Giants and Fallout Tactics... I am interested! >_

I had a bit of fun with my own, recently purchased motherboard. Plugged in the cpu, ram etc. and powered it up. Bios decided that it didn't like any contemporary cpus (core 2 and newer) and refused to boot afterwards. Needed a "hard reset" of the bios and a re-flashing from a usb stick with a bios downloaded on my old computer... It is nicer when it works out of the box.

It's a version tag? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stepping_%28version_numbers%29 I suspect it is mostly important for geeks and overclockers

For those interested in continued Fallout 3 discussions I'll settle for listening in on the discussion. Not too excited about it

Start of old thread End of old thread Looks like the previous thread turned into a general Fallout 3 discussion

Lets put it this way, my Vista 64bt didn't complain when I initially tried it out with a borrowed E8200

Skulltrail mobo? Sure, I can believe that. There is indeed one on the market, even if it is $650. 8GB of Corsair? Again I can believe that. Corsair does make 2GB FB-DIMMs so you have enough room for those. Only $320 for that. Here is where you screw up... 3.3Ghz quad core? Doesn't exist. Perhaps you mean 3.2Ghz? That would be the QX9775 which currently retails for $1500. Oh but wait, you have skulltrail? That's a dual socket system! You'll need to buy two of those $1500 processors. Overclocking it to 4GHz if you actually had such a system is well within reach. As for Tri-Sli? Not possible. The only skulltrail mobo out there doesn't support tri-sli. Something is fishy

I liked S.T.A.L.K.E.R. inventory. Simple, elegant, easy to use. You can't carry much and need to leave most loot behind

So far acquired... Antec Performance One P182 Antec TruePower Quatro 1000 PSU Samsung Spinpoint F1 1 Terabyte HD Asus P5E3 Premium WIFI - X48 chipset 2 x Corsair (2 x 2GB) PC-10600 (1333MHz) XMP DDR3 (8GB total) Intel QX9650 CORE 2 Extreme Quad Core Zalman Reserator 2 Fanless Water Cooling System with cpu and vga (not used yet) block Asus 2400pro 256 mb silent video card - *Snigger! 50$ and it runs DirectX10 and Vista Aero* No dedicated sound card yet. No "real" gfx card yet. No fancy peripherals yet (throw away keyboard/mouse) Running Vista Ultimate 64bit

Fax it. In most countries I've been to, that (a fax) is a valid legal document

You try to explain that you are from Esbjerg

Wouldn't it be be somewhere in the vicinity of [russ-byaerh] ('russ' like in Russian, except the 'r' isn't "rolling" but flat, "ya" like in yankee and a slightly prolonged 'h' at the end)?

Well, lets just say, you definitely got me hooked on that watercooled solution you posted a link to previously If not that one, it should still be possible to mod a card to use watercooling instead of fan, or is that a pipe dream? So far, my little 50$ card is holding the line (I've only really pushed it a bit with NWN2). It actually supports directx 10.1 and Vista Aero What is the difference between the x2 cards and 2 single cards in a CrossfireX setup (besides using a single slot)? The price looks the same for the two solutions.

Sounds a bit like Dragonlance between The Cataclysm and Dragons of Autumn Twilight. Mass Effect didn't appeal to me. Still, room for cautious optimism.

You sound upset

Words of wisdom... Although if you introduce a subject in a discussion, be prepared that it may be addressed one way or another @Guard Dog: I think it's a grey area, but one thing I would consider is whether or not the teachings of the parents are unconstitutional or not. E.g. would you sit by the sideline when people teach their children that midgets and miniature people are not real humans and are only good for dwarf tossing competitions? What about homes where kids are tought that people with skin colour xyz is trash and should be run over whenever you see them? Homes where kids are tought that people who either have or don't have a certain faith should be burnt at the stake. Preferably at night because the "misguided" authorities are compromised by the "enemy"? What if the parents put their kids in training camps in the desert of Nevada, where they learn to become suicide bombers, so they can blow up government buildings once the parents tell them it is time to fight the system? I can sort of understand why it must be frustrating for those watching by the sideline.

The sequel here

Start of old thread End of old thread Played a bit of Europa Universalis III

Sid Meiers "Pirates!" Continuing the quest to test my game library for Vista 64 bit compatibility (it worked without a hitch).

The Olympics died in 1936. They reanimated the corpse, but the spirit is gone. It's all business and bottomlines these days

I always wanted to give that one a try, never got around to it though... Maybe because the local game pusher (EB Games) never had it on the shelves

Thanks, I'll see if I can figure out what is in the boxes Unfortunately, I am going to be working overseas for a couple of weeks now, so I won't have time to play with my new "toys"

It sounds like TG owing anybody anything is still a popular misconception though.

I gave up trying to get the Thermaltake cooling tower. Went with a Zalman Reserator 2 instead. Fan less of course for maximum silence Now just waiting for already ordered bits and pieces to arrive. I noticed that the ATI4870 has been added to the various online stores product pages, but still nothing in stock. For something that looks like identical cards, there seems to be a bit of a price difference between Sapphire and Gigabyte cards. Anyone know why?
