Yeah, what a drag, having probably the best game system of all time...

the system is fine, it's their business practices i don't agree with.

sony can go to hell... i learned my mistake by buying a ps2.

how can bob be working on another game when he's already working on a mmo...

booting from usb is dependant on the bios... the only way to know would be to look at the boot options... it might also be printed in the motherboard manual, but i can't be arsed to look because gigabyte's website blows chunks.

the difference between the shifter - pedal connectors is just male - female, isn't it? i'm sure you can still find a rs-232 m-to-f connector out there.

what track is that, fern bay?

Quote from Gabkicks :

yeah, that is a bad sign. the only game I've ever heard anyone recommend using some deadzone in was gt5 prologue w/ the porsche wheel. I've yet to try gt5p myself, so i dont even know if that is neccessary. I wonder why he doesnt just set it on the wheel instead of ingame. maybe he doesn't know he can.

it was fine with the g25 without doing any configuring.

oops, the video is removed by Youtube

just search for "stairway to heaven tower", you'll find it.

apparently the guy who posted the video got tired of asking sites to take it down, so it's out there for anyone who wants to see it...

Quote from Hoshimodo :

According to rumours there will be some good releases this year

you sure that wasn't last year (which came and went over 12-21 months ago)?

Quote from amp88 :

On the ATi (AMD) vs nVidia issue if you're planning to run linux on it (which I assume you are...) I'm pretty sure nVidia are still better than ATi (AMD) in terms of linux support (though they've been improving recently). Could be worth putting more research into that issue.

haven't decided... it depends on how development of a game goes.

Quote from amp88 :

USB2.0 vs USB3.0 is interesting. USB3.0 will probably be very handy for doing backup to external HDD in the future. At the moment USB2.0 is only really good for 25-30MB/sec continuous transfer whereas USB3.0 should be able to max out the hard drive / enclosure limitations. Something else that could be worth looking into if you're going to be backing up a large-ish HDD regularly.

wasn't planning on it, but there's always esata as well... but my backups are usually done over the network, to disk, so chances are i won't need them either.

i think this is more of a case of "i just need a machine", than anything. hell, the motherboard in my i7 is micro-atx.

Quote from Shotglass :

then why are you planning on paying the 30-50$ price premium for a board with both?

because i think it was the cheapest of msi boards that supported the processor...

for years i swore on asus, but they always had the reputation of being expensive. plus, the asus board in my prescott has blown up once, causing me to replace it. add to that, that the athlon's asus motherboard has bulging capacitors on it.

msi's boards on the other hand, appear to have increased in quality since the early-00's... the one in my i7 is running great. (of course, 1 month isn't much of a testing time, but they claim to be military grade)

i'd prefer to stay away from the really budget motherboard brands.

Quote from Bean0 :

I'm sure I said 460

oops, my mistake.

Quote from Shotglass :

why would anyone want to live in canada anyway? its just elks trees and french people

i see more middle-eastern and asian people than i do french people.

</ot>

Quote from Shotglass :

1) get the i5-760 its just a tiny bit more expensive and also a tiny bit faster ie i think overall its worth it

i probably won't need the extra 133mhz, but i'll think about it.

Quote from Shotglass :

2) the gts250 is a over 3 year old card now so avoid it (i think weve been over this before)

yeah, we did on irc...

bean0 thinks i should get the gtx 460.

Quote from Shotglass :

3) except for those 16 graphics card pcie lanes all other pcie lanes in p55 boards are effectively pcie 1.0 spec which is a serious bottleneck for sata 6 and usb 3 so make sure each of these controllers is connected to at least 2 lanes on the board (i think asus is currently the only board manufacturer that offers a 2*2 => 4 lane setup for usb3 and sata6)

i have no plans for sata6 or usb3... the g25 is a usb2 device, and that's probably all that's going to be plugged into it.

keep the ideas flowing though...

dang, the video is gone again... anyone got a new link?

nevermind, i got one... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQv-o5Kgbko

looks like the streisand effect is in full swing.

my athlon xp is starting to feel it's age, after many years of faithful use... so i'm looking at pricing out a new machine to replace it.

i was originally thinking a c2q would meet my needs, but since the core-i# series cpu's are coming out more and more, i'm wondering if an i5 is a better long-term solution.

i don't need a blistering new video card, and i probably don't need more than one video card, but i would prefer nvidia over ati for various reasons. has to have dvi outputs though, for connection to a tv.

the rest i don't really care about, ram is dirt cheap these days, and the kingwin power supplies i bought for my i7 server and prescott PVR are working just great, even though probably don't need 600W power supplies. i could stand to buy a case, but i could always recycle the one housing the athlon right now.

here's a parts list i was working on last week.

can anyone see potential problems with that setup? thanks

D - The crack can become longer/bigger due to the chassis flex

or weather (rapid temperature changes).

Quote from Sueycide_FD :

Yeah it was in a Way older Asus machine. DDR, AGP, Socket 478. Now im trying to use it in a DDR3, PCI-E, AM3 machine.

install windows over top of itself. problem solved.

who is your provider then, because ro-bell-us just changed their unlimited data plans... they're truly not unlimited, they're like 3gb and they charge huge overage fees...

Quote from Crashgate3 :

I am petrified of heights - I get a squirty guts feeling even look over the balcony we have at work, just 30 feet or so down to the reception.

me too... i live on the third floor of my building, and i can't look directly down... the laundry room is on the eleventh floor, and when i'm on it's balcony, i get tight in the chest and weak in the knees just looking out on an angle... i can look at nice landscape pictures, but that video just creeped me right-the-f***-out. who in their right mind would climb that thing?
