Wonder if it'll work on a PS3 ?
If I can't sense time, How can I heal?
Why am I in this precorpse state?

I sent you a friend request abuzar. What rank are you? Im really not all that high but im alright. I really only play double team and team objective though. I still havent completed campaign either. (I skipped the third level) But i played through on legendary.
*edit*
Hey sam or whoever do you think i can play crysis? Im hoping for medium but even low is alright with me.

Straight up, anybody with any of the radeon cards we discussed here, X1950XT (AGP or PCIe), X1900XT, X1900GT, they should all play Crysis pretty well. I'd expect high detail on resolutions of at least 1280x800...

Indeed, that's one of many ways MS forces you to buy vista. There's a project to get DX10 running on XP, but I don't know how successful it'll be, or if it'll support DX10.1, which is the only version of DX10 I'll ever want to use.

WOW.. That um.. Works perfect? Geez thanks for all of that. The only thing i have against it is Seagate HDD. I have yet to have a good experience with them and i might as well up the price by 20$ and get the 500 gig i had earlier. Other than that wow nice..
I love Seagate hard drives, they are quite and have the awesome 5 year warranty. I've never had a problem with them.

So is DX 10 a big enough reason to partion my HDD like i originally planned? That and im used to vista at work so its not really a big deal. I just want the most out of the computer and whatnot. 4 gigs for an OS though. Ill have to see if i cant um acquire a single disc version from uh the store.

I've never had any issues with them either, I think it's foolish to downtalk a manufacturer for one or two issues, but then I suppose if you've yet to have a good experience, what have you got to go on?

haha computer's already built. Thanks though for actually reading from the beginning.
*edit*
Oh as for the seagate thing i used to have a 250GB HDD from seagate and it broke within about 2 weeks of BARELY being used. Then i went ahead and bought a 180-ishGB HDD from seagate and that stopped working after about 7 months of normal use. Switched to a 40 gig Maxtor (Major downgrade but it came out of my own pocket) and it worked for 4 years. Well it STILL works actually i just dont use it.

haha well like i said it was in my old computer and that computer was louder than a room full of monkeys
However it also happens that the 2 fans in the case could of REALLY used some lube. That and a piece of plastic was hitting against one of them creating a constant "card in the bike tire" effect.

Hey Sammorris, you really gotta try Hellgate:London, I really like this game. Might have to say goodbye to Guild Wars for awhile and play this one.
And for h/d's I really like samsungs and seagates, both are nice and quiet.
