1. Got an older computer for free. - in Issues, Workarounds & Localization [original thread]
If you're buying a new motherboard, ram, cpu, and videocard you're basically building a new computer from scratch anyway. What the hell's the point of "upgrading" that old one. If you're replacing virtually every conceivable part it's not an upgra...

2. Station Lock Ups - in Issues, Workarounds & Localization [original thread]
Need more information on your configuration to be more helpful. What did you use to get those temps, what processor are you using, etc.

3. Physx cards - in Issues, Workarounds & Localization [original thread]
Nonetheless PPUs have been and still are useless. Graphics cards are important because there aren't enough CPU cycles to properly render everything smoothly. The same does not hold true for physics. There are more than enough CPU cycles left on an...

4. Physx cards - in Issues, Workarounds & Localization [original thread]
That's a really long-winded method of saying that you agree with me.

5. Dell XPS or Alienware? - in Issues, Workarounds & Localization [original thread]
You're on drugs if you think Falcon Northwest's prices are "competitive." You say they're "competitive" if you go high-end. You obviously don't build your computers if you feel that way. Here's the highest-end "bragging-rights" configuration and p...

6. Physx cards - in Issues, Workarounds & Localization [original thread]
Physics cards are useless. Newer GPUs can handle physics processing themselves, and if they can't it makes more sense to offload the physics processing to the CPU rather than a dedicated PPU. While some may say this will put undue stress on the CP...

7. Dell XPS or Alienware? - in Issues, Workarounds & Localization [original thread]
Edited by: Entity One on 02/10/2007 15:29:40 Falcon Northwest is a terrible company. You can configure similar systems that they offer for thousands of dollars less. When my friend was building a system with them, I configured a system with th...

8. Station Lock Ups - in Issues, Workarounds & Localization [original thread]
My opinion is that your system is overheating. There's something about the coding of stations that seems to eat up CPU power. Using speedfan, if I stay in a station my core temps will increase by over 15 degrees celsius after a few minutes. Use sp...
