I couldve sworn I read somewhere episode 2 will come out in 6 months, sooo... Novemberish/Decemberish. Xmas sounds good to me. Pitty we gotta wait that long :(. I wanna see what happend to Alyx cause of the little clip at the end of episode 1. From what it seems, the combine are going to...
I just beat it this morning, seemed kina short but that's ok. The beginning was a lil confusing but did the vortigaunts basically "free" you from the gman? And how long can they hold him at bay.
First back up all your pr0n. jk, but back up all your files and whatnot and reformat after installing the mobo/cpu. Windows acts funny if you install a new motherboard and stuff such as the "invisible LAN port". I had this happen to me after replacing a motherboard with a different one. XP...
800mb of RAM? Mine is using around 60mb of RAM. I disabled some unneccessary services and am running 43 processes which include IE7, Trillian, and eTrust Antivirus Vista Beta. This free etrust I downloaded from their site is the only full working AV that I know of. I think Norton Corp works...
Beta 2 is running very stable for me, I've only had 2 errors. First was NOD32 wasn't compatible so I had to uninstall it (etrust has a beta for Vista which I'm using now) and I forgot what I was doing when it froze up. Other than that, very smooth. Runs Guild Wars fine.
Dell actually makes good laptops, I'd avoid their desktops only. Best laptop makers I think are HP and Dell. I own an HP Pavlion zv6130us and it plays CS:S decently. Runs Guild Wars great. But if you want tiny HP has some for sale with AMD Turions, I think Dell has a teeny laptop too. Just...
I'm running Vista Beta 2 and Office 2007 Beta 2 on my laptop. I'm also using Vista to write this post. Downloaded it today off newsgroups. How did I activate? Simple...just activate over the phone and tell the (no offence) foreign guy that it's only installed on one system. Runs pretty...
Buy some canned air and blow the dirt out of the fan in the back, the vents in the front. That's the best I could do w/out opening it up. Not that I have a warranty anyway since I got it a year after it came out. Basically any openings you see blow the air into them. Also buy a CD Laser Lens...
I'm using XP x64 and all my games run fine. HL2, CS:S, Guild Wars. Those are the main games I play. Haven't had one blue screen/problem yet. Must be the 4800+
edit:it also runs very stable, even my x86 programs work fine.
this happend to a friend of mine, he just replaced his drive. This even happend to my cousin's Playstation 2! It would not read CD games, only DVD games. He's gone through 2 PS2s and I've had mine I dunno how long, about a year after PS2 came out. Anydangway, my guess is the CD "reader"...
I say close any programs you dont need, disable uneccesary services, and disable dumb startup items that shouldnt even start. Right now with only 26 processes I have 1.7 gigs of RAM free with only 2gigs of memory. But that's with firefox and AIM running. I probably have 1.8 gigs of RAM free...
I think it's the motherboard, I KINDA had a problem like this with a PC, but instead...the mobo didn't like the memory I put in it even though it's same speed, same CL. It was a basic office IBM PC for work and it wouldnt load all the software, it would reboot while I was installing Windows...
Guild Wars is broken now though :(. Anyway, you can find me on that game. 2 accounts. Names for em are "Crytina Olympus" and the other "Bro Manzier". Darn merchants were sellin Superior Vigor Runes for 250G and others were cheap as well. It was a server error so it's down till like 11:30ish...
