I have a BFG 5950 running @ 545/1.07 with no problems. The card runs Halo with all effects turned on @ 1024x768 with no slow downs that I've noticed.

I don't get a chance to turn the volume up on my system that often - the volume level is directly proportional to the volume of yelling I receive from the wife when it's too load :rolleyes: So I can't say how the onboard sound compares at volume. Yeah, Airbus is smacking our ass right now It's hard ...

I'm running a retail 2800+ Barton on an A7N8X Deluxe @ 3200+ (11*200) at default voltage. Using run-of-the-mill generic 512mb PC3200, too (got it on ebay for $46.00). No mods to the chip at all - just dropped it in, changed the mutiplier/FSB, and it's run fine now for over a month. Also, I couldn't ...

Funny you should mention the RSX-S. The last two contenders on my list were the WRX and RSX-S. Having owned a '92 and '94 GSR, I understand where you're coming from. The engine refinement and the distinct sound of the VTEC when it hits its power curve on the way up to the 8000rpm redline were music ...

My new ride....

After a few years of saving I finally did the deed. This thing is an absolute rocket. Pop-it down to third gear and watch the traffic disappear :) :) :) Purchased at $100 over invoice, sweet! http://home1.gte.net/res0jv1b/mvc-556f.jpg http://home1.gte.net/res0jv1b/mvc-554f.jpg http://home1.gte.net/r...

FP- I Just swapped out my Soyo KT400 DRAGON Ultra for an ASUS A7N8X. Installed it with no problems whatsoever. I've got 5 of the USB ports populated as well as the onboard firewire hooked up to my Sony Handycam - no conflicts - no hassles :) The board also has the required four mounting holes for my...

This is hands-down the best game I've ever played on a console. From the smooth controls to the incredible lighting effects, this game buries you deep in the environment. If your into this genre, you can't miss it. Also, if you don't own an Xbox, for the price of a good video board, I'd pick one up ...

It'll be out on the PC this fall :) This game sucks you in. One neat feature is all the lose stuff strewn about. Some of which you can use, and some that's only purpose is to make noise if you happen to run into it. Once I was sneaking about in a barracks full of sleeping guards being all careful no...

Prisoner of War

Just picked up Prisoner of War for the Xbox. The game's great, but requires A LOT of patience. The AI is hypersensitive and will bust you in no time flat! Screens
