PhysX cannot change gameplay unless it's non-proprietary, otherwise geforce owners have an advantage over radeon owners. It is simply used to add graphical effects, nothing more. I don't see that likely to change.
Also, AGEIA PhysX cards wete long deactivated. You have to buy a geforce to run physx now, otherwise it would be possible to use PhysX alongside a Radeon card. You forget nvidia's corruption levels :P

Sam, did you end up selling your i5 to a friend? (I noticed you posted about your 9550 system with 4870x2x2 and a friend's i5 with 5870.) If so did you move your stuff to the HAF, or did you sell that too?

I doubt he'd get rid of the Haf. The HAF is far too valuable to discard ;)

Rich: No I still have the i5. I just haven't bothered switching it back to my main system yet. I'll get round to it eventually, was hoping to have it done before Multiplay, but it's too close to the event now to risk taking things apart, so I'll leave it until after I get back. I was hoping to turn the Q9550 into a lightweight gaming PC but still need a graphics card for it. Funds fell a bit short on that one, so the project was shelved.
The HAF is my main gaming case, I still use that.

Pardon? I figured 125 with ONLY 2 lines was a fair compromise? :p

They should define new parameters for just such instances ;)

4. If you want to use both text and image in your signature the image should not be more than 500 pixels wide and 100 pixels tall, and you can use up to three lines of text.

Lets say a person wants/needs only 2 lines of text, but wants to maximize their image space. That's what I meant by creating new parameters ;) If this is not possible, or silly(Probably), I'll edit my picture.

shaff, yours is 75,563 bytes.
2. An image-only signature should be less than 50kb in size, and be at most 500 pixels wide and 200 pixels tall.

omega, talk to admin as they make the rules & we mods enforce it. being addict status means you guys should know better on stuff like this. if you guys don't follow forum rules then why should all other members follow these same rules. lead by example.

ddp, do mods have something that flag us user's sigs or do you actually have to go and check manually? (just always wanted to know this :) )


right, time to use an optimised version then
