What the clan or the forum? The forum I can't really fix, the clan I don't want to fix.

Well it's only Me, you, and shock so far.

My computer is still working fine, so quiet too, it's awesome. Dual booting Vista and xUbuntu 7.10 for extra awesomeness.

Thats great!

Sadly here. . .I'm getting sound issues, graphical issues, slow downs, random unexplaned crashes, driver crashes, high temps, squealing fans, internet issues, and now much pain in my wrist and hand, probably due to over use or something. So yeah. . .not so great for me. . . Though I am running Crysis at good settings with 30fps. Dunno how, but its the only game that'll always run smooth no matter what the situation is.

Want to trade computers?

I was going to use a spare Asus P5N-E SLI mobo, E6600, 2gb MushKin PC6400, 500gb WD, and one of my 8800GTS 640mb. Then I'd buy 2 high performance odd and be happy. I'd have one main computer for media and gaming, then the new one I built was for work off to the side. For like downloading and crack sites, and iso making/burning. Just so I can do whatever the hell I want while I'm playing my games or whatever. The thought was nice. But the mobo was not kind, for it is a useless piece of crap now. . .and I sadly did not register it. And have lost any info for it.

Thanks for the update Shock. I deleted optx off my bookmarks tool bar so I completely forgot about it since nobody had posted in over a week.

My computer is still running fine, I'm working on getting Backtrack beta 3 for a triple-boot.

It sucks your computer doesn't work too well, have you tried defragmenting, drive clean-up, etc?

Question! Unrelated post, but who gives a crap. Can I have this place?

I mean, completely have it. You can pack up and move out. And I'll just maintain from here on.

Its just so perfectly made. I mean, I have no complaint about it. The front page is now amazing with the announcements at the front and stuff. I'll have to ask you a few questions Evo, but this would be awesome to use. So long as its alright, but its not like any of you are using it anymore anyway.

I have my reasons.

So could I have it? I'd really appreciate it.

. . .have I tried defragmenting. I hope that I would. I have a program called Diskeeper that does that. Part of my issue is due to the small amount of drive space I have left on everything. However, I seem to keep getting driver issues, even though I've tried stable, old, and 3 beta drivers, each with different effects, but with the same results. And I need a terabyte hdd. Badly. I'm out of room. I need it. Can anyone spare $400? I'm guessing the price, I don't want to look.

I will seize this site if you do not answer. And you're never on Xfire, so it is VERY difficult to contact you. Less you changed Xfire accounts.

Hmm. . .I'm getting performance degredation everywhere. . .yet I'm getting the best performance I've ever had in CoH. . . . . I'm absolutely confused. Less it be the new video drivers I installed.

Shock, hows it coming on selling your notebook?
I found parts for a set up for around $1240 including a BenQ 24" LCD. Very VERY nice quality. Though, you're going to have to get the OS, so that might add a bit more to the final cost. Its really up to you in the end though buddy. I'll just try to offer you the best deal I can find until you make a decision...or you get into the position to make a decision is what I should say.

Ryu, what was it you said your budget was for your new video card?
And what is the speed of your cpu?
And how much memory do you have and it's speed?
And you really need to defrag more often, along with other simple computer maintenance. It will make a difference, I assure you.

As for those who wanted Assassin's Creed, I will no longer be a hypocrite, and I will now ONLY purchase games and will not distribute them. Pirates are one of the main causes for PC gaming dropping. Large percentages of PC gamers steal rather than purchase video games, and this makes it a large risk for publishers to release PC exclusive titles, and still risky releasing ports on PC due to manufacturing and production time to create the game to run on Windows for little profit.

Though my actions may not prove a difference, my conscience will be better, knowing that I am not killing PC gaming, and that I am taking a step, though small and probably insignificant, towards restoring PC gaming to what it was, and what it should be, for PCs are infinitely better and more incredible in every way to a console, and should not be wiped away from the gaming market for that simple reason, and many others.

So I encourage any others who steal any games AND any fellow gamers, to join me, to put an end to this, to bring back the creative games the PC is known for. To bring back honor and to restore the reputation of the computer gaming market. HELP ME! HELP US! HELP THE PC COMMUNITY TO RESTORE THE ONCE GREAT AND SOON TO BE GREAT AGAIN, PC GAMING COMMUNITY! Very Happy

. . .okay, fine, I got a little enthusiastic at the end, but I got carried away, I miss my old writing. I'm not that weird. . .I hope not. Confused

. . .well, at least its nice to know you scan my posts.

I'll try writing 'Shock' in every sentence next time. Though, I'm sure if I try that, you'll just ignore it all together.
