Original equipment manufacturer. It's what Dell, Acer, HP, Packard Bell and all those others use. Basically it's Windows with a slightly different licence (it's only alowed to be installed on one computer. The only reason you'd be allowed to install it on another one would be if your MoBo broke or something like that). Vista Ultimate retail is 550 EUR here. Vista Ultimate OEM is just 130 EUR. So if you're building your own it's best to buy an OEM. So then you're a PC manuacturer and accept that you are responsible for the system. MS doesn't give any support for OEM versions.

If I'm not mistaken the Elite uses a different MoBo (all new ps3 will) and a different chip. Well, it's baked on a smaller scale. So then it produces less heat.

WoW. Some kid(s), not sure, didn't sleep and eat and died eventually.

Well thank you, sir. An 6150 is about the most crappy shit you can get. You might be able to get it running, but forget a decent frame rate, even on low settings. Anyway, good luck running the game you bought with 5 fps.

Best? Yeah.. why not spend another $70 on an OEM. The best solution usually is free, mate.

Oh, no. I would have let it stay then It was some private stuff. And.. something very, very stupid.

Flow being that the 'investigation' is one-sided. They haven't compared it to other activities like reading a book or just watching TV. There for it isn't really helpful..

Stangely, this is (?) a 8800 card. The GS. Looks rather weak IMO, but according to some benchmarks it's about the same as the 8800 GTS. Also:

Yeah.

Damn, I'm actually using FF.. Well, after getting used to it I actually quite like it TBH..

I've still never built my own PC and still am using my 4 year old one. Still waiting for my dad to give me the moeny to buy the parts. But I'm going to build it. At least then I'll get it how I want it and without all the crap you usually get in a PC. They always compromise on parts. Even the Dell XPS 720 thing. It actually has pretty crappy memory. Well.. not the best, and for what you're paying you'd actually expect them to put high-end memory in the system too. Though it those come with a 8800 GTX in SLI and a kick-ass pre-overclocked CPU (Intel Core2 Extreme QX6850 at 3.67GHz). But then you do pay something like 5000 USD for that. Not whorth it at all. Just get a good cooler (watercooling if you can afford it) and you'll be able to top that for something like 1750 USD less.

Make back-ups But here it is. I filled it up with some other file too so rapidshare will give me some points. Just ignore that file.

Oh, well. Then it's probably Sky, Chris 82 or Chris. Lol, 9599 times people said something about goats. We're crazy

I checked the Alienware site once. Damn crappy.. "8800 Ultra. Alienware recommends!" Yeah duh they recommend. But just cause they charge you about 25% more then they should. If they recommend a high-end card (in those days) they should have recommended the 8800 GTX, Ultra was way to much overpriced. So, $850 more for getting a Ultra instead x3. They should charge just $300 extra. $850 is just absurd. See: EVGA 768-P2-N831 - VDO 768MB PCI-E 8800GTX = $566.97 Evga 768-P2-N881-AR 768P2N881AR E-geforce 8800 Ultra Pcie 768mb = $650.44 Just quick stuff I looked up. You should be able to get the same modles cheaper.

TM, you edited the title, right?

Obviously, no. The first 6 stands for the serie. Currently nVidia is in serie 8 (8600 and stuff). The second digit is for the card with the same chip (sometimes it's slightly different though. Like the 8800 cards use the G92 GPU, but the GTX and Ultra use the G80). Anyway, the higher the second digit, the better the card. The 6150 is a really, really low end card (?). Probably (actually I'm pretty sure) it's an on board GPU that isn't really meant for gaming at all.

Fixed. Serioulsy, you can't play games when you're emulating a full OS. Just get a PC with XP and if you've got enough money you can get a extra HDD where you install Vista on for the small advantage DX10 gives you (until now it looks like almost nothing actually. You'll only notice the difference with a microscope)

Then you'd get +1 post for things like "Eggs." "Milk." "Deal or No Deal." and everyone would have a postcount of 6000 because of those forum games. The only reason it actually got made. Just for TGTAP to get more posts since the GTA boards where starting to get inactive. The gift.. Yeah, just forum money. Like I've been doing for every milestone in that topic. I can't give huge amounts, but it's actually more aimed at the newer members. Agreed. When I joined the forum felt like a very open community. It was nice cause it was rather 'small' too. It had a select few active members who somehow gave the forum a nice feel. One of the main reasons I left 2 months ago is because the forum had/has totally lost that open feeling and I wouldn't be surprised if new members would usually back of. It's the impression that usually decides if a member is going to come back or leave. Then about GTA.. I really have almost nothing to post there. I post now and then in the GTASA forum, but there just isn't much to say about GTAIV IMO. Only when news arrives. But I think the GTAIV section is only going to be active when people actually have the game and then can discuss it, have fun with it ect. An attitude change would be on its place, but I don't think we have to 'force' members to post in the GTA forums (though new members will, of course. Otherwise they wouldn't join a GTA community. I don't know if I'm the only one. But when I visit this site I'm not thinking about GTA at all, just about the community.

Oh, yeah. Until I finally get a GF (what might never even happen cause no girl that has more then 2 braincells would ever want be with me) I'll love my right hand

Pro? Never heard of that. I'd go for the Premium (Elite will become the premium) Games, don't ask me. And if you buy a 360, XBL really is a must. It's the price of one game (so here that's 60 EUR. I don't know how much pounds.. probably something like 50). To bad you have to pay for it, but it's whorth it. But then you do have your ps3 what is online too. So if you don't think you need even more online play..

Haha, yeah well. Can't see that happening in my case though. He's a prick. Some show-off guy. If he's not with his retarded friends there is no 'conflict'. We both just behave like the other doesn't exist. I think I actually have his face somewhere in a video. I'll make a screeny. *looks through lots of vids he made at school* Ah, found it. It's when I and a friend went shopping for food (we were going to sell milkshakes at school. Each class has there own stand. And we had to do the shopping). What an ass So as you can see, not exactly some though guy or something. Just an idiot who needs lots of attention. Just like your average 3 year old who learns to cycle with just 2 wheels.

Oh, you do need permission from the author if it's not your own mod. Bare that in mind before you upload something.

So who's getting Brawl in the week of it's release? Sounds fun. Can't wait

off topic: Second of Jan.. hopefully I finally get permission from my dad for a new PC.. I'm really getting sick of waiting. On topic: 8800 GT, great. If you want it in Jan, then disregard the following but nVidia is probably going to start with their 9 serie in Feb. Actually, you can disregard that anyway cause it's said to be a 9600.. So yeah, great. 500 GB HDD, I'd take less actually. But that just depends on how much you use, download ect. More of a personal choice. For the CPU.. I'm not very sure.. If you want it for gaming I think the E6850 is a better choice. Why? Well because it's a dual core and each individual core has more power and since most games don't multi-core CPU's and the ones that do support it can't really use it very efficiently I think the E6850 is a better choice. Oh, to think of it. Intel is releasing their E8500 CPU is Jan (unless I've missed something..), same price. Perhaps a better choice. For the memory. DDR2 is extreemly cheap now. So if you don't mind spending slightly more you could get even better and/or more RAM. Corsair is good though.

PCMark05 SuperPi (for the CPU only) 3Dmark (of course, for graphical capabilities) Cinebench 9.5.. But I can't find it. Only could find 10. That's it actually. Oh, and for SuperPi, 1M is kind of a standard to use.
