    What is the hardest game you've EVER played?

    Who plays a "boring" game for 5 hours? Probably the hardest game I have ever played was Ghosts and Goblins for the NES. You can get hit twice and then you die. Terribly hard game that I never finished. That and any NBA game........always lose to my friends. ALWAYS. Come and get some...

    Worth it or not?

    Dom, First off, please elaborate the specifics of your system such as what kind of RAM and what core your CPU is etc. etc.... From the specs you did provide, and assuming that everything in Europe is going to cost more, that seems to be a decent PC. If I can however recommend anything...

    Finally beat HL2..

    Rob, Did the ending of that game make you want to jump off an overpass? I know it sure as hell did for me. Screw that crappy ending. I am serious, I was actually pissed when it was over. A great game such as this one deserves an equally great ending..........thank Valve for that one...

    Age of Empires III Demo is out!

    No, I never really played through the campaigns, just skirmishes and multiplayer battles. I got about 3/4 of the way through all the special campaigns but never quite got over the hump.

    Age of Empires III Demo is out!

    Yeah, the initial campaign is easy but man, the full version should be great. Just think of the future possibilities... YOU HEARING ME AGEIA?!?

    Evercool Nighthawk VGA Cooler VC-F117 Review

    Water cooling is obviously better for obvious reasons but nothing conventional will get you below ambient. I mean you could place your reseviour in a bucket of ice water, should lower your temps a bit but not enough to cause condensation but thats really not practical due to the fact that no...

    Logisys Digital Thermal Controller Review

    graffix, You will not be able to power your fans from this unit. There are wires coming from the back. You are provided with a wire that Y's that plugs into the motherboard and then the fan and the thermal unit plug into the other ends of the Y. This makes for a wireing nightmare but...

    Would you upgrade your PC for an operating system?

    Unless the new Microsoft OS (I speak of it in vague terms because the name Vista is really gay) does my laundry, I am not upgrading for it. Now, the jump that XP was above ME and 98SE, yes, I might consider it but I am more than happy with XP Pro and that aint changing!

    Just got my 3700+ in

    Aww, just trying to spark up the forums. If that comes at the expense of my sanity, so be it :D Good to have you around again Swiebert! On aquamark3, I am getting about 77K which isnt to shabby. Tightened up my RAM timings and closed all background programs. The highest I have gotten...

    Crucial Ballistix PC3200 (DDR400) 1GB Kit

    First off, I wouldn't call what we are discussing "bitching." Don't get so defensive; I am just trying to help you. At the bottom of page 5 are the results of mine that you were looking for. Since then, I have gotten up to 268 MHz (268 x 10) at 3.0v with my timings at 2.5-3-3-10. I know...

    Crucial Ballistix PC3200 (DDR400) 1GB Kit

    Why are you so adament on getting the most out of your RAM just to install Gentoo? Or is it just to see what you can get out of your RAM? That I can understand...

    Crucial Ballistix PC3200 (DDR400) 1GB Kit

    That is an obsurd price for a stinking fan. More power to you if you throw it on your RAM, it will help. For 50 dollars, that fan better fold on its own!

    Crucial Ballistix PC3200 (DDR400) 1GB Kit

    Not to offend you but it has been said earlier in the thread that activly cooling your RAM will, just like a CPU, keep it stable better as well as allow a higher overclock. I have the same Zalman as you, well the 7000 but there isnt much differance between the two really, and it only cools one...

    Crucial Ballistix PC3200 (DDR400) 1GB Kit

    Are you OCing for benching or for everyday use? If it is just to see how high you can get it then by all means, throw a fan on the RAM. It might look shitty but it will help a lot. When you are worried about looks, sometimes performance is something you have to sacrifice sometimes. Again...

    Crucial Ballistix PC3200 (DDR400) 1GB Kit

    First off, dont worry about what memtest is saying, thats nothing to worry about. I have the same motherboard as you and was able to get 520 out of it. My setup was 3.0V, 260 x 10 (1:1) and my timings were 2.5-3-3-8. Those timings are somewhat loose but with those volts, 260 was possible...
