i've heard that the XBOX 360 is already riddled with probs like crashing (what a surprise there) and the discs would just stop reading at random. That's typical microsoft fashion. rushing out products before they are fully tested and debugged (Windows Me). Me other than my PC the newest gaming equipment I have is the PS/X and the N64. I also have on my state of the art set up a SNES and an NES. I have a Sega Genesis layin around somewhere obviously not gettin used (never had any good games for it except the Strike series). cause the adapter i had gotten from my old Logitech Z-640's, i have an

more than likely you can get an after market MicroATX or whatever format PSU the PC has off of newegg for cheap. Cheaper than a case and psu and a whole lot les trouble. I'd try to find you one but I am at school right now and newegg is blocked.

actually having AGP will make a difference in the smoothness of movement in games while AGP and PCI will have about the same FPS trust me. on my Grandad's PC it had a PCI GeForce4 MX420. well playing BF1942 the mouse movements were god awful. It jerked a lot. but i put in an AGP 4X GeForce2 MX400 and the mouse movements smoothed out but the FPS went down. but all is well now in that system now that my old AGP GeForce FX5700 Ultra is in it.

twin harddrive setup. i have repartioned the main drive with from fat32(98se) to NTFS(XP) (that's what messed it up) to EXT3 (FC4) (in an attempt to recover my files that failed) the second drive still has it's EXT3 format with FC4 installed but it is unbootable. I've tried to setting the jumpers on the drive for master and booting the drive by itself but nothing other than a blinking line. And it did that back before i screwed up the bootlaoder when i tried to boot the drive by itself but it worked fine when both drives were in. I'm putting 98se back on the first drive if someone can help me

never worked

I'm a gamer, that's why i use windows. I'd love to love Linux but all this mounting CD's Floppies and even hard drives (haven't figured hard drives yet) and the humongous pain that a lot programs are to install. so far wine is the only one that installs like a windows program but only in gnome and not KDE. If it were easier and had support for my games, i'd never use windows due to all the vulnerabilities and bugs.I do have fun with it a little on my old gateway but i have had one nag. the sound and video get out of sync on flash files but when in 98se no probs. I wish i had a single box to de

GRUB

Ok i screwed up my bootloader a while back reinstalling windows on the Primary Drive SO i tried installing Linux over the windows install in an attempt to recover my files from the other hard drive. It do't work like windows so I thought in the middle of class today Hey what about a boot loader on a floppy or a boot loader i cna install form windows so i don't have to recover my files and start over. So does anyone know of any good ones out there i can use. Any hlep would be much appreciated. (Mutters to self "why ain't I thought of this before?" )

I usually just use a dry cloth like on my glasses. Something like a wash rag. good wipin keeps my glasses clear (i despise streaks on my glasses) and keeps my monitirs and TV's dust free and clean.

it's been like that here for a LONG time

ABS Mayhem Notebooks I suggest the Mayhem G3 Eclipse on this link I have provided.

eVGA GeForce 6600GT 128 GDDR3 PCI-E here's an alternate one MSI GeForce 6800 128 DDR just a little extra in the GPU but the memory is slower eVGA e-GeForce 6800 GS 256 GDDR3 Some extra horse power that's between 6800 and the 6800GT 425MHz Core with 12 pixel pipelines and 256MB GDDR3 makes me almost want one. I'm still chasin down 6800GT's on eBay

i'm sure you can but what frame rates do you get with AA turned up. I can turn mine up to that too but it'd run so bad it'd be unbearable. at the settings i have set it usually stays around 40-55 and sometimes shoots to 80-120 especially in indoors areas. also xxkbxx if you play half-life 2 or most other games for that matter use bilinear filtering on a 6600GT for best results (except in medal of honor allied assaultt max that s.o.b. except shadows, oddly enough if you turn it past simple the game plays like crap)

personally i like nVidia. and brand cards i like eVGA. they are solid made good warranties and the step-up program is cool too. top end ATI usually only out performs nVidia in Half-Life 2 in the benchmarks. sometimes in UT2K4 too. but when were talking 7800GTX 512 vs Radeon1800XT in half-life2 nVidia wins in higher resolutions like 1600x1200 with 4x anti-aliasing but only when not in SLI and against only 1 Radeon. with crossfire enabled they are better i think. SLI 7800GTX 512's demolish ATI in just about everythin else. but it don't seem like you are that hardcore about games or even have the

ok, just making suggestions.

MSI also makes nVidia cards but Asus does not make ATI Crossfire boards i don't think

i added myself

If you get a crossfire mobo you can use 2 ATI cards but if you get an nVidia card that can allow you to upgrade to a second one later with that SLI board. not to sound mean or anything but i have yet to figure out why people keep getting SLI boards and put an ATI card in them. you can only use 1 card making the sli function useless.

man it takes to long to upload that much though i just tried to upload a 4.7mb file and i don't think it even worked

thanks The Terrorist 75 your advice fixed it. Thanks Pete C for telling me where to find the file. Unfotunately I can not get the system to boot into safe mode. But now i don't need it. Thanks.

ok where is the host file and I only get this stop error when trying to open in safe mode and the dern thing says to open in safe mode to troubleshoot. My system is runnin backwards. works in normal but don't in safe. this sucks.

OK i remeber the key but i get this stop error everytime i try to boot into safe mode. 0x0000000A

Alright i'll try that stuff wait what is the safe mode key ya hit? durin startup

already have maybe i'll try spybot and ad aware

Norton Internet Security 2003 (More Specificly Anti-Virus) won't update. It keeps giving me this when i update manually but it does neither auto of manual.
