Any of you all have any CD-R media prefs? I usually like TDK and verabatim, but it looks like Fuji is easy to find in the higher speeds. Fuji ok? Do you all have any error stories? In the old days, burners were very choosy about media. Is that getting better? I have a burner that can do 52x and lot ...

I like throwing smart misssiles around the corner of the huge room in Subway, but I doubt people type in there much. I also have no clue who is there, I just like to fire and run in order to make life hard for the good players. A good score/ratio is DEFINATELY not my problem. Im a professional die-r...

Ned

Nope. Im ok, but thanks

Ned

I'm on again. YAY! I think it was just the word "test" set off a red flag. IF you're reading this: tx for letting me in.

Been playing Doom3 too. OMG it is so gross. Im only now starting to get used to it.. Talk about unhealthy games for kids. . . .sheeesh

However, awesome graphics!

Ned

It IS addictive, but you can always buy "new circuit board scent" and spray it under the seats. . .

Ned

Thanks for all of the help. The system is up and running flawlessly, well except for the DOA NEC DVD-RW which I will hopfully swap soon. I am glad I got a gig of RAM. Doom3 runs flawlessly in case any of you all were wondering how the GeForce6800 non GT non Ultra would fare. Now the only problem is....

Ned

Thanks Bettina!

I was reinstalling my system. I also tried to log on with an unpatched Descent, but who knows what the red flag was. . .

I did accidently kill someone who was typing a few days ago, but I said sorry, so I dunno

Probably a mistake

Ned

ok, Posted there.

Darn and I like SD. IF anyone gets in, please tell them to unban me. Do they see name, IP, or both?

Ned

How do you find that email address?

Ned

How could I do any of that (which I wouldn't) if I couldnt get on, and haven't been on for days?

NO to all of the above, whenever I am on. . .

Ned

I just tried to join the following game:
TCP Houston Express Subway Dancer V1.1 1 Anarchy 1 6 24.167.62.114:2093 [?]

but it wouldn't let me saying BANNED! My name was "test"

What's up with that?

Ned

I kind of want to play a D3 match on 2 PCs with a crossover cable sometime. I'm not sure if I still have one around.

Ned

OK, update. I am sending it back Paperclip in the hole does nothing. If you press the eject briefly OR hold it for like 5 seconds the same thing happens: a little green light comes on, a little wooshing noisees is heard, the light goes off, and nothing happens. The drive has no obvious transport scr...

Ned

you are probably right

Uggggg, mail order

Ned

Hi'

Trying to put the system together

Bought an NEC OEM ND-2510A DVDRW

It is powered correctly, but when I try to hit the eject button, nothing! Just a few soft noises and drawer never opens no matter what I do. Is it defective? I also tried master and slave, no diff

Bummin,

Cool. I leave you all alone for 5 minutes and a flame war breaks out! :wink: Actually, it's too bad the DBB doesn't get more traffic. I already ordered stuff, so I'll have to live with it. It'll probably be fine. I appreciate everyone's advice. One thing though, some people are very picky and others...

Ned

I had to transgress once in order to get the noble message of our cause to the masses.

Ned

Stop the exploitation of electrons. Electrons are slavishly forced to sprint through myriads of circuits against their will. No pay, no food, no chance for a family, no meaningful life outside the insulation nor voting rights. Video games are brute oppression of undocumented electron workers. Use or...

whaat is O_o ???????

Ned

What is VIA? Is that graphics card maker?

I can look into the other memory types. I chose that one because it was on the ASUS website as an approved memory part #

Ned

graphics cards are so confusing. The more I read the more confused I get

Ned

my friend bought me a copy of Doom, now I'll defintely need to upgrade just to open the box. . . .

Ned

Hey you all. I am planning on building a new system to run Doom3 (at all) and Descent3 (better), etc. Here is the list of specs I have researched partially with you guys' help. If there any incompatibilities or criticisms, let me know. 1 POWMAX Silver/Blue Mid Tower ATX Case with 400W 501-1 2 ASUS &...

Ned

Well, it IS California. Land of fruits and nuts

Ned

Yep they are AMP 64 3000+ chips, but they both say retail. The guy at new egg couldn't figure it out. And 2 or 3$ difference? Very bizarre.

and# N82E16819103424

Ned

I'm in the same boat. I think I'm gonna build a system with an ASUS K8V SE and
AMD Athlon 64 3000+, 512KB L2 Cache 64-bit Processor

Do you all think it will run the new Doom 3 well?

Ned

thanks!

Ned

I looked on www.newegg.com and cannot find the difference between the following:

ADA3000BOX $173
ADA3000AXBOX $175

I called new egg, they couldn't tell me either and I cannot get through to AMD.

Who loves a puzzle?

Ned

what is the difference?

I was looking at newegg.com

Ned

So NOW my question is: is the problem my CPU or my graphics card. Its a 64 mb radeon 7500. Maybe my CPU is not keeping track of all the data in the scene well? Dell Pentium3-866 320RAM, W98SE Anywhooooo, I am still considering seriously building an AMD/ASUS system. Suggestions for a good CPU and Mob...

Ned

Hey Y'all,

I tried an experiment. I hooked up a CRT instead of my LCD. The choppy/blurry problem was the same, if not a little worse. I noticed in the outdoors scene of D3level1 my fps was about 25 and it looked crappy.

Ned

I must add for balance: Dear Dell, I have purchased Dells for the government and found your phone people to be incompetent, disorganized, poorly networked, and sometimes rude. Sometimes if they can't figure out what to do they will just hang up. . .oops. Shame on you. If this junk continues, Dell bu...

Ned

Guys, What is so bad about Dells? Ive had like 5 and installed ~ 10 of them. I've: added extra HDs added extra RAM added CDRW added NIC added video cards None of this was very hard or problematic. Is it possible you are dumping on Dell where Windows (ick) is at fault? Since I know nothing about MBs ...

Ned

good call. . .

Welcome back!!!!

My parents gave me alot of freedom early on, but then again, I wasn't an attractive girl... (no jokes please)

Hooray,

Ned

Bettina, Sorry about your hiatus (pause in playing). Your Dad is looking out for you. Be patient, you will be back online soon. Just do some other things you enjoy until you and he work it out. And now the lecture: The DBB seems to have a lot of nice people, however, you never know generally with th...

Ned

Could this be a trap? IE, accuse you of being "too close"," then steal money, then wait for you to put a camera, and then document that there is a camera there? Hopefully it's just a nanny or cleaner issue, not marital discord. Sucks. I feel sorry for your daughter to ever feel like h...

Ned

Thanks Iceman. I usually bought Dells. I may need to get more adventurous.

Ned

thanks for all of the good comments. I am debating building a good AMD system. The problem is I know nothing about MBs and CPUs. Uggggg. Budget is maybe like up to fifteen hundreed, incl good monitor
