Basically I bought this monster LCD to play on and my current hardware cant smoothly push the native rez for a lot of games. Soooo.... What would you folks recommend if I were to build a new system right now. Im currently doing some reading and newegg searching getting my ideas set. However Im a bit out of the current tech news and info so catch up can take a bit What do you guys consider hot and worthwhile. Lastly, Im more of a semi-budget wont buy newest biggest tech as I think the price is simply ridiculous vs. performance gains. So while Im looking at core 2 duo CPU's I probably wont touch the "extreme" versions as they seem just totally out of whack …

I bought the BF2 expansion Armored Fury/Euro Forces. I think the Euro Forces is only half lame, but Armored Fury rocks and last night I played it for like 5 hour straight. It's only $9 at best buy. **It was a bitch to get it working... It took an hour and a half on the phone w/ EA because you have to link the expansion online w/ your BF2 reg number and they are clueless as to what to do if you never registered your BF2 and swear that you can't play BF2 online if you never registered it... welll I play online and never registered it... so I have to creat a new account, couldn't use the name I use in game, then had to go into this new account and change the name to …

Here's a good read for those of us who aren't ALL that familiar w/ the upcoming 8x AGP replacement. It's called PCI-X & it looks really good. U can read all about it by clicking HERE. Now the question I face is should I hold off on getting an 8x AGP ATi Radeon 9800 Pro in favor of this OR just bite the bullet & get it & sit back & watch the impact pci-x has on the market along w/ the cost involved in it?? Decisions, decisions. Happy reading. -- Nem

Hey everybody, I ended up with an extra copy of FarCry when I bought my new videocard and was wondering if anyone would be interested in buying it for $20? Still sealed up in package didn't open. Or maybe trade for something else?

I had a great weekend of cleaning the yard and chasing squirels out of my attic, finished off sunday night @ around 6:30pm with a car running a stop sign and t-boning my car well taking my 14 year old nephew home from helping me with yard work. Every one was ok but my car was totaled. Driver was 100% @ fault as per the police report. The officer though never got proof of insurance or wrote a ticket for not stopping. :( I only have liability and the driver has OH plates. So I got to go after him. Sucks!

For those that might have wondered where I've been the past couple days. I went to the hospital Thursday night with SEVERE lower-rib cage area pain! They ruled out a heart problem and gave me some SWEEEET painkillers and a couple scripts and sent me home. Fri morning comes, now I'm unable to keep even water down (and still considerable pain), off to Dr and then back to the hospital. Spent most of the day there Friday getting tests done and got sent home later that nite, after confirming I could at least keep water down. They think they have narrowed it down, but won't know for least a couple days yet. Anyway, if you wondered where the fudge I was, thats the dilly....…
