Hey Boesman, Cameron has already posted it! I read about GTA:San Andreas on the Multi Theft Auto forum. Just go to their site and search for it.

Hey g3ck0, I'm busy playing Gothic 2 at the moment. It's a huge game; I've been at it for around 10 hours now & I've still barely dented it. Graphics are amazing, and there are tons of side quests and bonuses to do. Controls are a bit annoying at first, but when you get used to them they're ok. ...

Hehe, I've got a really cool stick-figure porno one, but I think it's a little too much for the forum

I believe the new GTA is called GTA:San Andreas. It will definitely feature a multiplayer feature, with different modes of play.

Oh yes, now it rings a bell. /me was thinking Riva was an ATi card there for a minute

BTW in case anyone else is interested, there's a bunch of gfx tweaking utilities here.

I thought RivaTuner was only for Radeon-based cards (cos of the 'Riva' bit)? Oh well, if it's for GeForce as well I'll give it a try. Thks O1K.

Anyone know of a decent tweaker for GeForce cards? I'm getting a Ti4200 today (upgrading from a Radeon 9000), and the old programs I used to use for tweaking (GeForce Tweak Utility & NVMax) are now discontinued.

AFAIK no one should have any version of it, but it's cool to see what it's gonna look like and to mess around in it. Probably buggy as hell, but it's getting better.

I had to format my box the other day, and instead of putting XP Pro back on I installed 2003 Server to see what it's like. It's similar to 2000 & XP, and I seem to be getting basically the same performance in games and so on (will have to confirm with benchmarks). So, if this OS is as stable as ...

I found a link to the latest build version the other day at work, so I downloaded it. Haven't burned it to cd yet (it's an iso), but I'll try it this week. If it's cool I'll pm you the link greedyfly.

(Btw I think it's around 600mb so I hope ur not on 56k )

To answer Scarlet_Spider's q: ICANN?

Wow, lots of Bennies boys on this forum. I´m an old boy there myself, class of ´99. I´m 22, living in Edenvale, and I´m studying psychology at Wits; see a few other psyc ppl around here too, cool <IMG SRC="images/forum/smilies/icon_smile.gif">

Never mind, sorted it out.

I just got this game a couple days ago, and it crashes every time I try to save. There´s no support page for it on the developer´s site, and I can´t find a solution anywhere on the net either. Any ideas?

Downloaded it at work yesterday. The demo looks crap compared to Rugby 2001, mainly coz you can´t change many of the options. Controls are also weird. Haven´t tried messing with any .ini files yet, hopefully that´ll let me change resolution, etc.

Cool, thks for the advice guys. Sheer FPS bliss, here I come <IMG SRC="images/forum/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif">

I think Abe is talking about the mod that lets you ´hack´ a 9500 and make it a 9700.

Hmm, the Sapphire 9800 128MB (non-pro) is $279. Not bad compared to the prices over here! Sounds like a good buy, hehe, think I´m gonna get it.

So the best idea would be to get a 9800 non-pro and then overclock? There are a few brands on gameve.com (Sapphire, ATi, Powercolor), anyone got opinions on any of those cards?

What are the clock/memory speeds on the 9700 Pro? I know the 9800 non-pro is 325/580.

I turned 22 on Saturday and still got all my hair! I´ve kept it fairly long since I left school though so maybe not cutting it for so long keeps it on my head <IMG SRC="images/forum/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif"> Don´t see any greu hairs yet, but I´m sure they´re not far off. <BR> <BR>________...

A friend of mine is coming back from the US in a month or so, and she´s gonna bring me a new gfx card (woohoo!). The problem is that I can´t decide what to get. My budget is max $300, so a 9800 Pro is out of the question. I found a decent non-pro <!-- BBCode u2 Start --><A HREF="http://www.game...

I dunno how he got the id; all I know is that it´s on the machine and I can use it, no questions asked <IMG SRC="images/forum/smilies/icon_smile.gif">

Yup, Broken is a cool Seether song SnowMonkey! /me plays it on guitar really well <IMG SRC="images/forum/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif"> <BR> <BR>Otherwise I like most acoustic versions of songs, especially The Goo Goo Dolls (Slide, Iris, Sympathy, etc - all acoustic versions), and generally an...

Hey Cookiemonster, I would gladly share it with you but it´s not my program; another admin here is responsible for it & it´s his username and password. Don´t thinkit would work anyway if we were sharing the same details. <BR> <BR>Btw I use <!-- BBCode auto-link start --><a href="http://www....
