I highly recommend getting LCD, if only for the wide-screen capabilities... It may not seem like much, but there is significant reduction in eye strain just going from a CRT's 4:3 ratio to a wide-screen LCD at 16:9. (16:9 is much closer to the ratio that your eyes are designed to receive naturally)

I can go with that, as long as people don't keep saying that it was a lucky kill of the pilot. Only way any SMG (even with AP rounds) could've killed that helicopter would be to get a couple dozen rounds into the engines.

+1 (if I still could that is)

I would actually suggest going with a Gigabyte video card if possible... (better cooling systems in general, and usually have better gaming performance tweaks from the factory) And don't forget to get a third-party CPU cooler and some thermal grease! (the ones that ship with AMD processors are fine, if you only plan on surfing the web)

Only if you're going to get 2 and run them in Crossfire... Then again, that's the same with everything lower than the 7970... (or the GTX 670 for Nvidia) You're gonna get <15 FPS on highest with that card.

Sounds most like an overheat, next like a driver problem. Could be the video card, the processor, or even the northbridge/southbridge chipset. As Alyxx and Ross said, driver updates and side panel removal. (unless it's a laptop, then just stick a fan underneath it)

Wagner... You can't mix him up with a different keyboard layout. Free internet at 56kbps, or expensive internet at 1Gbps?

8/10 No boobs, so I took 1 off for each one...

Myself talking to my computer at a 200ms delay from real-time.

Damn, I need to get a decent camera so you guys can see my most recent facial features...

Unfortunately I have to write something down in English so that you know that I did what the thread requests... Too bad I can't write my language on any computer. (it isn't English, it's a phonetic alphabet writing language for the spoken English language)

For the CPU histogram: http://customize.org/download/files/82846/16000/CPU-V102.rmskin Or are you talking about OpenHardwareMonitor? http://openhardwaremonitor.org/ Waterfox is a built for 64-bit Windows only version of Firefox. It uses Firefox addons, but runs about 2x faster than the 64-bit version of Firefox.

High frequency tones can be painful... BEWARE!

This.

And had little or no training with a bow... As shown by his complete lack of form.

I'm eating nothing until I make some ramen. (shrimp flavor, not as good as chicken, but better than nothing)

I'm having fun listening to myself type through my laptop's array microphone... I sound like I'm typing a lot faster than I thought I did.

All my dreams of late have been about getting back home, sleeping there, and eating good food there.

http://www.half-life.wikia.com/wiki/Hazardous_Environment_Combat_Unit They are a special forces branch of the Marines... Why would they not have military grade equipment and vehicles?

Yeah... If I end up having to wait, I'll be going for the GTX 700's. (not a fan of AMDs video cards at all, and Nvidia has much better business practices)

Actually, it wouldn't do hardly any damage to a military helicopter unless the bullets ricocheted into the engines. Military helicopters are armored against small-arms fire, effectively bulletproof against anything fired from a pistol or SMG.

Leaving the FFA section for a while again... Nothing to do with what's here, just don't have the time for it right at the moment. I should be around pretty frequently in a couple weeks for about 3 weeks though.

Could use a bit of editor's touch here-and-there... A few grammatical fixes and misspellings... I would volunteer, but I'm already editing another two novels, and trying to learn Linux.

Life is but a dream Drifting on a stream, a stream Consciously it seems All of what remains Ego Brain Man made shame, Shame, love after it rains You see my pain is real Watch my world dissolve And pretend that none of us see the Fall As I turn to sand You took me by the hand And declared, that love prevails over all. [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/s/system+of+a+down/ego+brain_20134797.html ] I am just a man Fighting other men For land, for land While I turn to sand In spite of the pain Ego Brain Man made shame, Shame, love after it rains You see my pain is real Watch my world dissolve And pretend that none of us see the Fall As I turn to sand You took me by the hand And declared, that love prevails over all. All of what remains Ego Brain Man made shame, Shame, love after it rains You see my pain is real Watch my world dissolve And pretend that none of us see the Fall As I turn to sand You took me by the hand And declared, that love prevails over all.
