It's not easy finding a Caspian Border server that isn't full, but it's worth the wait. I had to take a few screenshots of epic graphics:

and a mortar which apparently is not included in the beta

Pretty accurate review in my opinion.

Just read through the bf3 beta FAQ and one of them is:

"WILL MY STATS CARRY OVER FROM THE BETA TO THE FINAL GAME?

NO. WE ARE STILL FINE TUNING THE RANKING SYSTEM AND WE DON’T WANT TO GIVE BETA PLAYERS AN UNFAIR ADVANTAGE WHEN BATTLEFIELD 3 LAUNCHES. You will keep your soldier name, though."

To me, that means if you don't like your shitty origin name, make sure you have them change it for you now or you'll be stuck with it when the real deal comes out.

Sounds good. Let us know how she works.

Quote from "icomrade";p="11057"

running windows 8, it's fairly boring like that game call of duty.

I don't think the purpose of an OS is to be exciting.

I think Ripley already posted this, but it's even funnier when commentated by the cynical brit lol

killer voice acting

ok then I will too

...with claymore

Alright you got my vote kiddo but you gotta use nOSF.

If you're in a hurry and the duct tape route is really what you're interested in, then I think this one will do and it's $20 lol (plus $5 shipping) http://www.evga.com/products/enlarge.asp?pn=112-CK-NF70-RX&I=1

Looks like it has a single pci-e x16 slot for one of your 5850's and it says it supports Core 2 quads :wink: the only problem could be the lack of ram slots. If you have 1GB modules, then 2GB total might not be enough. If you currently have 2GB modules, then 4GB total is all you need for gaming and you'll be golden.

LOGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNN lol

that happened to me once...i think i came back later and it randomly started working :wink:

Sounds like he just wants a cheap mobo to keep him going on his current hardware for another year or so. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the striker extreme was a rather high-end board with nvidia's 680i chipset. If you didn't have any problems with it, maybe you want to consider another mobo with an nvidia chipset from EVGA's B-stock page...they only come with a 30 day warranty, but they shouldn't be any less reliable and they're dirt cheap. I was looking at this board a few weeks ago http://www.evga.com/products/enlarge.asp?pn=113-YW-E115-RX&I=1 but I ended up building a new machine instead. You might not be able to get extreme overclocks or SLI/crossfire support, but for $40 shipped you can keep your current memory and processor...should hold you over until you're ready to pull the trigger on a new machine in the future.

EDIT: ok it looks like they just ran out of that mobo but here's a link to EVGA's B-stock page...if you're interested, you can have them notify you when it's available http://www.evga.com/products/prodlist.asp?switch=20

p.s. I don't actually own an EVGA mobo, but I can vouch for their support...easily the best

Striker Extreme...that's a socket 775 board? Do you plan on replacing the just the mobo or are you gonna go 1155?

lol Hattori Hanzo

On the stats page it shows the M60 as my #1 weapon, which is wrong

i would need a sig with a blade and my stab count

You oughta have a 3 year warranty on that board...I know you said your computer is over 3 years old, just thought I'd mention it in case there's some possibility it's under warranty.

Good luck, hope you get her running soon.

The meat is sketchy? I'm more impelled to raise an eyebrow about the male companion part...lol jk...and stay away from the crocs because I want to hear your stories when you come back.
