    Saw the movie this past weekend. Liked it alot, the plot weren't the best but it definitely delivered solid movie value.

    I managed to score 4. Good enough

    Though i would do even worse, sometime it feels like I'm totally colorblind.

  • EU / US Power Cables

    Well, it's actually good that they are different since we don't use the same voltage. If i would take a product made for the US market and plug it into a power socket over here it would most definitely fry unless it supports both. Most power supplies have a switch that enables you to switch between the two.

    If it's true I'm never going to buy a single EA distributed game again.

    Yeah, i would also recommend a samsung. Solid build quality, good price, good picture quality.

    Played the PC demo, didn't relly like it. To much arcade for my taste. And the blur makes the game look like shiet.

  • To Vista or not to Vista, thats the question!

    • NormySan
    • May 22, 2008 at 1:40 PM

    I would say go with xp. Vista is nice but you lose to much performance in resource heavier games and programs.

    I would guess that you have ddr1 ram.

    To be honest, you can't run crysis in dx10 at very high with a 8800gt. It's unplayable. Atleast if you want to play at a decent resolution. Even with a dual 8800gt setup you get low fps. You need a monster rig to run this game.

    And in reply to what peris said. The 8800gt isn't a high end card, not if you look at the pricing. Depending on where you live you can get the card way cheaper than €250. If you compare price per fps the 8800gt is the best card to get imo. If you wanted a card like this about 1 month ago you would have to buy a 8800gtx at about €450.

    I haven't relly checked out any reviews on the new ATI cards. I think they are a tad bit cheaper and a tiny bit slower but i belive you still get alot for youre money.

    I would wait untill i could buy a totaly new rig. The prices right now on computer parts are a dream! You can get a brand spanking new computer for a very reasonable amount of money (well, atleast here in sweden you can).

    You're rig sounds very old, you don't say what kind of CPU you have... My OLD rig had a AMD 3200+, 1gig ram, and ati 9700 that is way better than a gf4.

    If you could get any of those 6800s for a very low price go ahead and buy but don't go to the store and get a new set of ddr1 ram sticks or an AGP card. NOT worth it. Even if the "newer" games like hl2, q4, fear etc will run better they won't run anywhere near like they will on a new computer.

    It's the same with the huge dome. Looking away from it you get decent fps and it's playable but if you turn around and look in the direction of the dome it drops instantly and becomes almost unplayable.
