Unless, of course, you're a teacher.

I don't get it. TMN seems to never be able to max out my upload. ::::::::::..

Now that I've seen the picture, I remember it, but I don't remember who it was. I don't consider my username to be part of the post.

No, I never had milk, especially of the dancing variety, in my avatar or my sig. I am also fairly sure I have never incorporated milk products into any of my posts.

What? That wasn't me.

Eh, I've been lurking off and on.

Actually, it does. http://www.att.com/gen/general?pid=11523 Sorry, but it looks as though complaining about the price difference won't get you anywhere on this one.

Everybody is moving in today. I guess they ordered more bandwidth for the school year, because this connection is SCREAMIN' today. ::::::::::..

Yeah, now I wish I had something to download.

University of Central Arkansas, my new home. I got to move on campus before most people, so the network is practically traffic free for the time being. :::..

Okay, I had to use some of Newegg's combo deals to make this work. Scroll down to "combo deals" and find the combos I have listed. Video card Memory (X2) Processor (combo deal with motherboard) Motherboard (combo with processor) CD/DVD drive Case (combo with power supply) Power supply (combo with case) Hard drive $963.32 after rebates, includes shipping.

Sorry, I meant to post a case with a power supply. I couldn't find the one I found earlier, though. Here's one. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811121065 The whole cheap power supply thing might be true, but my 600W power supply cost me $49.99, and it's worked fine for over a year and a half. I wish I could find it, but Newegg doesn't carry it anymore.

Got it! Processor Motherboard Hard drive Case CD/DVD drive OS Memory Video card $649.12 after rebates. That includes shipping. EDIT: Oh, dang, do you need a monitor, too?

You're so funny.

You need PCI Express 2.0, though, right?

Ergh, sorry for the triple post, it actually was 60oC. Why does the "modify" button disappear? AGH!

Sorry, I posted some wrong info in there. On XP, with Halo running on those settings, plus overclock, my card reaches a max of 70oC, not 60.

Yeah, if you're getting the 8800 GTX instead of the ultra, I'd put that extra money towards a better processor. From what I've heard, the 4400+ X2 will bottleneck the 8800 GTX.

Ok, I discovered that it is either my processor or my memory that's making me shut down, although my video card causes problems, as well. I can't overclock my CPU/RAM at all on Vista without having my computer shut down. As far as my video card goes, when I run Halo on full settings with 16x AF and 1280 x 1024 resolution, and have my normal overclock on my card (from 450/660 to 538/732), my card doesn't even reach 60oC, and I hardly ever drop below 60 FPS (only if its 16 people on a small map with heavy weapons or something like that). On Vista, though, with the same overclock, running Halo with the exact same settings, I average probably 40 FPS and my video card reaches as high as 89oC. Would switching from Vista 64-bit to Vista 32-bit help? I already ordered a new case (with much better airflow) and a new heatsink and fan for my video card from Newegg, but I don't know if that's going to help enough.
