The first wolfenstein when I was a little kid.

Your problem sounds very similar to a guy that comes into my gas station every few nights.

He swapped out an 8800Ultra for a 9800GX2 to play Crysis.

Anyway just follow what the man above me posted.

Also Corsair Dominator RAM is a bit pricey but, has a HUGE performance gain versus 667.

And if you ARE the same guy who talks to me about it just ask me for a Vista X64 I can loan you a disk.

Oh, one more thing check out the Vista tweak guide it may help out a fair deal.

See topic.

Mediocre half wit RPGs and a flood of fancy FPS games are all thats left.

Sure, Starcraft 2 is coming out but, would you pay 1200 bucks to upgrade your computer for one game that might be good?

Crysis is a mediocre FPS with great graphics.

Other than that it's just all MMOs.

RIP PC gaming.

Just depressing when i'm sitting here playing Planescape: Torment, Fallout 2, Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale etc. etc. when I have a damn good PC.

I would play the Witcher but, the blocky graphics are just horrible. ( Due to a bug that I can't resolve even after a few weeks of working on it )

I know exactly what it is.

Magnetism.

Deguass your TV

Degaussing a TV clears electromagnetic buildup from the screen. Although it is hardly ever necessary, degaussing can sometimes slightly improve picture quality.
Steps

1. Simply turn the TV off and turn it back on. Most modern TV's degauss themselves automatically each time they are powered on. When the TV is turned on, you should hear a distinctive "dwoing" sound. If you hear no sound when you turn the unit on, it may not degauss itself automatically. If that is the case, proceed to the next step.
Bulk Tape Eraser Method

The optimal tool to use, if and only if your TV does not have a built-in degauss function is a bulk tape eraser. This also uses a strong electromagnet that varies the magnetic field 60 times per second.

1. Hold the tape eraser about 12 inches away from the screen. Switch it on.
2. Approach the screen slowly, swinging the eraser around in a circle over the screen, until you see the field distortion.
3. Move the eraser away from the screen until you no longer see the distortion lines, then turn it off.


Soldering Gun Method

1. Hold the soldering gun to that the rear of the case is toward the screen (the tip is facing away from the screen at a 90 degree angle)
2. Place the gun in the center of the screen and turn it on, keeping it near but not touching the screen (to prevent scratching)
3. Slowly move it to the top edge (or any edge), then slowly around the outer part of the screen (but still in front of the glass) until you return to the top (or the edge you moved out to), again slowly return the gun to the center of the screen.
4. Keeping the gun on, slowly pull it straight away from the monitor until there is no more distortion visible (usually 3-4 feet), then turn the gun off.

Rigged Drill Method

1. Get a magnet and tape it to the end of a high RPM drill and make sure it is held in place very tightly, use Duct or packing tape
2. Hold the rigged drill next to the spot to be fixed, make sure it is about 2-3 cm away from the screen
3. Now pull the trigger an you'll see the screen blur fast, this is normal so do not worry
4. Whilst the drill is running, slowly pull away from the screen and you may see it is fixed
5. This process may need to be repeated due to magnet strength and drill speed but it will work
6. Due to physics the fast, random turning of the magnet/s will fix the screen's colors

The single player is extremely weak.

Haven't tried the multiplayer yet but, to be honest I really don't care too.
