don't agree with the memory choice. if you're gonna take a triple channel motherboard, get triple channel memory to go with it, a 3x4gb kit is the best bet for value/performance Patriot Viper II Sector 7 Edition 12GB (3 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model PV7312G1600ELK http://www.newegg.co...N82E16820220499

http://www.bit-tech....0-3gb-review/10 From Engadget: NVIDIA's dual-GPU GeForce GTX 590 emerges, can't slay the Radeon HD 6990 titan By Vlad Savov http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadget.com/media/writer_rss.gif posted Mar 24th 2011 9:17AMBreaking Newshttp://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadget.com/media/post_icon_stats.gifhttp://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadget.com/media/post_icon_video.gif Still, there's a ton of grunt under that oversized shroud and reviewers have put it to the test against AMD's incumbent single-card performance leader, the Radeon HD 6990. Just like the GTX 590, it sports a pair of AMD's finest GPUs and costs a wallet-eviscerating $699. Alas, after much benchmarking, testing, and staring at extremely beautiful graphics, the conclusion was that AMD retains its title Read - AnandTech Read - HardOCP Read - Tech Report Read - PC Perspective Read - Guru 3D Read - X-bit labs Read - Hot Hardware Read - techPowerUp! Read - TechSpot EDIT: anand tech: Of the games NVIDIA does well in, only Civ5 is a game we’d classify as highly demanding; the rest are games where the GTX 590 is winning, but it’s also getting 100+ frames per second. Meanwhile on the games AMD does well at the average framerate is much lower, and all of the games are what we’d consider demanding. Past performance does not perfectly predict future performance, but there’s a good chance the 6990 is going to have a similar lead on future, similarly intensive games (at least as long as extreme tessellation isn’t a factor)

you can make crysis cry with one 6970 however if you want the best, the HD6990 beats any and all other cards, including nvidia's latest dual gpu (5somethingXT ??). it only costs $700 CAD (about the same in USD)

ya but the speed increases!!! im going to want to sell my computer in 6 months so I can build a new one. it's a drug

120 gig drives usualy yield a significant speed difference over lesser 80/64gb drives. check out the stats! i regret getting a 64gb ssd and may sell it and get a 120 gig

stop being bipolar EDIT: how dont you have a "i'm terrimad" option

gravitron, you don't need any special cooling if you are not overclocking. the provided fans and heatsinks with the cpu, case, gfx card etc are more than fine for stock speeds. if you want to make crysis cry, any modern high end card will do it. the cry engine has been around for a while! EDIT: make sure to change your ram clock speeds in the BIOS, i dont know your level of computer building but that's probably the main thing people forget. and you might want to read up on running your SSD on IDE or AHCI, there are varying schools of thought on which is better

ahahahah i had a good laugh at this line, the author has a flare (no pun intended?) for the dramatic: "Continuum has been on version .39 for at least 100 years. Priit has promised a new update every two weeks during that time."

agreed with Mav, as much as I prefer Subspace. that's actually not a bad idea at all!

That's words that sound like the thing they describe. The examples LC gave are decidedly not actual words. But onomatopoeia is a good vocab word, none the less. the live action batman tv show used a lot of them

guns in ss pew pew pew!

my win7 runs amazing and i do not make any modifications to the OS, it is pretty much stuck (some small tweaks). dell D630 latitude with a full core 2 duo 2.5ghz 4gb ram and an intel x-25 ssd. the ssd makes molto bene. i def find it faster than XP was on this laptop. faster boot, faster loading of apps.

why have an ignore.txt? the chat is half the fun of SS, trolls, idiots and all!

well, it's probably because you have a history of doing so, so mods have a low tolerance for you

i agree that zones can do whatever they want. Silencing players, however, should be used more often. Silence before banning if chat is being abused.

i wash my hands after pooing and always after peeing when in a washroom that is not my house. at home i almost always wash hands after, just a habit. i'll tell you what's a more important question: How many of you remove your shirts when dropping a deuce at work/school? If you do not, try it, you'll feel like a new man when you put your shirt back on. Also, put your shirt back on before you flush incase something goes wrong.

mad_max, when entering a zone, press F1 to scroll through the help windows (most zones have customized the help windows with specific info) as well, in-game you can use the ?help command to ask a question. ex: ?help hwo2 shoot it will send the question to all online staff, someone will help you out. it's a pretty good community. enjoy!
