Games?

Does anyone have any personal experience with any of these cards?
I've seen the benchmarks and prices. I'd like to know if anyone
knows of any visual glitches or other problems (are they super loud?)
or if some model is particularly well made. Thanks!
\_ most video card fans turn off if 3D not in use. If in use, I'll bet

2004/12/6-7 [Computer/HW/Memory, Computer/HW/CPU] UID:35186 Activity:high | 12/6 I'm at my wit's end with a problem. I'm running WinXP and a lot of
newer 3D games make the machine randomly lock hard. There isn't much
pattern to it, but some games do it and some don't. This problem is
not mentioned under tech support for the games besides the generic
"Update your drivers and DirectX" which I've done. Games which crash
include Railroad Tycoon 3, Rome:Total War and Sid Meier's Pirates, and

2004/11/29-30 [Computer/HW/Printer, Computer/HW/CPU] UID:35108 Activity:high | 11/29 I haven't bought a PC in years. How does the quality of Dell, Compaq
and Gateway PCs compare? That is, how long does a brandnew machine

buying a low-end desktop. Thanks for any info.
\_ Other brands: Sony, HP, Micron (now "MPC"), eMachines. Try CNET.
\_ HP == Compaq, eMachines == Gateway.

2004/5/21 [Computer/HW/Laptop] UID:30340 Activity:insanely high | 2/21 I just upgraded a very old PIII to an AthlonXP. I used the cheapest
CPU and a rather cheapie MB with only 256 megs of RAM (I just wanted
to do something with the extra box and drives I had lying around.)
It seems to run a LOT faster than my laptops running a Celeron 1.5
gigahertz with 256 megs of RAM and seems comparable with a 3.2
gigahertz P4 laptop with 512 RAM I have on loan from the company I

nay? -BF1942 dude, alias "Nazi killing machine"
\_ I'm waiting for the truly accurate military video game where you
lay around terrified 98% of the time ... and then get insta-maimed/
killed by a sniper or pipe-bomb.
\_ BFV is much more immersive than BF1942. Plus infantry actually
