[zos'la]

I'm ordering mine today!!! cancelled my DSE one and got my refund!!!! lawl.

woot woot woot!!!.

Btw Mat, I made my own stick from a ps1 controller, its not hard to make so if you require some hlpe i got websites that are really helpful which helped me making mine.

just tried teh benchmark for SF4 on teh weekend, I can run HIGH on all using 800x600... but any higher resolution with require mid -low settings
I think i need to upgrade my VGA... 8600 GT is still not enough, god!!!

[[NIUE] BIRRY WONG]

Even if my computer COULD run it on the highest settings, i would still be playing it on low to avoid as much lag as possible.

This man is a pro. I almost always turn everything down to low except for shit like shadows and sometimes model details depending on the game

8600GT is pretty crap.

Oh wait you're used to CS right? hahaha

[HoneyBadger]

omg Alan with da 1.6 burrrrrn

[zos'la]

yeah.. with CS i got 100 fps constant... but this game i get like 60 fps constant with the above settings. my 8600 GT 512 seems .. old now.

My mate got 9800 GT 1024 and can run at highest resolution with everything maxed, constant 60 fps... I think i need one now

[fluxcore]

9800gt even ain't so hot overall these days I think...

They aint too bad If you get the right one.  Some of them overclock really great.

I sploded my last 9800.  Had to put my 8600gt back in.  Little buggers chuggin away like no ones business.. hahahaha!

Might pick up a 275 or 260 at xlan.  See what the specials are.

[HoneyBadger]

Yeah, there's no point getting a 9 series over an 8 series unless you're going to overclock imo

Īm thinking of Upgrading my mobo and cpu.  Dont know much about AMD, but liked the looks of this.  Washu reckon?

I don't swing that way anymore Lenny

I'd stay away from AMD, they've been doing a lot of weird shit lately... changing up socket architecture left, right and centre... almost going bust before the merger with ATI...

They had their hay day back when the Thunderbird was introduced, all the way up to the Athlon 64 X2's, but I think they're way behind Intel nowadays... Have only ever heard good things out of the new Intel core 2 duo's, although they're a tad on the expensive side at the moment as far as I know

Ive got a E6300/6200? I2Core Duo.  Its been really good since I have had it, but am thinking its time for an upgrade.

Maybe I should just replace the chip and go for a better graphics card?

[fluxcore]

if your mobo supports it and you want to upgrade cpu, get an E8400

that and a new gfx card will bring you right up to speed
