Ditto. I don't even use my current home snail mail address either.:) I haven't touched the game for almost since its release date, and I had no problems. I haven't played the game for almost two years too.
Basically, I downloaded, installed required components, rebooted (required), and automatically ran NBC's beta program. Then, it said XP or Vista required. I went to my %temp% folder/directory. There was a WinZip self-extraction folder/directory with the extracted files. Copied that to somewhere. Closed the error message to abort the installation. Went back and ran the psetup or something (don't have the program anymore to check and I did in a VMware v4.5.3 W2K guest image) and that installed NBC's program. I tried to run the program, but kept getting Storefront Offline error. I guess that is why it wants XP or higher.:P
Even an old 17" CRT between analog and HD is a big difference to me too. And this is at 1152x864 resolution! Definitely differences. Of course, this is fullscreen.
Those small stores don't always have the movies and some are far. I do try to borrow my friends' and coworkers' DVDs if possible. If not, then rent from Hollywood Video. However, these days I rarely watch movies.:(
I wonder how it is on an old PowerBook (1 Ghz; 60 GB HDD) with 512 MB of RAM from 2002. Has anyone tried it on it? I still use Mac OS X 10.2.8 with Fink.
I only use TV tuner cards for when I am recording or watching TV. I never use them at the same time and running when I game or watching TV.
As for memory, I am reusing the one from my 754 tosave money. Would it make that much difference if I got faster ones (not OC)?
And for air flow, yes. It was worse before I got this computer case. I had a generic ATX case, and the temperatures were way worse. With the used mid tower Antec P180 ATX case with four 120mm case fans, my temperatures were cooler. I haven't had any random crashes or anything bad. Computer remained stable even in my 85 degrees(F) room. I hear my stock CPU fan spin up and down too.
Thanks for the tips. UT3 ran great on my system which I was surprised. Same for Orange Box with all its games too, but then it is an old game engine. I am probably going to buy Crysis on its first release week since they're usually on sale and just play it later like in 2008 after I upgrade my hardwares. Beside, I have other games to finish.;)
How much more FPS will I get out of that for newer games like Crysis? If it is like 5-10 FPS, then it is not worth it. I am not sure if I have room for another PCIE card in my system and adding more heat will make my system more hotter (my room is like 85 degrees(F) during heat waves so you can see how bad inside the case is; I do have air cirulation in it).

I'd rather see native ports for games. None of this Wine stuff!

Did you watch Clone Wars cartoon that took place between episode 2 and 3?
Does he/she post anonymously? If not, then who is it? ;)
Lucky was last seen in Boston in TD Banknorth Garden Arena supporting the Celtics.
For temporarily. ;) That is why I never upgrade right away.
XP SP3 is happening. It is in testing now. I believe it is at RC1 now.
BetaNews say this is not high definition/HD.
This isn't dial-up BBS. :)

Rats, I thought this was about the miniseries to HD. :P
At least she didn't leave a note on the boot sector. :)

Yeah, I want to see the raw video footage even if it is GB size. :)
Why doesn't move act like copy and delete? Why must it delete right away during the moving?
YouTube video clip shows how it can be done without an electronic device. Just use yourself. [grin]

Computer illiterates won't know what a plug-in and codec are.
So, what happens if you get locked in the soundproof room? :)
Hmm, I think reading /. violates my employer's IT Policies. :P

Yeah, I tried medium on each graphic options. It makes my game ugly. [grin] :)

Oooh yes, I hate those blocky pixels especially with low resolutions!
