Whatya got sh*t in your ears? It was just a warning thanks to all you useless tattle-tell girlies with your panties in wad. :mad::mad::mad::mad:

Thanks for the heads up about this movie project, I hadn't heard of it until now. Yeah it sucks to hear it may never get finished. Well hopefully Dale Dye can get some financial help from the likes of Hanks and Spielberg. Remember he was their senior military advisor for Saving Pvt. Ryan and Band of Brothers. They're obviously partial to WWII history/movies and could easily get this project up and running again. Not quite sure about that whole "bloodiest small arms battle in US history" statement. Sounds more like PR or a marketing tag line than a historical statement.

I'd like to spam the Peng Pong thread once again,

Pat, I'd like to solve the puzzle please... :cool:

Total price for the above specs after the 5% deduction is $1030. I also get Age of Conan and MS Flight X Deluxe Sim(gotta get Vista) for free. I was still under the impression that 64-bit Vista is still too unreliable for gaming. I know it's better than XP 64-bit. I also read that most of the 4GB will be recognized in Vista 32-bit, about 3 to 3.75GB will get recognized, it's dependent on graphics card memory. Btw, this is the benchmark that sold me on the Duo cores: http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/desktop-cpu-charts-q3-2008/Crysis-1680x1050,818.html I'll just get the quads when the games start using them more often in a year or two. Also I'm not relying on or expecting W7 to be great out of the gate. I read somewhere that the earliest it will ship is end of the year or early next year. Knowing MS, I wouldn't be surprise if we don't see it til mid-next year. I pretty much never buy any OS early after it's release anyway. Having said that know, I've heard many good things about it. I may very well be an early adopter, who knows.

Wow, Cyberpowerpc.com is a lot cheaper. I'm getting a better card, PSU, and HD for about the same price. But getting a cheaper CPU. I decided to try Vista Premium since it's cheaper. I can always go with dual boot with XP Pro, so whatever. I'm gonna skip on the quad and go with the e8500 and overclock it. So I'm gonna get the Thermaltake Big Typhoon VX Gaming CPU Cooling Fan. Btw, is it difficult overclocking the CPU? (Getting ahead of myself here) Now about the MB. I've also decided to skip on SLI altogether and stick with just one card. Seems easier for us less tech-savy people and save some money too. What's the best MB to get? Here's the list in my duo spec: (all non SLI/Crossfire) Asus P5GC Intel 945GC MSI G31M-F Intel G31 Gigabyte EP43-DS3L Intel P43 MSI P43 Neo3-F P43 MSI P45 Neo-F P45 I was gonna go with the MSI P45 Neo-F P45 simply because it costs the most. So are all the new MBs out there all SLI and Crossfire? Or is there other better ones not in the list? Updated specs I picked out: *BASE_PRICE: [+559] CASE: ($10 off Mail-in Rebate) Raidmax Sagitta II Mid-Tower 420W Gaming Case w/ Side-Panel Window [-7] (Blue Color) CS_FAN: Extra Case Cooling Fan [+3] (2 x Fans [+3]) CPU: (Sckt775)Intel® Core™ 2 Duo E8500 CPU @ 3.16GHz 1333FSB 6MB L2 Cache 64-bit [+26] FAN: Thermaltake Big Typhoon VX Gaming CPU Cooling Fan (Excellent Overclocking + Silent Proof 16dBA) [+45] HDD: Single Hard Drive (500GB SATA-II 3.0Gb/s 16MB Cache 7200RPM HDD) MOTHERBOARD: MSI P45 Neo-F P45 Chipset LGA775 Supports Core 2 Duo CPU FSB1333 DDR2/800 Mainboard w/GbLAN,USB2.0,&7.1Audio [+50] MEMORY: 4GB (2GBx2) PC6400 DDR2/800 Dual Channel Memory (Corsair or Major Brand) OS: Microsoft® Windows Vista™ Home Premium w/ Service Pack 1 [+104] (32-bit Edition) PRO_WIRING: Professional Wiring for All WIRINGs Inside The System Chasis with High Performance Thermal Compound on CPU [+19] POWERSUPPLY: 750 Watts Power Supplies [+79] (Corsair CMPSU-750TX - Quad SLI Ready [+90]) VIDEO: NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX+ 1GB 16X PCI Express [+118] (Major Brand Powered by NVIDIA)

It could also mean that your PC is dehydrated. Simply lay it on it's side and take the side panel off and pour water all over the motherboard. Also make sure the power is on when doing this. That should take care of it.

Sure no problem, anytime, glad to help!

I never heard of such parade scenarios. Have you played around with the editor at all? This sounds pretty simple to whip up in the editor. I'm guessing less than 20 mins to make, depending on how much detail you want.

