those are empires?

even if her nipple were shaped like a swastika, it'd still be less offensive on TV than justin timberlake's face.

i remember when i was perhaps an adolescent and "bitch" finally became an acceptable word for network TV. and just to give you a sense of how far some people take their linguistic prudishness, they won't even tolerate proxy swear words, i.e. seth's shnikies, or any word used in an expletive way. saying "oh fudge!" isn't okay, they say, because you're still using the vulgar word mentally. even more amusing is that there's nothing traditionally sacrosanct about not using v

comment: you may soon need to update that [e digicons]}:)[/e]

wow... "it's a hobby [e digicons]O:)[/e] "

[quote who="Neilo" reply="8" id="2095083"]There should be little doubt that about the scoring potential of the ToE when promted to do so. I feel honoured to be the emperor of such a fantastic bunch of people!![/quote] the empire gained over a million points in a single MV update last night. that was impressive to see.

awesome game motti. am i correct in believing that's the highest scoring game ever?

i'm wondering how many of you guys advocating higher max-power PSUs use or don't use a UPS as well. clean AC in will give you a much, much more reliable PSU.

[quote who="jacklv" reply="21" id="2089146"] Dystopic.....the source of my comment was a previous post to clanlindsey, which i'm sure you saw. if you read it any other way, flame me. i deserve it for being so thoughtless.[/quote] i'm completely lost in every way. TBQH i lost track of the on-going discussion. i just wanted to brag on behalf of CL and the ToE. and in any regard, i don't think you deserve a flaming.

[quote who="Loupdinour" reply="17" id="2089050"]One point people yell at him for it being too big, now it's too small...he should have talked to the baby bear first I guess.[/quote] i wasn't yelling. i made an effort to be polite and diplomatic when i asked her to reduce her font size. but i do nonetheless see the humor.

just to be clear, i wasnt nvidia bashing. i've got nothing against any company that puts out a good product, and the 4850 is an exceptional product. that said, had i the money to upgrade today, i'd snag a GTX 285. i hope not upgrading the PSU works out. i'd suggest you try at least to split the two 4-pins you use on to different rails, if you can.

look out KP, you got a tyran n t right on your heels [e digicons]}:)[/e]

[quote who="kryo" reply="18" id="2088234"]It's also worth noting that overestimating it will only hurt you in the initial outlay. Regardless of rating, it'll only draw as much from the mains as it needs. Not so much with underestimating, which can end in fried parts or even a fire, especially if it's a cheaper model without the built-in failsafes against that sort of thing.[/quote] these are great points, and i hope it didn't seem that i was indicating otherwise. however one thing i'd

[quote who="Hawkeye666" reply="15" id="2088175"]I have a 4850x2 and it rocks. The 4850 chip is the most under estimated video out there. I strongly recommend it. For power 650 is minimum, 750 gives you more room to expand. I'm running a 4850 x2 with Phenom 2 940, 8 GB ddr2-1066 and three 160 GB striped with two DVD burners on a 650 with no power issues at all. But it is a very good 650.[/quote] i think you're over-estimating power needs just a bit; most people do, and of co

sweet. and i don't consider the CA burrito to be the best, but i love it as a stand-by. the best burrito i've ever had was very similar: rice, beans, cheese and carnitas smothered in red enchilada sauce.

the 4850 is a great bang/buck card. as for the general recommendations about PSUs, i'm not familiar with that particular model, so i can't vouch for its DC output quality. however i haven't heard anything negative about NZXT as a brand name, and 500W should be plenty for the 4850. in theory it should be enough for a 9800GTX+ as well, but i'd have to second what Kryo said the rail configuration as the place where i'd worry. as for Zyx's comments about simply upgrading to a new

i didn't say anything about cooking it. though, when you're surrounded by fire and brimstone, meat doesn't stay raw for long.

your other option would be a Radeon HD 4850. it's cheaper, requires less power, and the performance should be on par or better than the 9800 GTX+.

loup, you haven't lived til you've tried gato asado.

sounds good, but flour tortillas? corn's where the money is [e digicons]:grin:[/e] CL, are you a fellow mexican boarder region denizen? *sigh* to my knowledge no one else in the empire knows the joy of the california burrito.

actually it reminds me of "The Jeep Song" by the Dresden Dolls. okay, moving past my moment of shame over being familiar with thier music (i blame that on one of my ex's), it's about hating the experience of seeing an ex's make/model of car.

all i can say is wow, someone's really crazy. and i've studied serial killers.

um, okay. i just didn't know that.
