  • Erk - Sorry about the repeat post... However... ...It's with some interest that, of the 130-odd sign-ups to-date, not one of them carries a ClanPlaid designation. I realise that possibly ClanPlaid spends most of its time on M2 these days, fighting…
  • Bungie Studios have allowed TFL specialists Project Magma to ‘clean out’ Bungie’s own swag cupboard with a new tournament aimed at re-igniting TFL multiplayer gaming. Registrations are being accepted for “Ret…
  • Actually... (Quote) Put that way, it kinda reminds me of the Episode I trailers.. I mean, large beasts comming out of the mist.. a voiceover saying: "For every story, there is a beginning...". And then.. we see the movie and are surrounded…
  • Yah.. the book was verra interesting... Thanks for the words Fox *8) We have a bonified lover of the book in our office in the form of Chris Jacobson, and he even told us the whole book's take on the universe and stuff before we went. If this movi…
  • Re: Ack, I disagree (spoilers) Well, I haven't seen the movie BUT a few of the things you complain about can be explained if you ever read the book. (Quote) According to the book, the planet follows Earth's evolutionary path, hence horses and stuff…
  • Ack, I disagree (spoilers) ack!! ER.. *insert female chimpanzee sex crazed howl from the movie here* Ok.. even the few moments that I could immerse myself in this film, the badly placed references to the first movie pulled me right back out and l…
  • Re: ya... (Quote) Opening the case and aiming a fan at the card keeps the video card at a relatively cool 51 Celsius. This lets me play indefinitely without locking up, so it's nailed down that this is overheating. I don't want to always have to ext…
  • Re: Graphics Card Overheating Question (Quote) I had some problems with that card and Tribes 2, and from what I read, I wasn't alone. I *think* I fixed the problem by upgrading my drivers, but I'm not sure. I've got a PIII 1GHz, fwiw. Good luck.
  • Re: Graphics Card Overheating Question (Quote) Given the symptoms, I'm extremely confident it's the graphics card. But, I'm always open to other ideas. (Quote) Soundblaster Live! Value PCI Should be okay. - Kodiak
  • Hi, My computer has been crashing a lot whenever I try to play Quake3/NOLF/... anything 3D rendered. I've tracked this down to my graphics card (a Geforce2 GTS Pro) overheating. The temperatute sensor software shows the temperature in the card spi…
  • My Guess He's going to have one dual-headed machine and one single-headed machine, using only two monitors. That is, the larger monitor will be switched back and forth between the machines, along with the keyboard and mouse. This happens to be the…
  • I'm confused... What are you trying to do? If you have two monitors, why do you need to switch between them? Why not just have one monitor hooked up to each box, then you can use them both at the same time? That's assuming you have plenty of space…
  • I'm looking for a pic of the picture of the trow from the Myth:TFL manual. If you can't help me with that, just a pick of a trow. Thanks
  • [b]update: Yay! Adobe has agreed to drop the complaint against Dmitry![/b] details: http://www.boycottadobe.com/ Adobe has backed down, but Dmitry Sklyarov is still in jail. It is now up to the U.S. Attorney General's office of the Northern Distri…
  • 1. The Hunger Site shuts down Although the message at http://www.hungersite.com/ reads that the site is undergoing maintenance, the financial backer has stated it is over unless someone steps up to run it. 4 Million was donated before it closed. bu…
  • Ah, found it. here ya go http://www.tweakfiles.com/processor/wcpuid.html
  • Program... I've used a little program called WCPUID for a long time, but I couldn't find it for download anywhere. Here is a list of some other programs that might do you good... http://download.cnet.com/1,10150,0-10001-103-0-1-1,00.html?qt=cpu&a…
  • Blackbeard, you rock (Quote) Made the change. Boots up as a "1000 MHz" Athlon processor. Quake3 manages to run even faster. Thank you very, very, very much. I really appreciate the help. I don't know if I would have stumbled onto the cha…
  • Well (Quote) I tried increasing the multiplier to 8.5 to see what happened and it still ran at 750. I didn't increase it to 10, as I didn't want to set my machine on fire in the case I really did have a 750 MHz CPU. I'll try the bus speed thing, th…
  • [sigh] Got an answer from a friend to the above question. It appears the "AMD Athlon 1 GHz" I ordered from Virtual Micro, according to both the BIOS and the DirectX configuration tool, is actually a "AMD Athlon 750 MHz". My &qu…
  • Is there any basically foolproof way that I can tell how fast my processor is running, without having to open the case? IE, a piece of software? This is for Windows on an AMD Athlon. On the Mac you could use System Profiler, but I'm not sure if ther…
  • yeah I need a wheel because i'm tired of trying to drive the vehicles in ww2ol with my joystick. anyone have any recommendations...nate? thanks. i'm looking for something with solid construction, durable, and not tiny.
  • No One Lives Forever, my thoughts This isn't about compatability with Win2K, as I run 98, just a comment about the game. Basically, it's a blast. The combat is a lot like in Deus Ex, in that it's not Quake/Quake2/Unreal/... you don't just run arou…
  • Win2k Aby ideas how System Shock and NOLF run on Win2k? Is there anywhere I can find out? I haven't installed Win98 on my new gaming PC yet (mainly cos it doesn't support the Dual Procs as well) and I'd rather not have to if I can avoid it.
  • Re: also! NOLF is great fun, at least I enjoyed it for the most part. I got around 20 hours or so out of it before I stopped playing. Maybe twice the playing time I got out of Serious Sam, for example, and I damn near finished SS. (I have a problem…
  • Actually (Quote) I have a copy of NOLF that I'm probably going to try today. I'll let you know what I think :) - Kodiak
  • Re: New Computer/Thanks Nate! (Quote) Yeah, I will probably check some of the mods out. (Quote) It's Warren Specter, just like Deus Ex, so I should probably check it out. (Quote) That's a good idea. All three of those, System Shock 2, and the two Th…
  • Re: um (Quote) Haven't played it. Definitely planning too. Excellent call mentioning it, though. Seems like exactly the sort of thing I want to play. - Kodiak
  • Ordered a computer from Virtual Micro, as per Nate's post a few months back. Upgraded the specs some, thanks to escalating tech/dollar. Despite some relatively minor shipping issues the computer is here and it is, in fact, fantastic. I still use the…
