RE: [OT][hlds] New Video Card For HL2?
I have a coolmax silent 480W power supply ($60, also from newegg), and it powers my 3 hard drives, 4 cooling fans, 2 dvd burners, athlon64 3200+, 1GB ddr 4000 and geforce 6800 wonderfully. I don't know of any pc power supply that costs "several hundred $$". On a side note, the 6800 ultra takes an additional slot next to your agp slot, due to its massive heatsink. If you're using a micro-atx case, this could be problematic.

It's my undersanding that the 6800 requires a more robust power supply, in the order of at least 500W but 600W is recommended. The X800 has no enhanced power supply requirements. That should also be considered when upgrading.

I like zipzoomfly.com better, bigger variety, and way lower prices, thats just my opinion.

[hlds] CS-Server Invalid STEAM UserID Ticket
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Hi all I am trying to create a Dedicated CS server. I started the server, made the updates using the command prompt cause I am running on a Windows machine and the server looks fine i can even find it from game spy or The Eye. The thing is everytime someone try to join the server they get an dialog box asking to the players to enter their steam account information ( email and password) after they type it comes this error saying Your Steam Ticket has expired, please re-enter your password to continue. They type it correctly but it wont work. The server logs shows something: Dropped Player from server Reason: Invalid STEAM UserID Ticket What do i have to do to fix it ? Does the server need to have it s own serial number ? Please I am starting now with CS servers so please be patient :) Thanks a lot, Alex - Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo!

Re: [OT][hlds] New Video Card For HL2?
HL2 is a D3D based game and ATI does D3D better. Doom3 is an OpenGL game, whcih Nvidia does better. So the querstion is which game and its mods will you play more? If its HL2 then get an ATI card.
