU your mobo will support bok?

You can get a 8800GT for 220 at Micro Center or you can get a 9600GT thats nearly as fast for 169 at Clubit. Those are a couple sweet spots. I personally bought a 8800GT

A remake or even a patch will do good
Deja vu To the noobs that want a content patch from Obsidian: You missed entire war, This idea has already been flushed except for the remaining turds. your 3 years late dudebro. You missed the petitions, the responses, the flaming, everything. Unless you have special crystals or some other method of time travel, forget about a official content patch. Lucas arts isn't letting obsidian do it, and the workers at obsidian have a life outside of programming. Your so late that the unnoficial restoration project is nearly done in fact, thats how lame you are. Flush.

US Presidential Elections
this is the means by which the federal government unconstitutionally took power from the states. similar problem with the drinking age. congress couldn't pass laws that forced certain issues, so they simply extorted the states into submission by witholding funds. taks Do the states have any strings that they can pull back for balance of power? Senate/congress?isn't it the legislative branch that can change balance this back out? So they do have power if they can agree upon the issue correct? Has the federal government always had power to trump the states government when not even at war?

For the foreseeable future i agree. The 9800GTX2 looks crappy. Its basically 2 8800GTS's slapped together with added 10.1 support for around a 30% increase i read from HardOCP. The 9600GT looks ok. Theres one at Club it now for $169 + Tax and shipping. For the most part its nothing new still. Thats why i caved in and bought a 8800GT. Its cheap and I can get a new one down the line. The 9800GTX comes out march right? That one im keeping an eye on. Bok - when are you going to upgrade your CPU man?

The beer thread
Friend of mine started brewing his own beer. Theres many local brewers around here where i live, Ann Arbor Michigan. I myself rarely drink, and only when my body starts to hurt, it helps numb the physical pain. I enjoy a Summer Ale once in awhile.

The 9600GT is out! Its nearly as fast as my 8800GT but also nearly the same price. You can get a 8800GT for $220-260, the 9600GT's are selling for $210 at newegg. Might as well get the 8800GT.

Got it for $220 with shipping off ebay new. Also sold my 7900GT for $80 bucks and Unreal Tournament 3 for $25 so this card only cost me $115. Night and day difference between Oblivion and Stalker! Used some compressed air on my machine while i waited for my card to come... looking spiffy.

TSL Restoration Project: The Phantom Deadline, READ FIRST POST BEFORE POSTING.
or maybe its done and they're just letting us sweat...laughing at us. Their probably looking on how to implement this big mess of code into the game. Too bad the Progress thread in their forum was shut down due to flaming and trolling. It has been many months since an update or any progress besides that one bug. THen again its school time, and life can be consuming. Don't give up. your almost there Team Gizka!!!
