after a brief abesence because of not being very well i am back, rejoice!
oh and join the room http://www.stickam.com/member/loadChatRoom.do?roomId=887330

if you plan on hooking your pc up to a tv (as secondary display) to watch movies or play games fullscreen then it's a waste of time getting an nVidia card as they've disabled at the hardware level now due to some crap about screen size copyright issues or some such nonsense, whereas AMD/ATi haven't.
but if you do intend on going with nVidia then it'd probably be worth getting the 9800 GTX/GTX+ or for a bit more oomph the 9800 GX2 over the more expensive GTX 260.
and yeh, i wouldn't worry too much about cooling, and an aluminium case does help.
i used to be paranoid about overheating to the extend i left a sidepanel off the case and had a large tower fan blowing inside the pc constantly but now i don't bother.

you know, it is possible to not like religion without being a dickhead about it.

man why hasn't this stupid thread been locked yet?
it's the same old pish that comes up everytime somebody mentions religion and it's going nowhere.
an adventure games forum isn't the place for this type of discussion. now there's nothing wrong with a good debate this is pure arguing with eachother.
stop feeding the troll.

aha, new room up at http://www.stickam.com/member/loadChatRoom.do?roomId=864972 courtesy of Progz

gah, seems as thought Stickam is having some difficulties right now, I'm getting the "no response from channel server" error message when i try to rejoin the room :/

you just come across a big idiot who takes every oppotunity he can to attack religion, and you did so in a thread that was not started with the intention of discussing religious belief as a whole.
now, i used to do the same in religious discussions but i realised pretty quickly that if i acted like a dick nobody was going to listen to what i was saying.
and also while i remain an atheist i recognise that religion can benefit and enrich the lives of those who embrace it, and besides which i have absolutely no right to tell people what they can and can not believe in and doing so results in hostility.
i learned a long time ago that the internet is not the place for religious debate, perhaps that's a lesson you should also learn.

it's people like Nacho that give us atheists a bad name.

try out FoxIt Reader Creator (https://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/creator/) it seems to have a free one year license, but it's only $29.99 to buy.

Boyd, it's hanging way before an OS would even come into the mix

ah right, i misread that bit.
interestingly enough my motherboard (ASUS K8V-SE Deluxe) supposedly actually has voice recordings for errors aswell as beeps, although i'm guessing it's probably for more common errors.
also about the LED on the motherboard, i'm pretty sure that's the BIOS battery light (or something to that effect), and pretty much all motherboards have those and they remain on even when the pc is powered down (only exception to that is if the PSU is switched off/unplugged).

(ignore the AGS binary room on there, it's an old one that is glitched)

i had a similar thing to the startup issue happen to me a while ago when i did something to mess up my registry, only it would just keep restarting just after it told me it was loading windows, and not even safemode helped.
in the end to save myself losing any data i bought a new hard drive and re-installed windows on to it, then used my old one as a secondary drive.
one slightly easier and cheaper way to see if it's a hardware or software error though would be to grab Ubuntu or some other linux distro that can run straight from the disc, if that works i'd suspect a software issue.
if not i'd probably agree with the bad RAM.

my dad has hundreds of old LPs.

i'm no expert on the subject but what with the DirectX engine couldn't this sort of stuff be done if shader support was implemented?

the room i still going over at http://www.stickam.com/member/loadChatRoom.do?roomId=856703
