Latest issue

Heya! We'll see what we can do about Proatt. Also re the game reviews - the last two months have been very thin in terms of new games. It's that time of the year unfortunately. We get all the latest releases from the distributors and then we review them so it isn't a lucky dip kinda thing. You'll enjoy the April issue because there are tons of really cool new releases in there

Suprise!! He dose now. Loved all your comments. Cunstructive criticism never hurt anyone. Even the guy who thought it was rushed. I'll try harder next time not to do the cover under the influence of alcohol. Everything seems blurry then.

Yip. I should really learn how to spell sometime. "dose" My current state of mind at the moment.

well as long as we are on the "constructive criticism" front... I got one for ya...

edit the reviews from the UK more closely... its hard enough trying to convert ZAR prices into Zambian curency without the Pound sterling showing its head every once in a while. It is also annoying to see a product mentioned in the article that is nowhere in the rest of the review. Like in Feb issue, the MoBo test. There was mention of an Abit mobo in the text, but it was missing from the test.

First off all I said the overclocking section sucks,then jee gaved me a stuped comment, I couldnt resist callin her a old hag,but im sorry for that,but she should have keeped her mouth closed then I wouldnd have done that...

Proatt this is your last warning. Jee, like everyone else on these forums including you, has the right to have her say. She wasn't abusive or antagonistic towards you - she merely disagreed with you - so this does not justify name calling in any way whatsoever. This time she wasn't the one complaining, I was, and many other people have since come forward to ask for your removal from the forums. Kindly read the forum guidelines, refrain from abusive behaviour and we'll all get along nicely.

If you have a problem with the magazine or people on the forums discuss these issues constructively. Hurling abuse like "it sucks" or "old hag" doesn't do anything except make you look foolish. Last warning.

There was absolutely no need for you to call jee an old hag. I suggest you be a man and stop acting like little kid and apologise. I dont call the above an apology either so dont say that you've already said sorry.

Now, back to the topic

whohoo the big guns have come to the party, i noticed a small glitch in the overclocking area of the mag not sure if it was meant to be like that or not but it confused me for a second or two its on page 23 in the box showing how much you overclocked either the card or processor by. The first box is titled graphics card yet you have the processor names in there with a graphics card picture was that a typo? im just pointing it out for future editions

This is something that bother me a bit as well. Another thing that bothered me slightly was the fact that ATITool had been left off the coverdisc even though it was supposed to have been included. Given, it's a tiny download, and it's only one program, but i'm just saying that the CD should be checked to ensure that all programs have in fact been included.

Just my 2cents worth

You'll see for alot of products it states "not known when it will be available in SA but it's reviewed anyway" so they really can only give a foreign price.

Really sorry about that but which issue are you talking about and where did it mention that it was included on the disc?

Post by **Anakha56** » 10 Mar 2005, 12:31

hey cameron i the latest issue of PCF page 22 in a small box called "How it's done"

1: Install and run ATITool from your PCF coverdisc.

it doesnt say which disk but i would understand it to be under the new disc.

Ja, it's under the overclocking section. It really isn't a major problem, and like I said, it's only a small program.

Maybe a review liscensed from the UK PCF and you guys forgot to read through and include the relevant programs?
