    Did you recently play HL1 ?

    My favourite memory was running through that pressure door to be confronted with that huge empty silo with the fan at the bottom. It seems so big at the time that it took my breath away. I just stood there in awe, shortly before thinking, now where the f**k do i go. Little did I know it involved...

    Did you recently play HL1 ?

    I'm actually playing through the PS2 version at the moment. Saw it on sale for £9.99 and couldn't resist. Just interested to see how different it is. Just finished the 'On the rail' section, I tend to play for 20mins or so before I go to bed. Only problem is that you end up having very strange...

    any tips for the 1st pc builder?

    what i was trying to point out was this, if hes building a machine to play Halflife 2 then whats the point of spending a fortune buying a 3.2Ghz MT Pentium. He'd be better buying a more value based processor and spending his money on a better card. On a 2600+ with a 9800np he'll get about 5500...

    Nvidia PCI-X in the works

    Sorry it is a Windows 2000 Server. Still shit though. Engineers come out and change stuff in it every month, declare it healthy, only for it to fall over again the next day.

    Nvidia PCI-X in the works

    One last rant (I wish I hadn't said anything now :( ): The PC market needs Apple. Apple are the innovators in this industry that cannot be denied. People laughed when they introduced the GUI interface to computing. They laughed when Apple brought us the mouse. They laughed when Apple...

    Nvidia PCI-X in the works

    That must of been in the days before OS X. Our studio has about 10 Macs. The OS X Server handling huge files was switched on in Jan 2002 and has worked continuously to this day without a restart (oh sorry we shut it down for the xmas period :) ). The other Macs running OS X get put to sleep at...

    and here is my new pc :)

    eBuyer is a very cool place to buy from. I'm suprised they weren't cheapest for everything. All those delivery charges from different companies soon mount up and make it more worth while buying from one place. Your gonna need more than a 330w PSU. That 9800pro needs plenty of juice. £275 for...

    Another 9600

    The Tyan is the best 9600pro you can get, especially if you are going to overclock it. Read this if you need convincing: http://www.hardocp.com/article.html?art=NTAy

    New version of Hammer for Macs?

    I'm an avid mac user, you wouldn't get it working on an old G3 iMac with any decent performance. Fake. Could be running it under emulation, something like Virtual PC. Even worse performance though

    Nvidia PCI-X in the works

    OSX is based on Unix, there is no point in moving to Linux. It is a common myth the creative industry is moving from Mac to PC. I didn't mean all this to turn into a Mac/PC debate. I was just mentioning that Apple was using PCI-X. I apologise but I'm a little touchy when people start.

    Nvidia PCI-X in the works

    and thats about it. PC's rock with games but Windows really does suck for everything else. I love the fact that my PC can easily be upgraded with cheap parts, but not as much as I love the fact that my Mac just works.....always

    Nvidia PCI-X in the works

    The Apple Dual 2Ghz G5 has PCI-X & Dual 1 GB bandwidth. Also ATI releases its new cards to Apple first, occasionally.

    Nvidia PCI-X in the works

    Nice to see it running on a Dual 2Ghz G5 Apple though. Performance wise it would be awesome. I agree PC are great for Games, Apple is better for everything else by miles. OSX is bulletproof

    The Day Has Come!!!!!!

    An A7NX8 is an Nforce2 board. I'm typing on it now. Unless they've completely changed the specs. EDIT: just checked, your right!!! why aren't you getting a Nforce2 board. Goodbye bandwidth and performnace.

    If you could build your monster PC

    spoken by someones whos never really used one. And don't say you have, cause anyone that has wouldn't have that narrow mined opinion. PC's are great, at games they rock. But in computing/OS terms we're talking Fords and Ferrari's. I didn't want this to become a Mac flame session. I'm in this...

    Hey gabe and co. arent even working on hl2.

    It's been dusted for ages now, all this ho ha is just hype and publicity. Look at us all straining to see every scrap of info...we're fools. I reckon it was in final playtesting the week it was announced. These last few months have been to set up steam and finish all the business side of the game.
