SLI both cards must be the SAME model from the SAME manufacturer.

**skelooth** · 11-15-2006, 03:38 AM

OMFG OMFG I AM STOKED MAN.

Not only did my pc ship out... but.... check this out...

I'm getting Ghost Recon Advance War Fighter FREE with the processor, and I am getting Hitman: Blood money FREE with the really sweet $300 video card!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So all together I'm getting:
Half LIfe, Half Life 2, Half life 2 episode one, CS source, HL2 Deathmatch, Day of Defeat Source, Ghost Recon, and Hitman!!!!!!!!!!

Not to mention I have C&C generals sitting around to play that my current pc won't run, AND my boy has oblivion and fear that he is going to give me cracked copies of!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT lolololol. It's a video gaming life for me I say! All on my 19" LCD monitor

I'm happy.

The parts get here Friday, by Saturday morning I will be in video game HEAVEN

**NYCmitch25** · 11-15-2006, 10:06 PM

no one cares about your stupid computer

j/k why 2 vid cards?

**skelooth** · 11-16-2006, 04:54 AM

I do

and I decided against the dual cards. I thought since it was the 'hot new technology' I'd do it, but the majority of device from a lot of people I trust says not to. Instead I got a mid to high end card.

no no no...by Saturday morning you'll be tired, cranky, and frustrated because for some reason your @*%@(* system won't post no matter what you do.

**romanaz** · 11-16-2006, 05:45 AM

Ikaika, dont jynx him!

**Ikaika** · 11-16-2006, 06:06 AM

jinx nothing, thats what always happens when i try to build a new machine...something is cocked up and i have to RMA the damn thing and wait two weeks to get the new part.

**romanaz** · 11-16-2006, 06:10 AM

im lucky, i had to wait 2 months to RMA my first part.. :-D

**skelooth** · 11-16-2006, 01:33 PM

**skelooth** · 11-16-2006, 02:33 PM

my dirty little secret... I am building a 1200 dollar computer with the sole intent of playing Half Life 2 again, but this time on maxed out graphics settings

**skelooth** · 11-19-2006, 12:23 AM

Computer built, and it is sweeeeeeeeeeeet.

I had some problems with the board not starting at first... the motherboard was magically shorting with the tray in the case... I tried eeeeeeeeverything, finally I took it out and tried it on top of a cardboard box and it worked fine. So then I put it back in and it continued working.

Final Stats, 2.13ghz core2 duo 6400, 80gb sata wd hd, 2gig ddr667, 512mb nvidia 7950gt factory over clocked, sata dvd drive, 2 additional case fans, 650w power supply. It's hardcore man.

Yeah... runs half life with maxed out setting as if it were as easy to process as pong.

I've got it dual booted with winxp pro and ubuntu edgy.

Now... maybe I should do some homework eh?

**Peaked_18** · 11-19-2006, 12:37 AM

Dude get a Dell.

**skelooth** · 11-19-2006, 04:44 AM

3d Accelerated linux anyone?

**skelooth** · 11-24-2006, 03:44 AM

I beat HL2 and HL2:aftermath already. I have a lvl2 warrior in oblivion, I'm on the 3rd map of the chinese campaign in C&C, I'm on the second level of hitman. I still need to install ghost recon and fear... lol. Isn't it disgusting?

I'm not really worried about my homework, because my computer is so fast it will just do my homework that much faster. *continues living the lie*
