Jason,
Probably correct,But its usually better to awnser a question first and then say,after that,
"By The way,There is a Tech Support forum available too. Just scroll down and check it out. Thats probably the *best* place to get quick help"
Not the way Rob phrased it,and with his previous antics its easy to jump the gun on him so to speak.
I apoligize to Rob,but will continue to ignore him

Zack,
Ignore Rob/1. The only topic cops should be Steve and Charles...
Most AGP Cards will downgrade to the 1.0 Spec (Which includes AGP 1.0 and 2.0 cards.) Your best bet would be either a TNT2 Ultra such as the Guillemot Xentor32 or a 3dfx Voodoo 3 2000 or 3000. All are reasonablely priced in the 100 to 140 dollar range and will make CM look like a million bucks..

Least I can do. I'm trying to help out with your non-existant advertising budget in a positive manner.
Now if you could just get Manieri his Copy so he stops driving around upstate NY looking for my house so we can hotseat

Charles,
I think and hope you succeeded
Now I'm trying to draw Rich in for a PBEM. Since I am TWWWG (The Worlds Worst Wargamer) It shouldn't be a runaway for anyone I have been talking it up gently on the boards there and am sure I have steered a few people this way..

Anyone familiar with the site Gone Gold knows they gave CM some good PR when they started shipping. Rich (The owner-webmaster) has posted his quick take on the game and restated the fact its a "Must Have Game" in his opinion. And from a Self-Professed War Gamer-Lite...
Here's hoping Word of Mouth does its thing

Ahhh,Well,Floor stands are better anyway and reasonable enough at a store like RS. Make sure you let us know how you like em

Exactly Right. Its well written,indexed and informative. ANd not Dry like the Talonsoft offerings. It looks like it was written by human beings,Not an Automaton...
Kudos to a deserving team...

Mikester,
Cool Deal. You get the free wall mounts? Free is free afterall
I was hesitant to spend that much on *computer* speakers also but when you crank em up the first time the smile on your face will be worth the added expense. Hell,I don't even use my Stereo anymore Tailz,
Subwoofers are cool. Meatwater does some cool stuff,but I was dissapointed with his work in Panzer Elite. His EAW and SDOE packs are pure gold tho
Luckily I have no neighbors I need to overpower but my dog does get a little nervous when the arty rains down

"Hmmmm Wonder If I can get commision from Klipsch for this"
-
Mikester,
Klipsch Store and they have rear speaker stands available but are $89/pair (OUCH)
But they are offering free shipping and wall mounts for the speakers FREE for a limited time (Not sure for how long)
-Rook , Always happy to help spend your money
-
Mikester,
They are only available two places as far as I can tell. Directly from Klipsch or from Dell's online store Gigabuys..
No rear stands included but I got a pair at radio shack reasonably priced. The ones that Creative ships frankly Suck
You will not be sorry. Only downside is they do not do 5.1 but I can't tell the difference anyway

Mikester,
The Promedia V2 400's are an amazing set of speakers. Simply stated they blow away all my friends Stereo Speakers and Surround Setups. By a wide margin. The highs are very clean,the midrange is just as good and the Low end (Bass) could perform CPR on a small child.
If I had neighbors close enough I am sure when I fire off a full magazine of 9mm in Rogue Spear it would sound like I wass offing my Family. When Artillery hits in CM I am scarred
Get them. Order them now they will take 6 weeks as Klipsch is always on backorder. But you will be soo happy with them.
I have a set of the Creative FPS2000 (Almost the same as the DTS2500's) on my second rig. They are very nice but nowhere near as powerful. They are worthy of the excellent reviews they get,but are not in the same league IMHO. They use digital out and it eliminates the hum and hiss you hears sometimes when other speakers get turned way up and there is no sound at the time,like in windoze. The Klipsch are analog and hum a little but its not bad at all...
Hope this helps,

L4D,
I had a MX300 also,and that used a little more,3 or 4% but I wanted the digital out
I suggest anyone who is a gamer to avoid any A3D Board not based on the 8330 chipset. They are usually A3D 1.0 and suck down CPU Cycles like Sebastian Janakowskis dates suck down roofies
I just don't like the Creative Labs guys either. If it was up to them we'd still be using ISA soundcards
Hopefully Aureal can ressurect themselves and continue to produce cutting edge chips and api's...Until mine doesn't work with CM2 or 3 I will keep it I think.

Lefty,
Not nescesarrily true about the CPU Utilization. My Aureal SQ2500 Superquad which is a slightly updated A3D 2.0 card uses between 0 to 2% on average...
And I think the 3D Sound is better than the Live! (Which for me has to much reverb)
And,a great deal. Seen them available online for around 40 bucks,and it will allow the use of digital speakers like the Live! series do...

Capt,
Assaulting a Mailman is a Federal offense so you might be taking college courses in Prison.
And,All you DC'ers. Archangel in particular...

Derek,
Not much. Drop me an email and we'll hook up for a few PBEM's... <My correct email is listed in my profile>
Congrats on the Son. I am sure you will indoctrinate him correctly
Soon he will be wiping the floor with you in H2H. My 6 year old Godson can whup me in H2H Nascar 
Either he is really good or I suck. I hope its the former

Derek,
Long time no see
I beleive it started out along those lines. Glad you found the game. The Demo great,and the full version is even better -Rookie

The game is nothing like R6. The closest thing to WW2 R6 is a game by Illusion Softworks called Hidden and Dangerous which is a steal at $20.
CM Plays like no other game,wargame or otherwise.
Capt., Are you on a Mac or PC? The PC version was rather buggy without a patch and very up to date vid card drivers...
