  1. 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.

  2. Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4ghz

    Asus P5N32-E SLI Plus

    4GB Corsair Dominator

    Asus 8800GT 512mb

    Samsung SyncMaster 215TW (21" wide)

    Rougly 800gb hdd (1x500gb and 1x320gb)

    Antec Sonata case (first generation)

    Antec True Power Trio 550w power supply

    Regular logitech keyboard

    Microsoft intellimouse explorer 3.0

    Steelpad 4D mousepad

    Altec Lansing 2.1 speaker system, very old but still working great! :D

    I'm thinking about getting a new gfx card later this year.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. -- Spoilers? --

    Just completed crysis! It's an awesome game but damn it requires alot of juice from the gfx card. I bough a 8800gt just to play crysis but still that wasn't enough! It laggs so bad in dx10, had to play in dx9. Guess i didn't have to install vista after all :P

    But the visuals are simply amazing, sometimes it feels like you are playing a movie instead of a game! The levels inside the alien "ship" were simply amazing at points.

    Great game tough, will definitely have to give it another runthrough sometime when i get a new gfx >_<

    Going to try out the multiplayer now!

  7. I don't do much modeling and i can't boast about having any skills in it either, but when i have played around some with it i found maya to be the tool that worked best for me. I have never been able to export a model to source tough, i've tried everyting! So if you are going to do source models don't go maya :P

    I did try 3ds max in the past but i could never relly get my head around it.

    I have been playing some with XSI to, not much but i like it so far. And it seams to be a very good tool for poly modeling.
