Thanks for your help. Just for giggles why dont we port Galactic Civ to transactional memory? "Transactional memory is a computational model in which threads synchronize by optimistic, lock-free transactions. This synchronization model promises to alleviate many of the problems associated with locking, and there is a growing community of researchers working on both software and hardware support for this approach." AI predictability could be a thing of the past. <img src="http://images.stardock.

AMD Dual-Core Optimizer - The AMD Dual-Core Optimizer can help improve some PC gaming video performance by compensating for those applications that bypass the Windows API for timing by directly using the RDTSC (Read Time Stamp Counter) instruction. Applications that rely on RDTSC do not benefit from the logic in the operating system to properly account for the affect of power management mechanisms on the rate at which a processor core's Time Stamp Counter (TSC) is increment

Thanks LoneWolf0912. That actually makes alot of sense and helps with some other programming issues I am seeing. I was this stop away from applying a bios update that may or may not be from the manufacturer. I saw the patch in my wildly pationate swings back through te hardware groups. Went to AMD and installed it on my Vista32 attempt. Guess I forgot on XP although I did install the new AMD patch PN_1_3

After playing the game for some time and the durration varries, the ship, planet, and eventually map movement will start acting very erratic. In the shipyard the turning rate and zoom will just go wacky. Planet preview will do the same. After ignoring this issue for a while, again no specific durration, the map movement will start to skip wildly around the map making gameplay impossible. I should note that first whilst trying to work with Vista that the drivers for my GForce 8800 GTS are beta. I

Wonder if anyone considered a FireFly mod where a full gammit of custom designed ships would fullfill the alien ship we get asked for ethics some worthless some not... cludged and ugly for Reevers and dangerous. Also the Reevers would actual parts-out your wreck and steel tech plus the damaged engine cores would damage your ship even on a flyby because of no core containment. The roll of the dice on "flyby" and "investigate" would add a level of unpredictability AND reprocussions for ethical cho
