duo core, highfive

if ur planning on putting vista on there, you might experience some shit fps until they bring out better drivers

im currently sat waiting for the next ati drivers, just pressing refresh every 5 seconds

[Bramsterdam (see ya)]

Im getting Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 with the Vista upgrade if you want.. so I dont want to upgrade to vista until like you said they have some good drives out.

it's the whole reason I'm getting all that shit. I fucked the back of my dell case bad trying to fit that monster sized card in Got the extra cash so fuck it might as well get some new shit.

[Bramsterdam (see ya)]

lol good stuff

[Jip]

what problems you having with ati drivers? I've been using vista 64 since december with an ati card and I've had no graphic problems.

vista doesnt really support opengl, which is a one method games can use, counter strike uses them

most old games use it, newer ones will use directx and such things

there is a way to run opengl with windows aero, they just havent optimized it yet

they have only released a stable driver, so its a case of waiting for the optimized drivers to come out

Counter strike source and all the source shit run great on vista

[Jip]

Counter strike source and all the source shit run great on vista

shit

I thought that too but after a couple days I couldn't go back to 1.6, I like the old Day Of Defeat much better though

If I manage to get a summer job (Which isn't exactly easy here, 'cause you pretty much have to know somebody somewhere appropriate, and I don't.), I'll upgrade my shit in the fall. The pretty much only thing I'm keeping are my DVD-drive, my hard drive, my external shit and my case - the Nexus Breeze. It's a cool case, though it is big. http://www.nexustek.nl/breeze_350_400_watt_computer_case.htm. I now got the 350 power supply but I'll get the 500 watt version with the update, which is even more silent. If I manage to land that job, that is. Otherwise I'll just spend my savings paying the rent over the summer.

talkin about half life mods.. i was addicted to team fortress classic back in the day on the WON servers  that and half life deathmatch was hella cool running around as the zombie. but team fortress had the best fan made maps and 2fort!!

You already ordered this? I suggest you should wait, cuz Intel and AMD are planning a massive discount on all processors, because of the quad core processors coming up. And its worth waiting.

[Bramsterdam (see ya)]

lol too late now.. everythings in the mail.. I got the processor like 2 weeks ago too
