It could probably run without one, since the Athlon X2 4000+ is a 65nm processor and thus produces very little heat. I would probably put a low speed one in the back, just for peace of mind. Plus, it will help cool the hard drive and motherboard components through indirect airflow.

These are nearly silent, and actually push a good bit of air for how slow they run. Since you don't have any especially hot components, it should do fine.

this movie looked good until they got to the talking polar bear in the trailer
it just ruins the whole thing

Right now, the 8800GT is the only card that matters.
I wouldn't go that far. The Radeon 3850/3870 are pretty bangin' for the price.
-
I like to think of the 8800GT as kind of a "second coming" to the 6600GT.
The right amount of performance at the right price at the right time.

I wouldn't mind hearing this.

Yeah, the 8500GT is kinda bottom of the current-gen barrel. Although, you could probably get like 4 of them for the price of an 8800GT. So if there's a way to SLI 4 8500GTs, you might be in business.
That would actually be pretty cool, just because somebody bothered to try it.
Still an enormous waste of time and money though.
Just for fun, I looked something up:
"double the fun" with Zotac 8500GT SLI is not enough to win against a single 8600GT which, as we said before, costs less than two of these.Yeah, you're fucked. A single 8600GT can barely do crysis at like 10fps.

Download CCCP (Combined Community Codec Pack) use on the packaged video players they have in there, either zoomplayer or mpc. That should work okay.
Do this.

One 8500 isn't worth the money you pay for it, but 2 in SLI should be fairly good. I would say you would get around 20-30fps in Crysis, give or take.
You would still be better off with say, a single 8800GT or HD3850/3870.

Initials perhaps?
not specific enough

I disable Windows Defender/Firewall but left on the confirmation alerts whenever something starts up. It might just be a placebo effect or it might be legit, but I feel a sense of security when everything I open has to be manually confirmed. I know that might come off as seeming a bit sarcastic, but it's not. You can disable the feature quite easily if you like as well.
Ive already disabled it, one of the first tings I did when I got this laptop.

I've run into very few problems with Vista, and none that I couldn't resolve with a few minutes of research. I enjoy it, it's got plenty of eye-candy and doesn't try to be too new like so many people want it to be. C'mon people, if they changed too much it'd be broken to the point of no return. This is Microsoft we're talking about. Let them stick to what (mostly) works and not try to stray too far from the path they set.
Let Nintendo work on the revolutionary part.
Thats the problem. People bitch for change and then bitch when they get it. I can't entirely blame Microsoft for taking the safe route.
They could have left out the asinine security measures though.

Did anyone mention Megarace yet?
That game had awesome chiptunes.

No.
I didn't like OoT either, but that was mainly due to the lousy framerate which gave me a headache.
i remember it being really crappy in kokiri forest for some reason

500 per card? yeah that is.
an 8800 Ultra only uses 175 watts at max power
But its not just the card you are powering with that thing. Its the ram its the processor its the fans its anything else you might have in therewith a core 2 quad and 4 gigs of ram you are looking at like 175 watts maximum
fans use so little they don't even matter
500 watts on an SLI or Crossfire configuration? I DARE you to try that and see what the end result is. Trust me you wont like it an 800 watt supply is the absolute min if you run two cards if you want to run the rest of your system without overclocking.I build gaming pcs for people, and I have done this several times
guess what
if you use a quality power supply, it works quite well
1000 Watts brings you a cushion that you will need later.SPOILERS: only people who run 8800 ultras in quad crossfire with 17 hard drives , a server mobo and dual core 2 quads even come close to needing 1000 watts
Go to the geek squad if you dont believe me.hahahahaha
Trust me you will want that extra power in a twin video card configuration. Check out the latest gaming PC's they aren't offering less than 1000 watts of power for a reason.they are offering 1000 watt power supplies because people like you who don't know any better think OMG HUGER NUMBERS IS BETTER and pay out the ass for them
Go and read up on how amperage plays into power supplies and how they are used.

yes vista is a disaster.
im beginning to wonder what the breaking point will be for game developers to start writing for linux and other OSes.
its not a disaster, but it's certainly not the best thing since sliced bread either
-
Make sure if you do ya get 1000 watts of power.
Please tell me your kidding.
TV problem...

I forget what actually does this, but yeah, its broken. It will cost more to repair it than what its worth, so time for a new TV. Excellent excuse to go for HD.
Also, never ever ever open a CRT TV or monitor unless you know what you are doing. They can kill. Easily.
