@Ghort: if I were your old lady, instead of spending $10000 (TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS US) to play freecell with surround sound, you'd have bought me one of these:

Liquid cooling never evaporates for the same reason the coolant in your car doesn't. It is a closed cooling system. Unless you got the throwback swamp cooler...

So, what you guys are saying is that I should pour liquids into my computer to cool it down? It sounds crazy, but I guess it makes sense.
Hopefully this works better than the way everybody told me to haxor-proof my phone via microwave... |

Yep, don't even try to make a warranty claim SK...
Did you know placing refrigerator magnets on your computer near the hard disk and DIMM area will protect it from government scrutiny as well? |

I know you told me not to look it up, but I was curious.
So, let's say you need to switch out a part... do you just get some breaded fish and make the most of a bad situation? |

I spend so much time on my PC I never thought of it as a frippery. Actually, I have never thought of anything as a frippery as I just learned the word
Anywho, it's good to have something nice every now and again. It really wasn't that expensive.
Check it out, I found an axe
Opps, I missed. Not the second time though

Come on, you know you want to play |

^^Looks familiar
Slightly your system can't handle half life from 15 years ago so how would you know?
Perhaps you can find an Atari 2600 or even a NES emulator so you can play too. |

Have you tried turning your graphics card settings up?
Or is that as high as they will go?
I'd stay away from Half Life 2 if I were you. Your PC probably wouldn't be able to handle it. |

Actually no I haven't. Steam couldn't detect the optimal setting for my video card because it was still a little new and not used by enough people yet. By default it set everything on low.
The only thing I changed was the resolution size from 640 x 480 to 1280 x 720 wide screen. I'll see if there is anything else I can change or if raising the the resolution to 1600 X 900 make that big of a difference.
Checking now. Every thing but shader detail was set to high. I set shader detail to very high and enabled mulitcore rendering. I set the resolution to 1366 x 768. If I see an improvement I will go higher.
Slightly, if you want one just save up your beer money for a few months. You'll have one in about four months if you drink as much as it seems
Edit: anti aliasing mode was set to none. I changed it to the highest 8X MSAA |

I turned up something else to the highest as well. Filtering mode I think. Says it sharpens details. Resolution was set to 1600 X 900. It looks a little better.

Why smoke? What does 8X MSAA do?
My system was designed for gaming. On the highest setting there wasn't even a loading delay or any choppiness during game play.
You system might smoke but that is what happens when you buy cheap parts and put it together yourself. |

Intel sees record first quarter.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/8618875.stm
This is mainly because of the kickback they got from Alienware on what you paid for your system. |

So that is relavent too...not how envious you are of Ghost's new system.
BTW, HalfLife2 runs fine on XPS 400 with maxed DIMMs, XFX Geforce 9500GT |

@Badgerbait - If you enjoyed HL2 then I recommend left 4 dead part 1
http://store.steampowered.com/app/500/
Minimum system requirement are
Quote: |
- OS: Windows Vista, XP or 2000
- CPU: 3.0 GHz P4, Dual Core 2.0 or AMD64X2 (or higher)
- RAM: 1 GB for XP / 2GB for Vista
- Disc drive: DVD-ROM Drive
- Hard drive: At least 7.5 GB of free space
- Video: Direct X 9 compatible video card (Video card must be 256 MB or more and should be a DirectX 9-compatible with support for pixel shader 2.0)
- Sound: Direct X9.0c compatible sound card
|
L4D P1 played just fine on my old system. If you can run HL2 then L4D should work fine.
You don't really need a hot system to run L4D part 2
Quote: |
Left 4 Dead 2
System Requirements*
- Intel Processor - Core 2 Duo E4600 2.4GHz
- AMD Processor - Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4200+
- Nvidia Graphics Card - Geforce 7600 GT 256MB
- ATI Graphics Card - Radeon X1600
- RAM Memory - 2 GB
- Hard Disk Space - 7.5 GB
- Direct X - 9
|
Both are fun games. Check out L4D 2
@Slightly - My system is a little too new to blow up running games. After all it's not like I was some idiot who put my system together with cheap parts to save a few hundred dollars.
My service plan is fine. I have full coverage and in home service for four years.
You get what you pay for you tightwad you. |
