Itch

A bagel is nothing more than a stuck-up, pretentious, thinks he's better than you donut!

Let us not forget .. HULK HOGAN & THE WRESTLING BOOT BAND! [YOUTUBE]qjzuHQRX-Zc[/YOUTUBE]

Now there's a band.. I've seen them in concert 4 times and all 4 times they were great!.. Pissed me off when they split.. Got to see "Peeping Tom" Michael Patton's new band.. it was not bad.. but nowhere near what Faith no More was.

Why do you think my name is "Itch"?

As cheap as RAM has become there is no reason to run any OS with just 512 MB. Especially if you are going to attempt to play games on that computer.

At first I was "Wow, they finally did it!" then I was let down.. "what, a fake.. that sucks"

There is already a thread about this game.. http://www.steam-gamers.net/forum/showthread.php?t=4665&highlight=spore And yes it looks really cool. It's release keeps getting bumped back though..

I just built a new machine.. Put Vista Ultimate on it.. and after SP1 it's not that bad.. It detects and uses the full 4GB RAM I have installed (pre sp1 only showed 3GB). Sure I disabled Aero and all the damn nag screens.. but so far nothing to complain about.

Happy Birthday!

Wow.. I feel old.. my graduation was soooo long ago that I hardly remember it. Congrats - Life will never be as easy again.

Welcome back!

When someone starts out by saying... and then That is exactly what they are doing. I think it was shakespeare that said

Thanks everyone! For my Birthday I'm building my new gaming rig.. so now I can't blame my hardware anymore.. Should have it done later tonight.

I've been needing a good laugh.. and DAMN you delivered!

If you are talking about on a PC.. Do you currently have any Anti-Virus software? If not go download AVG (they have a free version) and run a full scan.

I don't think you are stupid.. I just wanted to make sure you hadn't bought into the Mac advertising that claims no virus's. I have had to fix some pretty messed up Mac's from people who believe that crap.. And because of you said. It made me wonder if you believed it or not. Just trying to help.

Eww... Spit that out!

If you honestly think that there are no virus's, exploits/hacks on the Mac you are dillusional. There are plenty of exploits/hacks/virii for the mac. However.. this one does not look to be designed to work on a mac.

Please don't bump old threads. :glare:

Red is correct. If you're looking to save money (or use it to upgrade other components) the Centurion is a great case for the price.

You might want to look at this case.. it's basically the same as the Antec 900 (A copycat, I just bought it last week) but has an ESATA port on the top with the USB ports and is cheaper. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146047

A good place to start is http://tf2strategy.com/ Browse through the class and map strategy guides. Decent tips, definitely enough info to get you started. And I'm all for bringing back the SG - TF2 Server.. I miss it!

Happy Birthday!

I got the ram as trade for helping a friend setup his Wireless (new still un-opened.) So I'm not spending any money on the ram. As for the Video card I'm still up in the air on that one.. I don't want to spend much more than that. But wanted to go as high as I could afford to. Yes I'm building it myself.. as I have with the last 3 computers I've had and countless others. As for budget.. under $800 But like I said.. I already have the RAM, DVD Burner, Hard Drive, possibly use that PSU at least for the time being. The PSU is brand new. Un-opened box (bought too many of them for a job I did a few months back) So if it will run what I have ok then I'm not sure I want to throw money at it.. I will upgrade if I decide to go SLI or RAID later on. Like I said .. already have the RAM and it was free & new as well. I've setup and run OC for others but never found need for my uses. I probably won't overclock.. I'm running a slower machine now and never really needed to OC. If I ever get bored and have extra cash to waste I might go liquid cooled and OC.. but for now.. not gonna happen.
