Since when does a title that has like 8 different ports have any bearing on how good a system is? I'm sure the other 7 systems it's on are good ports too!

Happy "Spend more money because corporations decided it was a good idea holiday" to you too.

Any woman who needs one of those, has serious social issues. Toys are fun, but damn!

Do you speak of GBA on an N-Gage? If so, get real!

Going to retail for £129.....or a tiny $225 USD!!! Oh yeah, it's gonna change things when you can buy a damn PSP for less, and wind up having BOTH machines. Sure it's got a 4GB drive, but big deal.......that price is too steep for an ADDON. FLOP! FLOP! FLOP! FLOP!

It's a learning experience, and there actually isn't an NES emulator out there that accurately emulates EVERY mapper (Theres alot of mappers, many custom). Some of the better emulators accurately emulate most of the more common mappers, which essentially is enough.

Actually agozer is right, tests have been done that disprove those damn urban legends about lower burn speeds giving better results. PI/PO errors are actually HIGHER with lower speeds. Oh and laser life has absolutely NOTHING to do with burn speed. Speed has to do with spindle rotation, buffer size/flow and data read. The laser is a constant. If you're burner is failing at high speeds, you have one of 3 problems, in order of most likely.... #1: Poor media quality. Track following errors and redunancy issues here folks. #2: Clean your damn PC up. 90% of computer users have cluttered to hell hard drives and defrag once a YEAR. #3: The laser is malfunctioning. Most likely this is just an issue of needing cleaned, especially if things work at lower speeds. However see #2, as it's more likely the cause if things work at lower speeds. End of story, period. The likelyhood your burner is dying if it functions fine at lower speeds, is like 1 in a million.

I've had it block me from connecting to a friends Direct Connect hub because my IP was in one of the default block lists. I've said it before and I'll say it again. PG is nothing but a parnoid dellusionals creation, and it protects you from NOTHING. You think the RIAA is going to connect to you from a domain like riaa.org? Or any other domain that would be obvious enough to even tell? Get real......

Weren't you also the one who edited out the pr0n in that other thread? Yeah but I can check it out and THEN edit it out.

I can't see it being apparant ever. Dual core programming requires enough as is, the Cell is too complicated for the average developing house to really make any extensive use of. I smell a Sega Saturn.......

No archives, no executables(I can see this for security reasons), 500kb limit= No fun

Easy, they're labelled for starters. I only have 2 drives, they're just partitioned. Partitions in order as follows.... C-G = Drive 1 (Windows 2002, Windows XP, Apps, Games 1, Games 2) FAT 32 H-M = Drive 2 (H is swap and hidden, Holdings [Temp stuff and downloads saved], ISOs, Music, Movies and Emulation) I hate messy....

Errr ok, I don't follow but ok. lol

As with Solidius, I'm running Aston, only I'm using one of the default skins (I can't find one I like enough to be bothered reconfiguring everything to my liking). I introduced him to it I think. List of drives on left autohides, I just pulled it out for show. I like simplicity, seeing clutter on desktops makes me sick, the start menu is there for a reason. Here ya go, I still don't think anything has changed since last time except my wallpaper.

And what do you mean another 3rd place console when you speak of graphics prowess? BOTH PS2 and Xbox are technically inferior in terms of raw hardware to the Gamecube, anyone who tries to state otherwise isn't aware of the technical aspects of all 3 systems. Xbox keeps up and surpasses occassionaly due to it's hard drive being there for caching, and a some pixel shader extensions in the GPU that best Flipper. Cube and Xbox OFF paper are pretty much "on par", but the PS2 is way off the god damn radar. I doubt Revolution will be as underpowered as is currently speculated. Theres more confirmed to be part of the system than just it's GPU and CPU (Which btw no technical details have been released about). We know already that it will have a DSP solely for the purpose of physics calculations and such......that right there takes some load off the CPU. You can't go by sheer TERAFLOPS of the CPU or GPU or combined to judge what a system can do, and even those figures alone are inaccurate at best. Also note that just because a system has said raw power, doesn't mean developers #1 Know how to utilize it #2 CAN utilize it. I think Revo will get more utilization of it's resources due to it apparantly being quite similar to Gamecube. 360 and PS3 developers have to start from scratch again........go find what John Carmack already stated about developing for the 360, go check some reviews on Quake 4 for 360. Just because the power is there, doesn't make it easy to tap.

Hasn't changed since the last thread.........

Yep, you'll need a new monitor to view secure media in Vista. So pretty much, to use Vista.....you'll need new EVERYTHING.

Yes and a newer video card is a requirement for it's visual aspects. You shouldn't need a hardware accellerated video card of mid-high range capability to run your OS. Vista is going to eat up so much resources even on the latest hardware when it ships, that Halo 2 will barely run at it's full potential FFS. I guarantee it. Then throw in it's sandboxing DRM and Secure-HD bullshit.........They better change their tune drastically, or the crowd of users they have that is capable of using other OS' (Linux, BSD etc) will just say screw it and ditch Windows as much as they possibly can. Me for instance, I'll keep XP for what I need and thats it. Linux will take over as my primary OS, in contrast to it being my secondary OS atm.

Yeah thats nice, too bad she's wearing even body makeup and facial airbrushing is obvious. I wonder if she's even half as hot in real life, somehow I doubt it. Thats a wig too.......

I won't touch Vista with a 10 foot pole. Any OS that requires the latest and greatest in hardware, is bloatware. An Operating System is there to provide an interface to the hardware and some general useability. Additional software is where higher requirements should play in. Screw Windows Vista.

Neither....bit of a corporate biatch are we? Slave to the logo? lol Look it up, I'm pretty sure she got it at some department store or maybe even Blockbuster in one of their bins.

My wife bought Moraff's Maximum Mahjongg Vol. 3 last year, and it's got plenty of different game types on it. It also has 200 tilesets and a bunch of other junk. It's all in English and she only paid like $6 for it. Pretty good idea to find it if you want to learn.

Better than yours in one respect, worse in another. That X300 obviously has less ram which equates to less texture and geometry storage space, so you'll likely have more swapping than I.....but more main memory solves that. The X300 is more powerful processing wise than my 8500 however, so with having less graphics memory and plenty of system RAM.......it'd still outperform my card a good bit.

Something tells me you told that wrong, cause I've seen that joke somewhere before. However you told it just doesn't make sense though. I think somethings missing....

Ah, I see; thanks for the quick answer! I was wondering about it since both video cards have only 64 MB! No they don't, I have a 128MB Radeon 8500. http://www.ati.com/products/radeon8500/radeon8500128/ I didn't think they made cards with only 64MB of memory anymore........eeek
