It's somewhat rare but try this tweak in the case it's a pagepool issue - - - Start Menu > Run > regedit Surf down to this key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management Double click on "PagedPoolSize". Hexadecimal is listed first. Change the "Value Data" to one of these below: (Note: You only need to enter EITHER Hexadecimal or Decimal. They both are the same.) Megabytes Hexadecimal Decimal 192Mb 0c000000 201326592 256Mb 10000000 268435456 384Mb 18000000 402653184 personal - I went with the 384Mb option Once I was done I made sure to reboot my computer. --- --- --- I had to use that tweak when my source games would crash if I had placed the vid quality settings on mid to high. Something to do with DirectX I suppose. When I did that, my source games ran flawlessly and beautifully on high quality...

http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/?p=466 wow so... Quake II, SMB, Castlevania:SoTN, Silent Hill/Resident Evil, Metroid Prime etc all sucked wet donkey balls..? How ass-backwards the guy is... Bitter fool is more like it... Maybe he was eyeing the PS3 too much along with their PRs.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814143114 Go nuts with it. IMO I have not seen any advantage to having 512 over 256 in gfx cards. From what I've noticed it's just added padding to make them look good. EditL I just noticed on the comments it stated that it can't do AA which made me say WTF!? So... Upon further searching here's a good one under $200 -->http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814143112

Being the current owner of my own copy of Painkiller & PK: Battle out of Hell.... Hell yeah I'm looking forward to it.

I sometimes go by my OCR forum name "Schwaltzvald" but more often I go by my crew name {GCC}Setzer Gambiani. I'm enjoying the hell out of it, especially with my recent goodluck with soldier/hw/demoman

I'd like to also mention some real good titles have been coming out for the PS2, though not as noticed as say the huge titles (halo3/SMG/TF2) but still much better than the lackluster PS3... Although the upcoming Rachet & Clank game may change that, I have doubts for it will go further till the bigger names come up; MGS/RE5/SH5/DMC4... I really would love to see some incredible titles that would want me to buy a PS3 but as of now it's just not happening... Makes me want Sony to simply make a do-over on the PS systems...

It is Well, though technically its named well3 or 2, something like that, we know it as Well

fixed for accuracy

QFE & T Never seen respawn times for TFC at all... TF2 on the other hand... my only real gripe with it as some servers seem to insist on it while others have the instantaneous respawn like in TFC

I'd buy it when it comes out

Alot of custom maps are actually being tested rather than openly available on account of the custom maps are just hacks on the source engine utilizing HL2, CS:S and TF2 materials. There is no official SDK specifically out yet for TF2 like HL2/HL2DM/CS:S does... Maybe in the next patch it will be easier to map for TF2. As for the game itself, it's awesome as it has been said before. Love playing as all classes.

Seriously does setting the compatability of the ff7 app to Win95 - Win2000 not work at all on XP or vista..?

Can I assume you've decided not to take up the offer..?

I agree that downloadable old titles (even if a fee is involved) would be fair enough to drop the BC from the PS3 if it was cheaper as well as the option of exchanging the hard drives. however I honestly don't see what's so silly about an old title taking up the only disc slot as I doubt one would be playing a psone game and a PS3 game at the same time. Just takes less than a minute ti switch discs... Instead of filling up the provided hard drive with old titles why not simply have the option to play legal copies of psone/ps2 titles..?

But it's not, its a multimedia system with the added bonus of playing games that use blue-ray technology. Don't get me wrong, I actually like my ps2 and its games just as I enjoy some titles from M$ Corp and Nintendo/Sega etcetera. I also look forward to playing titles that will eventually come out for the PS3, yet unlike the time where I wanted to continue playing some NES games while wanting the SNES, there aren't currently anything worth spending the ludicrous amount of cash sony wants for their product. What Sony should have done is found a way to have kept the PS3 between the current prices of the 360 & Wii, and developed software/games in advance to be the forerunners of possibly very awesome titles to come. In regards to Backwards Compatibility, it very well would have been fine to have left it out of the PS3 had the system had anything incredible enough to want to move on from PS2 tech. As it stands now, it does not and it currently is a depressing system even without comparing to other consoles or to the gaming enthusiast variety of PCs...

Works fine with me as well, and I'm on WinXP Pro as well as I use foobar2k for my music playing needs.

I sent you a pm in regards to a solution to your dilemma

Now THIS is making the PS3 useful, at least to some one... http://www.wired.com/techbiz/it/news/2007/10/ps3_supercomputer Very useful but wow

Yeah considering how the story itself went I thought it was an ending to the zero series; A fitting one actually. But yeah I'd love to see a revamped MM series as for SF4 If on the Wii, they better make it so I can use the classic controller as well as the wiimote. The classic controller was perfect console wise...

use a psx emulator and iso copy..? Runs wonderfully for me when I lost my old psone mem card and can no longer save on my ps2... For regulars though... Assuming you're trying to play the PC version, check the compatability and try setting it to windows 95/98/2000 if XP is really giving u trouble...

I'd like to see SF4 on all the consoles rather than keeping it exclusive... --- They tried somewhat with MM on the psp, didn't do as well as they'd like... The zero series technically ended at 4 with no news of a 5th, yet speculation say a possible 5th, idk... I wouldn't mind a total clean up of the original series, (the ports while still enjoyable were just that ports)but updating and making it a more action intensive series... Not gonna say the latest graphics are needed as that won't mean much if its still the same game with eye candy coating... Wouldn't hurt though... Heck be as difficult as reasonbly possible (personal preference) redone artwork/music/style of sprites/models. or... MML3

If you want you can try some tweaked/modified drivers like from driverheaven or something as they are designed specifically to squeeze more performance/quality out of gfx cards... Plus u already got a beefy vid card, do u really need more power or are u having issues with apps like hl2..?

old-fashioned ring - for random calls Clock Tower 3 OST: Clock Tower - (for my parents & my woman's parents calling me) Afterimage - (for my woman calling me) Silent Hill 4: The Room OST The Last Mariachi - (For calls from work) side note* I did have at one point the opening track for Rozen Maiden 2nd season as a ring tone from my girl as a surprise from her. When you're stuck using the bus one day, you're dressed rather formally and that song rings out very clearly, not obnoxiously loud mind ya but still loud enough for me as well as others around you to hear; you're gonna get looks of all varieties... Learned to lock my phone from her for now on and changed it to a less attention grabbing tune. edit: to those interested in hearing what those tracks sound like, pm me for them, yes even the "surprise" SHE surprised me with if you want...

This might be able to help you... http://aqua-soft.org/board/archive/index.php?t-10749.html

Alot of applications are cpu dependant than gpu dependant. If anything you probably would have seen some sort of improved quality & performance if you overclock your cpu. The downside though is that it will get hotter so you'll need more than the stock heatsink & thermal paste... That said, imo it's not worth possibly wrecking your hardware when you can just get beefier hardware than can run just as powerful but stable...
