Your First Forum Post Here

[GDI_Lord]

While searching through my posts looking for a post that I had made I decided to see what my first post here was. I had a bit of an embarrassed laugh at mine (ah, to be 21 again!) and wondered what your first posts were.

Search here for it and then copy the direct link to it and quote your post on this thread! I'd love to point and laugh at your first posts, completely lacking context of course!

Hate to do this to your idea, but what about ergonomics? Carpal Tunnel Syndrome anybody? Secondly, if you need to quickly tap a key with your (presumably) right hand, then what? And the ball scratching IS a valid point, I mean, what if your underpants starts to creep...?

Haha!

This seems to be my first one: http://forums.pcformat.co.za/viewtopic. ... 1#p1078121

Have you tried resetting the router to original settings and then setting your network card to obtain IP automatically? Forgive me if this is too obvious.

Edit: I have been alerted that it is my second post by Oom Doo.

Hey guys.

Here is my current system, if you want to have a laugh!

AMD 3500+
1.5 Gig ValueRam 667
Sparkle GeForce 7100gs
160 Gig Maxtor ATA Hard Drive

So, I have been surfing around looking for the best deal for a more respectable setup and have narrowed onto these components:

Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3GHz 6MB 1333Mhz FSB R1787
Leadtek WinFast PX9800 GT 16xPCIE 256-bit 512MB GDDR3 R1629
2 * Corsair DDR2-800 1GB XMS2 Xtreme Performance R500
Asus P5KPL-C/1600 IG31 Motherboard w/A8 + LK + SATA2 R712
500 W Power supply R374

Now, that graphics card’s price has got me somewhat worried.
etc
etc

3DMark03 on PCF
hi cameron - this is my first post here and even though ive been a member at madonion/futuremark forums for about two years now i havent downloaded it yet since my system wouldnt get a good enough score to justify the download but if i was to get it in your coverdisk id probably run it just for kicks

this was in early 2003 at a time when i was into benchmarking and i was a member of planetmars way before i joined PC format forums ie when Mars was the editor of PCF

Well then, looks like this is the new party. Can't Believe Miktar did that.
Been losing interest in games anyway, slowly but surely (hope it doesn't continue), so now I'll hang here.

PS: way back in page 4 or 5 or something, it sounded like someone had a problem with Star Wars ( ), so I just wanna say it is the ULTIMATE. Besides, looking at OnlyOne (post count- Brazed go cry like a baby), I'd say it is pretty dangerous not to like it... Just kidding.

Hey, this looks like a cool place after all.

Edit : found a typo.

Erm... just cos it's ATi doesn't mean you have a top of the range card. What chipset is it? and how much Ram do you have?

wut

Lol, we haven't changed very much have we? I could probably ID all of you from reading just those posts

What I just realized is that this thread was created for the purpose of reposting a previous post, we originally posted ions ago...it this what the Forum has come too :p

Repostception!

Naw jk, it is fun to see what we previously posted first and how far we have come since then...well, some of us :p

Ugly?

I have both games full versions and not either one of them are ugly.

May I ask what card you are running.
I am using a 9800xt, and I run everthing on high.
Area 51 has better graphics than Pariah though.
I was pleasantly surprised at the graphics in Area 51.
And the intro is not bad at all.

Shot.

Haha lol...

I do know for a fact I am still using my original Avvie...I use it everywhere I go...dashing through the snow...

meh Mine was asking for advice on cooling paste: http://forums.pcformat.co.za/viewtopic. ... 397#p88397

Hey There

I recently bought myself the Gigabyte 3d Cooler Pro and it is a brilliant heatsink and fan, my only problem is the paste that came with it. It does very little in the way of transferring heat so I'm looking to buy new thermal paste and I want to know whats better out of the these two. Artic Silver 5 or Artic Silver Ceramique and why?

Anakha.

That's a FAIL Molean, lol!!!

[GreyWolf]

On August 7th 2003,

Specs: Athlon 2200+ XP, 256 MB 266MHz DDR RAM, GeForce 4 MX 440, Gigbyte Mobo, Win 98, DirectX 8. Problem: Run UT 2003, runs quite smooth, but a funny sort of "blockiness" appears. No particular place, just at random. Original UT runs like a dream (1280x1024 @ 32 bit color). Any suggestions?

I can barely translate, but it seems I was asking for some help concerning some graphical glitches I was experiencing with Unreal Tournament 2003.

I must be going mad. I read an article in the latest mag about a competition where you experience gaming in real life. It is in connection with the Zone. Why can't I see any rules and info on the website. Need to know age limits, etc.

Please help!!

Agreed....

Problem : The alg used to handle rounding for doubles is prone to NaN or Infinity on certain cpu's.... ignore this at your own peril. You can check for these using the static methods Double.isNaN(dble) or Double.isInfinity(dble)....

Consider using BigDecimal or BigInteger in double precision ops....

I'd also lol looking back at that now: you shoulda told him to use assembler.
