I've never thought it was a matter of the NHL not wanting it on major networks; it was a matter of major networks not wanting to air NHL games that get ratings in the 2.0 range when they could be airing I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here for 6.0.

I can see that show being a disaster, but ultimately that's a fault of the NHL for being completely irrelevent.

Speaking of that robotic cat, I wished it exploded when it loses/dies. It would be saving grace for beating the living crap out of it in the fair.  :finger: :offtopic:

It's 2-0, Red Wings, and I ask this question... why does the NHL want to air the next two games on a non-major network and assume people will care about the falling tree in the forest?

I saw this topic and thought Lenophis was leaving us  :omg:

Anyways, I think Leno's funnier than Letterman... but Conan's simply better. I don't watch late night shows that often, but FOX would have been smart to pick him up.. since they completely lack any sort of late night talkshow.

Pens in 7... only because I'm rooting for a friend that roots for the Pens.

Although, my heart says Wings would win in 6 again, just to give a repeat kick in the nuts.

US Version: Capsule Monsters ask for rare items a good chunk of the time.
Japanese and International Versions: Capsule Monsters ask for storebought items a good chunk of the time.

I eventually figured out which items were ideal, and remembered to feed crap to them just because crap is crap.

 :tongue: I already knew that.

I'm trying to remember which high end video card was CPU limited.. I assume the SLI/Crossfire varients are by default.

Given the absolute shit video card, no. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883227125

CPU should be roughly the same speed, and the video card is probably..... 15X faster. At least.

Last gen's lower mid-range card is a terrible bet. An ATI 4850 would be far better. It's not the fastest, but the cheapest of the current gen's high end is nothing to complain about, while trying to keep the overall cost down.

The US version has a number of bugs, but nothing that significant except for like maybe 2 places in the game where what you see is a fucked up map.

I wanna get a 2 GB, but my dad says they're too expensive. How much in actuality do they cost? Because like I said, my dad keeps saying he'll buy a replacement everytime he has to fiddle with my computer, but he never does. By the way, my dad also says that there's two of his acclaimed "memory sticks" in my computer. Seeing as how we've had it for a long time, I'm inclined to believe him, but is that possible?

Define "expensive". If the price of the 4GB (a pair of 2GB sticks) of performance DDR2-800 costed me $80 (accidentally got the Tracer version of the Crucial Ballistix varient, but that's another story, I buy retail though...) and the Non-Tracer version is like $59 online (link - http://www.crucial.com/store/partspecs.aspx?IMODULE=BL2KIT25664AA80A ), then most certainly you can afford to fill all 4 slots with dirt cheap value DDR.

http://www.crucial.com/store/partspecs.aspx?IMODULE=CT2KIT6464Z40B - 1GB (a pair of 512MB sticks) for $50

If $50 is expensive, then  :wtf:

I would still suggest you run your mobo/system through a mem configurator (Crucial has one, other memory supplying websites have them) just in case you are unsure.

You don't need 2GB... just having 1GB would be mighty helpful (with the 256MB you already have).

For a thought, you can certainly goto a local retail comp store (that is not Best Buy) and buy 1 stick of 512MB DDR400 at about $24 retail (PNY is pretty generic).

On the subject of RAM, I'm debating whether to try upgrading past 2GB or not. According to NewEgg, when I bought this computer, my motherboard only supports up to 2x 1GB. I was looking at the manual for said motherboard earlier though, and that claims it supports up to 2x 8GB. I'm running the 32-bit version of Vista on a 32-bit processor here so there's little reason to go beyond 4GB now, but it's something to consider in the future rather than building a new PC (which was my plan once I had the money and the need for something more powerful). My question is, should NewEgg happen to be right and the manual wrong about this, will there be any ill effects to the board or the RAM itself? I want to be able to return RAM if it doesn't work.

Once you hit 4GB with a non-64-bit OS, you hit the wall, and "lose some of it"... that assumes you don't mind (I don't at the moment).

I would suggest you check your mobo's website and/or mobo's manual (usually downloadable) and/or a memory vendor's website. They generally list the fastest speed and sizes your mobo can support.

AFAIK, having bigger sticks of RAM for systems that don't/can't use it will "only read" a smaller size and the lesser chance of things blowing up in your face.

I'm retarded, so I couldn't figure out what text I needed to reproduce. So, here's an image.

Are you using onboard video? The RAM you have seems rather low anyways. You should really really get more RAM (I'd say you're system should be able to run 1GB or 2GB at most.

Edit: Never mind, only 8MB seems to be lost on that.

I used to run Win2k on 512MB and later on 1GB... seeing you run on 256MB on XP makes me cringe.

I forget if JCE kept the FF4-type drops from the dolls, since they are the prime source of Blink in the original game.
