These are all truths indeed. And if you add bad Napoleon's judgments, the soft ground, Welligton's good choice of the battlefield, etc, all this elements together helped the British victory. But, Capitaine, in the end it was a full British victory. The empire who got more beneficts with the French's defeat was the British.

Thanks for the warning Morris. I've a 4xxx card; they seem to have stop optimizing it. I'll pass this one.

You mean the tenth reason why we shouldn't consume drugs? I think it means all together. But Olham knows better.

You can always try to lower the security of your Windows UAC, at least momentaneously while you see if there is any effect. i confess that it was the first thing I did, after installing Win7. I just disabled it once and for all. But that's me, I have some trust on my firewall. Are you sure that those text files aren't with the attributes set to Read only? Were those files protected in your previous windows XP installation? Take a look at this thread.

Glad to know, that finnaly, you rig arrived well. I've a ATI 4890, and use exactly the same settings as advised in the FAQ. My Catlayst settings are AAx2, Anisotropic Filtering x4, Catalyst AI set for Standard, MipMap detail level set for Performance.

Great job Erik.

At least England has the best coach in all tournament. This was just the first game. Aren't you fade up with the vuvzela's sound? The bloody thing is really annoying.

Nice. Thanks Olham.

I do understand how you feel Bullethead. Sometimes I too think that we're indulging too much with human trash. And not all of them are bums. Some they may live in big houses, have a real good position in life. Some are financiers, or lawyers, economists... some are just corrupted politicians. But I'm with Widow. My sympathies to the victims.

It still looks nice. But IMHO there are now better water animations.

Anyway, I doubt you could overclock a Dell.

I mostly agree with uncleal. Only you don't need water cooling, unless if you go for extreme overclocking. But yes in most of the cases you'll need a better CPU cooler and in some a better case. For PSU's we can't only concern with W, but also of being able, under stress, feed the rig with the right W. This doesn't mean that most people can't do a lower or even a moderate to their systems. The main point is, you got to know with what you're messing with. And by the way uncleal, a couple of years ago, your processor Q6600, was the dream of every overclocker. It's a highly overclocking CPU.

Fully agree.

Oh boy, everyone seems to want to do a overclock nowadays. Olham there's no definitive guide to overclock a processor. It's a question of trying and testing. It's not only a question of processor but also of BIOS options. Motherboards have different BIOS and different settings. Besides, things like, coolers, air flow, ambient temperatures, CPU voltages, will differ from case to case. Overclocking will always stress your machines. 20% is a value that is acceptable and it won't have so much impact, but if your machine is on the edge ,even 20% can be too much. To do a overclock you must be confident and know about your machine capabilities. If it's a last generation of AMD or Intel CPU's and motherboards everything is more easy; mainly because there are "natural" overclocking technologies associated with this new processors. Adding to this the motherboard makers evolved their overclocking tools for their new products, and now everything is more easy if you want to do low/moderate overclocking. Olham you've a generation before this. So the things are different. You'll have to do it probably in the hard way. You'll have to mess with BIOS. Here is something that all people who want to do overclock should read: http://www.overclock.../overclock_faq/ Here you find link to overclock tools: http://forums.tweakt...ty-tools-30530/ Olham, you've a self assembled PC, or is a HP, Dell or any other brand? EDIT: Here is the link themightysrc.

Bigfish3, to run an E8400@3.9Ghz, I bet you don't have the cooler that came with the processor. I'm no expert at overclocking, I'm a noob as most people here, but 3.9Ghz it's almost an extreme overclocking. It's the wall for E8400.

groumf you've a good CPU. You can overclock it, as long as you have a good CPU cooler and a good air flow in the case. You can consider two things if you don't want to mess with BIOS. First do you know if you've Intel Turbo Boost enabled? Is it working? To test if it's enabled, you can use this Intel tool. With Intel Turbo Boost enabled, and because OFF is a single thread application, you can go up until 3.46Ghz, depending on the number of the cores (taken by the game and system) you're using at that moment you're playing. http://www.intel.com...b/cs-029908.htm http://www.tomshardw...-i5,2410-4.html The other thing you can do is to download an overclocker tool from the maker's site of your motherboard. Asus, Gigabyte, MSI and Evga all have it. That tool will do every thing for you. Don't expect an extreme overclock. Only by messing with BIOS you'll be able to do it. But the Intel turbo is a good thing for OFF. themightysrc, you've a miserable graphic card, mate. If you can change it. It won't be hard to find a better one.

Yes, great image, Captain. I'm beginning to like that... Snipe. Now I want one also.

One of the most overlooked RPG's is "Risen". I think after finishing "The Witcher", I'll go for Risen... or for Mass Effect... or Alpha Protocol. PC is filled with RPG's.

I know both are Nvidia, but have you unistalled the Nvidia drivers and install them again? You can use Drive Sweeper to remove some files that are never remove after uninstalling. I doubt there is any damage in the PSU. Now the motherboard might be another matter.

If you don't feel confident to mess with BIOS, Asus has a program that do it automatically for you. Just download the last version of Turbo V from Asus site. Of course all depend how far you want to go. If you want more than 10%-20% than you'll have to mess with voltages and other BIOS settings. You'll need a better CPU cooler than the Intel in box.

Some people say, that's what I read, that with the LED it's more accurate, and it's less dependable of the right light conditions. To be honest, my TrackIR was shipped with the Pro Clip, so I've never used the reflective. In Summer with hot temperatures the hat would bother me.

....and I thought it was the Swedish.
