I do hope the HL2 has the same sounds when it starts up. That deep bass sound that goes BUUNNNGGG at the beginning ot the Value intro mov in HL makes me smile everytime. That sound is Halflife.
What do you think? can anybody here post it a .wav file?
9200 is a bit like the radeon equivilent of the GF 4MX. Avoid, underpowered and missing real DX9 features. Go for a 9600pro, can pick up for around £100.

to the casual gamer (which this chap clearly is) he will notice no difference. You can flame me all you like but personally I don't see any differences above 30 fps. I got a 9800np which runs games up at 80-100fps. Can't really tell the difference in-game from my last card apart from the...
bullshit!!!
I always thought this until recently. I played Chaser nearly all the way through before I turned on it's on screen FPS. I'd been more than happy with the performance until that point. When I actually saw the FPS i was shocked that it was only around 25-30. It was only after I knew...
The computer peripheral and component industry owes Value big time. I was at a comp fair today. I have never seem one so packed full of people. I swear every 10 secs you could overhear someone talking about HL2. I know the eBuyer.co.uk have found it difficult recently to forfill next day orders...
I booked the day off work, whether i buy it from a shop or steam, I gonna play it as soon as I can. Also with a Tuesday release, just playing in the evening and having to contemplate work the next day is a no go. I need a whole day. If it don't come out, well I head up the golf course instead. I...
just wait, its only about week away and the game still isn't spoilt for anyone. Why would you want to spoil the whole HL2 experience this close to its release.
I had a dream that I was playing HL2. As dreams go I ended up in HL2. I worked my way into a factory complex which was full of rolls of fabric. I then spent ages feeling different fabrics amazed at how good the physic engine was and how real they all felt. Weird dream.
your core is very high, be careful. The core on my 9800 is only at 380. As for settings, well welcome to the world of continual tweaking. There are no set rules, its a case of balancing for every game. You'll hardly notice in-game the difference between 2x and 4x AA or 8x or 16x AF. I have my...
I gotta feeling that the x version of that Asus board is not Nforce2. You might want to check to be sure. The XP 2500+ is worth the extra money, it overclocks brilliantly (the 2400 and 2600 are crap for that). You want 512 of RAM ideally at the same FSB speed of your CPU. Two banks of 256 as...
This is my very last rant, I'm sounding like a Mac Fanboy. The cheapest G5 is around £1600, for that you get a workstation speed machine. The High end machine is £2500, that will blitz any PC put near it on power and value. As for chip development, IBM have already prepped the G6 which is a...
