I try to never spend more than 1k on a new PC, and just use as much from my old as possible, mostly hard drives, keyboard, mouse, powersupply if possible. Although nowaday recycling the PSU is not usually as feasible as it once was.
Well your future build Thrawn will come in at around $1600 shipped. That doesn't include the amount of time you need to spend putting it together or Windows Vista Home Premium/Ultimate. For me, anything beyond $1500 is throwing away money for a very slight increase in benefits. Yes, that is my belief as well. Techniquelly anything beyond the $1000 - $1200 range can be considered a waste of money. There ar
~ lordkosc's list. Or in Freespace 2 the Frigate Iceni is considered Bosh's flagship while he still has a couple of Orions under his command which exceed the Iceni in term of Fire power. I think I prefer flag ship as a Command and Control ship rather then just a ship with a lot of raw power. Instead of adding more guns, I think adding more radical bonus would be better. Well yes, flagship literally does mean, the ship that bears the
Okay, I notice there are a lot of posts about how unrealistic it is that the TEC capital ships don't have anti-strikecraft weapons (KOL flak being the exception). If you guys want realistic, then 3 or 4 hits from a SINGLE bomber should kill ANY capital ship. Oh, I bet there aren't many people wanting that level of realism, are there? Bombers are already massively downgraded in power, I don't see the need to make them even less capable by
To folks who are coming back to X3, check out the Xextended mod. Here is an overview (taken from their website). 90 new sectors including: - The Terran Solar System - New Xenon, Khaak, Pirate, and Yaki Sectors - New Goner, Unknown and Main races sectors - Countless other places to explore or conquer, each one unique and useful to every players' needs. 95 New Ships: - Argon, Terran, Paranid, and Otas M0 class ships - Full compliment of M7 frigate
Here is my take on this problem. Someone mentioned why should we care about putting AA on capital ship while it's nowhere near as effective as using Flak frigate, that's half of the problem. Right now Fighter/Bomber is too insignificant of a threat to Capital ships that they really matter a damn. Why should I chase down a squadron when I can take out the Mother body much easier to begin with. There are too few squadrons and they do little damage to the capship to make they really p
But there is something I noticed, the freighter and trader don't seem to repair themselves, is that intentional?
Fixed Flak Frigates not prioritizing fighters and bombers. Fixed fighter's target being out of sync for a frame from target squad I don't know what the second one means, but in the first one do fighter get the same target priority fix? Since right now they still chase after big targets instead of bombers. New artifact overlay for planet icons. YES! Fixed suici
But, we are forgetting one little detail. ...SupCom > Dawn Of War > Company Of Heroes > SupCom > Dawn Of War... Ahahaha! The infinite loop rages! Wow, I'm getting so off topic... Oh no, DOW 40K > Supcom. Hell, at least most o
My older computer was a Dell, and we had it for 6 years without a single hardware problem. My current one is also a Dell, and we've had it for almost 6 months...as I recall, though, buying all the parts separately would have run the cost down about 300 dollars, but minimizing the risk of replacing an expensive component is worth it, in my opinion. I would really argue it's much more flexible then just that and the advantage is not just the
COH > SUPCOM DOW 40K >>> COH
Just a question: but how well would my "future computer" be able to play supcom? Don't know, Supcom is one of the game that I can say Future Proof. As in by the time they were released there is no Computer that can pushed them to the max. Your computer is fine, actually for the most part it's like Scheme computer. But I would make some change to it though: - First I presume you gonna build
Ok, after having the time to play a little bit more with the game over the weekend I think I can put together my own list of feedbacks. 1 - Trade system : + Observation : I think it needs a lot of improvements. I observed 2 tradeships departed, one to a station 2 jumps away, and one all the way back to my capital 5 jumps away. And at the end both of them yield the sa
god, my week is beautiful: get together with friends, duke out on starcraft, dayhike and a god-computer! Somehow the last two don't add up together.
Hah, that's child talk Scheme. Try this one for size. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3U11tUngEYs
so, does this mean my powersource is good? or just that you have no idea? Heh, depend on how you're going to use it. The MO that I gave you support SLI, that means in the future if you want to do SLI (dual Video Cards), you can. However that Power Source of yours does not support SLI. By itself it's a decent Power Supply, but SLI is something to be considered. Not saying you will have to. Like I sai
Well, most MO has the Wire (LAN/Ethernet) port on it by default (including the one that I gave you). Pretty sure most don't have a built in wifi though so you'll have to buy a separate wireless card.
Er, what on Earth is a Swordfish, satthukaraoke? I have been playing this game for months (and was in the beta prior to that, even) and I can't think of any unit with that name...unless you mean the UEF Broadsword T3 Gunship, or some unit from a mod... Oh yeah, Broadsword, for some reason I keep calling it Swordfish <div class="Ar
well is it possible to upgrade the mobo you gave me to have a sound card? just in case I want to expand it later? Oh absolutely, that's what those extra PCI slots are for. The speakers I show up have a matrix sound system to emulate 5.1 surrounded sound from a 2.1 system so usually it's good enough. But of course, a dedicated card is always better.
I don't know about this, but chance is I probably skip it since right now I pretty much give up on the support for this game, it has become "too good". Sorry for the rant here, but Supcom for me is a perfect example of how the hardcore element and those that envisioned by the creators is overcome by the cry of mass casual player. What draw me into Supcom in the beginning is because it is the spiritual successor of Total Annhilation, which it was in the beginning, but now it's dying
kosc, do you really think any game would run with a mobo integrated vid card? Why do you think you have to pay 300+ for your Video card instead of getting one for free with your motherboard. Sure you can play, but enough to say you will be better of with a 3 years old dedicated card (the type that you can get for 30$) then a brand new Onboard Card. <b
No, there is a chance it will have compatibility issue with the actual Video Card that he put on later. It's not supposed to happen but trust me, it can, Speaking as someone who had 2 Onboard VGA. One way or another it's a potential of complication later. Plus, like I said it's useless money, that board cost around 100$, deduct that onboard VGA it's easy to question the quantity and quality of that board in term of other functionalities.
The AGP slot is the old interface for the VGA (graphic card) which was supperior to the PCI slot. However about 2 years ago the new interface replaced the AGP, it's the PCI-Express (PCI-E) which is better, that's why you won't see the AGP slot on new MO anymore, at this point they're techniquelly obsoleted.
No, his current MO is not fine, as long as it has that onboard VGA
no idea what that means... but thanks? seriously, if the term comes in an acronym, give me what it means. understand that I'm not a tech-freak, I dont know what any of this means. whats important to me is that I want something that will support advanced features present in my other devices, and will run without heating my computer to a sludge. if this mobo can do it, thats fantastic, if it is going to have difficulty with that, give me something else. </div
