heh... wotta waste!! Chris, you OC the 3800 X2, right? What board are you using? I'm now backing off of the Asus A8N-SLI due to folks on Anand's forum complaining about it. Can't decide yet. Folks say that NF4 boards are rife with problems anyway..
You went GTX? wow, what monitor/resolution are you using? Nobody has mentioned FEAR yet. I got it last Sunday, and it's forcing me to upgrade my system Just got 2x 1GB RAM sticks, that'll temporarily help my choppy poerformance until i get the other components in. FEAR has the most amazing AI I have ever seen, it really is a pulse-racer! Thsese guys really seem to think on their own. Yep, Q4 & SS2 are on the way, Earth 2160 is coming next month as well. Was lean times for a while, now a glut of great games. wooohooo! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Chris Reeves Sent: Wednesday, October 19, 2005 9:31 PM To: 'The Hardware List' Subject: RE: [H] OT - Great week for gaming Civ IV is the first game I'll buy on the first day it releases since.. Civ III. :) I've seen the behind the scenes looks, etc.. Hell, if just for the new religion aspect and nuclear powers (plus bringing back wonder videos) as well as influence in battle.. Oh yeah, I'm all over Civ IV :) (You know, it's weird, people ask all the time, here I am running a 3800X2 + a 7800GTX, and the hottest game on my PC will be Civ IV..)

Been waiting a couple years for these games :) BTW, if anyone is going to pick up AOE 3 the Collector's Edition is WELL worth it. You get the game, a making of DVD, soundtrack on CD, a well written book with an overview of history, each civ, and how to rush/boom/turtle with each civ, an awesome coffe table art book, a poster, a manual, and a fold-out quick reference chart. Awesome OOTB experience :) Downside is my girlfriend is going to hate me for the next few months :( -- Brian
