Minnesota reminds me Timberwolves. How are the Timberwolves this season?

I was going to post the link for the forum that tranquilo posted here. People there seem to be very helpful.

Eheheh! You're a true romantic, Lou.

Welcome! In terms of historical campaign accuracy, OFF is unbeatable. It might not have the eye candy of RoF but you'll find yourself immersed in WWI, in a way much deeper than any other WWI combat simulator. I'm sure you'll not regret. Cheers

...and an increasing public debt (already closed to bankruptcy), a lot of corrupted politicians and a sense of there's no economical, judicial, financial and political solution. Nowadays it seems, that are the foreigners who regards more for Portugal than it's own natives. 2012 will be a funny year for Portugal, you'll see Olham.

Olham, in Portuguese is even worst. Only half a dozen books are translated. I've given up to read in Portuguese a long time ago. In terms of WWI and History's books, of course.

At least "Dreadnought", is a must. It's a reference book for the pre WWI. His writing style is very clear and vivid, so it makes the reading very enjoyable.

Unfortunately, in these days, I don't have much time to read. But one of the WWI books which is already waiting on my shelves is Robert K. Massie's "Castles of Steel". I've read from the same author "Dreadnought" some years ago, a great book about the naval rivalry between Britain and Germany after the death of Queen Victoria. I'm not sure if we can call it a sequel, but I sincerely hope to be as good as the first one.

One word: heavier. Have you seen the videos that were made at the IGROMIR 2010? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EvpTp12IcM&feature=player_embedded http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYYFlTzkI0M The computer was a: I5-760 , 2GB ram, GTX 460. Interesting, isn't it? It looks like... stop motion.

If you pay, you'll see it.

Are you Finnish, Hasse Wind? I thought you were German.

I remember them. That they rest in peace.

Yes , Middlebrook's "First Day on the Somme", is a great account of the Battle of the Somme. I'm sure you'd like it, Olham. And for the Battle of Verdun, you've another great classic book. Alistair Horne "The Price of Glory". Both depicts well the madness of how those battles were fought. An essential read for understanding WWI. No WWI's bibliography is complete without these two.

You've a PM.

It's looking great.

As far as I know, no. And I doubt it will. Why not unlock your DVD player and then import, BirdDog? There exists also software to copy and change the region of a DVD.

That's a fine explanation, almccoyjr. I never imagined that the difference of temperatures could be so huge between having 2 or 4 sticks.

I've a Corsair HX-750. So I think I can recommend it. I also like a German brand of PSUs, BeQuiet. BeQuiet support is great. I've lost some of the cables. I've emailed them if they could sell me the missing cables. Not only they freely sent a full new set of cables as they didn't even charge for the transport. Thats what I call a good customer service. So I recommend BeQuiet DarkPowerPro p8 750W.

I want more power not less, Olham. That PSU is a single rail. 40A might be enough. Don't know what kind of future upgrades you want to do it. I know that some components consume less, nowadays, but... if you overclock one day your system, you might need more power.

Can't you return that PSU and exchange for a powerful one? 600 it's on the edge. You should have bought more 100 or 200w. How many 12V rails and how many amp? If you don't know where to look, give me the PSU reference and I'll look it for you. When did you bought? You've at least 15 to 30 days to return it. At least in Portugal works that way. I wouldn't change your 4870. I'd wait for the ATI 6xxx series.

Actually 77Scout, don't do it again with @BIOS. Never, and I say never use any program to flash the motherboard bios, running in Windows. People, this is serious. I forgot to tell that in my last post. I've been tempted (OK I've done a couple of times but these doesn't count ) to do it, because it was really easy instead of using DOS. Never upgrade your BIOS with a Windows flash software. Here is a easy guide, done by my friends at TweekTown. This forum is 1000 times better than the official one. In fact it should be the official forum of Gigabyte. http://forums.tweakt...lash-guide.html

Actually, only with rev.1 and rev.2, you need to update the bios for better 1066 compatibility. With rev.2.1 none of the 2 updates mention in the GB site, aren't anything related with 1066 or with any memory probem. Rev. 2.1 it's the last build of that board, so the engineers solve some of the problems that came from the first builds. The process here is the same as with the car industry, or in fact, as with any other industry. In face of your board rev. I wouldn't do an update to the BIOS, only as a last case. Do the Parky's test with memtest. Yes I've already fried, in all my 23 years of professional life dedicated to micro computers, some boards due to the process of updating the BIOS. I've done it more than 1000 thousand times, and I've fried... 2 boards, 0 dvd players and 0 of any other card. The only firmware that I don't upgrade, is the graphic card. I don't know why, but I've never felt comfortable with the graphic cards, and to be honest, never need to do it. As long you use the right BIOS and don't have the bad luck of having a shortage of electrical supply when doing the flash, there's no problem. Just follow the procedures, stated by the manufacturer, and it's a relatively safe process. And the process is more easy today. No need of strange commands and boot the machine with DOS. Just use a pen drive and a the flash program in the CMOS. And yes, I've solved a lot of problems by upgrading the BIOS. But, like I've said before, only do when it's needed or as a last resource. My own motherbaord, has already 5 upgrades out after my current BIOS. Some are interesting, but don't need them now. So I foresee in a near future that I'll do it.

Yes, I saw yesterday, the BIOS updates for your board , Olham. And depending of the motherboard revision, one clear states an improvement in "Better compatibility for over DDR clock to 1066MHz".

You'll loose in that way the dual channel mode, but you can run. Don't think that you'll notice so much difference. Besides tell me the motherboard revision and the bios version. The revision is written somewhere in the motherboard.

That's why I asked before,just to run with three sticks. This seems to happen more often when there's a overcloking. Try to reset your bios. And if even that doesn't work remove then one stick and work only with three to see if it's stable.