I for you guys showing how to win this scenario. It's kinda complicated so your gonna have to watch the whole thing.

For what it's worth, my mom got a new Dell laptop(forget the exact model) for x-mas with Vista Premium and 4GB of RAM that uses integrated graphics. I decided to install the CMx1 games to see for myself the problems I heard people have with Vista. But there were none, it ran fine. Although I couldn't use anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering. But again, this is CMAK/CMBB and not CMSF.

Hey Axe, get your ass back in the Peng with the rest of the maggots and stop spreading the filth. :mad:

Yeah but I'm getting this from ibuypower.com and not building it from scratch. I'm just too lazy and had a bad experience in the past. It's pre-build all the way for me. I've been debating this, it's either the Duo E8600 (2x 3.33GHz/6MB L2 Cache/1333FSB) or the Quad Q9550 (4x 2.83GHz/12MB L2 Cache/1333FSB). This quad costs only $9 dollars more than the Duo. I probably won't be overclocking, but couldn't I OC the Q9550 just as much as the Q6600. Also I figure for programs/games that only use single core, there won't be that big of a performance decrease from the Quad 2.83GHz vs. the Duo 3.33GHz. Btw, I picked this for cooling, AVC Silent Intel CPU Fan and Heatsink. I really don't know much about the MBs. I'm certainly not planning on going SLI in the future. But it would be nice to have it as an option though. How are the Crossfire MBs? Would this be a better option? Well I've decided not to bother with Vista, heard too many bad things about it. Besides, half the reason I wanted to go with Vista was so the 4GB of RAM gets used. Instead of the about 3GB which will be used in XP Pro. Also I think XP Home only recognizes 2GB? Yeah I've tried spec'ing out a Core i7 system, it always tended to cost more. I got the impression I get a better bang for my buck sticking with quads or duos. I'm trying to rally this all up for about $1000 bucks. So it's a constant give and take, somethings gotta go. I initially spec'd out a PC for only $850 and was happy with it. But the more I look into the details and the more I re-spec, then the higher the price goes up.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I still haven't ordered anything yet, I take my good ole time when it comes to buying PCs. Here's my updated specs: Intel Core 2 Quad Processor Q9550 (4x 2.83GHz/12MB L2 Cache/1333FSB 650 Watt Casegears ECO-Element 80 Plus Certificated High Efficiency PSU Asus P5N-D Nvidia nForce 750i SLI Chipset 4 GB [2 GB X2] DDR2-800 PC6400 Memory Module Nvidia Geforce 9600 512MB Windows XP Professional w/ Service Pack 2 -------------------- -$80 (free shipping) $1061 -5% = $1007.95 It sucks that XP Pro is a lot more expensive. As I mentioned earlier, the graphics card is just a placeholder, I plan on getting a much better one in the future.

Haha, that's great. LOL

For anybody else looking, I found some scenarios. Did a search for Aliies->partisans over at SDII and here's the results. I'm currently playing "SB Hunting Slobo's Band" as the Hungarians. The others look pretty good too. I also found an operation over at TPG called "Hunt for Vasili" by JasonC. This is the only operation I found that has partisans in it. I'll probably give a try.

Gee, I had no idea, I thought all the hardware experts were in the CM forums. What makes you think I'm not frequenting other hardware sites like these: http://www.tomshardware.com/us/ http://www.guru3d.com/ http://hothardware.com/ http://www.pchardwarehelp.com/

Interesting article about "XP vs. Vista vs. W7" here. Ok, F*CK Vista, I'll pay extra for XP then. Btw, could I use my old XP Home Edition from my Alienware PC dating back to 2003? I know there is some kind of hardware check(MB, HD, memory, and graphics card) when you install and register XP on a PC. Or is it possible to use my friends XP Pro on my new machine?

Anybody get the feeling that there's some superior species out there looking down on us? Just like how we look down on a busy ant hill. :eek: I think I've made 1 or 2 comments on Youtube and thought "What the hell am I doing?". Talk about getting drowned out by a bunch blowhard kids.

Now that's state-of-the-art! :eek:

Ok, thanks for verifying this Moon.

Not to mention the 105mm howitzer the Specter packs.

Saw it over the weekend, not bad I enjoyed it. But now the obvious question, any recommendations for partisan scenarios?

Anybody confirm if there will be some kind of a combo deal with Marines+Brit packs together? IIRC Moon mentioned that there will be, not sure though. I'm thinking maybe $25 Marines + $25 Brits = $50 = combo deal $40.

Actually I just joined WaW about a week ago. Wanna be my first victim Coil? I got room for an extra battle since the Masters tourney might get trimmed to 2 scenarios per round.
