Okay, everytime I start playing a game on my computer, I get a bunch of artifacts about 10-20 seconds into the game. If I don't quit the game quickly, my computer will freeze and I have to reboot.

I have an 2.4ghz P4 processor, 6600GT AGP at stock clock speeds, 1 optical drive, 1 hdd, and a pos 220w Compaq psu. This is the setup I have been using for the past year and a half and I have had no problems up until a few days ago. The core temps on the 6600GT only get into the high 60's to low 70's when I try to play a game and in the mid 50's at idle. I am guessing that my psu is the problem, but I am not sure. Any help would be appreciated.

Wait... How do you get it to run at 1440x900? I changed the resolution in the My Documents folder and player profiles, but everytime I get into the game, it kicks me to the desktop. I see that you changed it at "C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\BF2.exe" but I can't find where that BF2.exe part is on my computer. Please help!

I agree. Virtual Boy is Nintendo's most disappointing system. N64 was in no way a disappointment.

I had the same problem on dvd's with my video card. All I had to do was change the drivers and everything worked great.

Luckily, YES, it will fit in that case. I helped my friend build his computer with that case and gfx card. We had to take out the screwless slot holder and the hdd cage when installing, and we had to screw the card in. The end of the video will be about 1mm away from the hdd cage after it is dropped back in. (Yes, one milimeter) Its almost like the card was designed to just barely fit that case.

So far, I am not seeing Blacksite: Area 51 being at the top of the visual rack. There were a lot of low rez textures and slowdown. Maybe because it is an old build as someone said? The destructable pillars were cool though so I hope they add more destructability in the final release.

[QUOTE="TugboatTheGreat"][QUOTE="frost_mourne13"]

Have fun

PS: can your PSU handle a x1950xt?

Wesker776

Rosewill RP550-2 ATX 2.01 550W Power Supply

Rosewill? Damn you're taking a huge risk there!

But yes, it should be able to handle it (not in CrossFire though).

Also, you should know that ATi dominated the later part of the DX9 generation. Heck, the X1900 XTX beats the 7900GTX, even though its older than the 7900GTX.

Well not according to Tom'shardware 2007 GPU charts. Which I don't understand since I usually see the 1900XTX having the higher score. It's all about the price/performance sweetspot which Nvidia usually takes the cake for.
