As it uses the stock cooler, it's likely to get very hot (unlike, say, the Gainward Golden Sample-version). Otherwise, the 4870 1GB would be my current choice too, even if nVidia made a huge online fuss about their new driver that gets the GTX 260 (216 shaders) faster than the 4870 again (in some games). All in all, from what I've read, these two cards are about the same level of performance and price and would both get my recommendation, and if you plan on going crossfire, the case is obvious: Go for it [edit] Oh, my comment about stock cooling referred to your link, which doesn't show an ASUS card, but one from Sapphire.

Probably it's got something to do with the size of the sprite and some internal quirks of the engine? I have no idea actually, I just know I've never seen the game run smoothly in this situation.

I think there's no computer playing IWD2 without stutter. I'm mainly talking about the Chultian Dragon here...

man... Switch the button right next to your ear and get that list together yourself. Just combine the two lists you posted last and decide on the things that are redundant (i.e. the monitor). Also, go for this PSU here, for example: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16817194035. -samm out

It's kind of laborious to read through all this and constantly give advice All in all, this system isn't too different on what we've been discussing here. The mainboard is a P45 one, thus in our recommendation. The graphics card is in our recommendation. The processor is in our recommendation. RAM, PSU (our recommended general direction should fullfil the given specs too), DVD, Case, peripherals are all left open. HDD is smaller, but also of good reputation, so you decide (well, it's all your decision anyway ). The screen I've never heard of. A basically better technology (...VA) doesn't necessarily make for a better screen, so google for reviews!

Strange because with your habits open relationships seem the way to go The book is called 'Vermehrte Moscowitische und Persianische Reisebeschreibung', a baroque (about 1650) description of a real adventurous journey from germany to isfahan in persia (iran today) that took years and brought back nothing but scientific and culturural progress as well as severe monetary losses (instead of contracts securing silk trade on a land route instead of around Africa). Hope that was the most important parts in short enough What kind of flowers did you get, roses scnr?

Daniel Ash - The Void seems you like that little hellhole, mister / so let's all watch you fall down

I must say, that seems strange Finished initial preparations for giving a lecture on an old book. I hate standing in front of bored people (or too many people on one spot in general), so I'll have to make it interesting...

Ehm, I have no problems with English plurals in general and not with the word 'Jews', I just explained DR's word 'Juden'. I'm a bit confused by your reply With racial benchmark you mean the restriction of immigration to people with at least one jewish grandparent that SteveThaiBin spoke of?

And I'd demand a link Bauhaus - Waiting for the man (feat. Nico, live in Manchester)

Not to repeat the same errors again and again wouldn't be human. The german plural apparently. Rather strange What's that talk about racial purity benchmark? Never heard of that, link please!

Rehearsal for the next karaoke evening? Fields of the Nephilim - Last Exit for the Lost (Live)

**** Amazon, I wanna play that game, since when does it take you a week to ship it you ****ing snails

Well I only found a remix, but horrible it isn't really. Fields of the Nephilim - Dawnrazor

thanks *g*

Could you make the screenshot a bit smaller please? I'm afraid I could see something of the game otherwise...

Fortunately, I didn't feel like I was in the AVP movie, instead, I found the game great

First, scratch the 9800GTX+, we'd all recommend the GTX 260 instead (that you have listed too). Second, Spider seems to recommend the Samsung T220 for a reason, my suggestion 2220WM was purely arbitrary based on pricegrabber. So I'd rather put the T220 on your list. Third, add a power supply to your list. It should deliver about 500 watts of power and be of a trustworthy brand (such as Enermax, BeQuiet, Corsair, Seasonic, ...) Also, to complicate it again: I'd not go for an nVidia-based mainboard, rather chose one based on Intel P43 or P45 chipsets. Such a thing does not exist. You're mixing three things up here:1. Core i7 is a new processor by Intel and not worth getting if you're gaming and on this budget, as you'd need a very very expensive mainboard and expensive RAM for it. 2. The ATI 4870x2 is the most expensive and power hungry graphics card on the market today. It's also the fastest, but it basically consists of two graphics processors put on one card. It has all the drawbacks of a SLI-solution, except that it's on one card. Also, I thought you said you didn't want an ATI? 3. Crossfire is the ATI-equivalent of SLI. In this case, it would mean you'd have to buy two ATI 4870x2 and couple them together. You'd also have to buy a crossfire ready mainboard and a monstrous power supply. In short: Don't listen to the quoted suggestion.

You could add the Zotac Version of the graphics card just to make it a little more difficult My expectations on a monitor are probably different from most gamers, so I'm not too good on that topic either. 22" wide is the new 19" in terms of "standard gaming size". There are almost no more 21" screens with 4:3 ratio. I fired up pricegrabber to see what's on offer for what price and the Samsung 2220WM, while not the latest design, is damn inexpensive and well reviewed there. It doesn't go up to full HD resolution, but that's better for gaming anyway as you'll be able to play in its native resolution (1680 x 1050) a little easier. Just the first thing with a good brand that showed up on pricegrabber, no idea if it's really that good.

It means "five hundred watts" and is the amount of power your power supply should provide. You're mixing two things up here: First, I wanted to know what you meant by "flash drive".Second, what was said about "memory sticks" meant: Take 4 gigabyte of RAM, in the form of two RAM modules (-> called "sticks") with 2 gigabyte each. I add my consensus to that. I also add my consensus to the hard drive.
