No, its easy as pie. It has an .exe and auto installs over a fresh 1.4b.

Okay, downloading as we speek!:up: Let's see why everybody's so jolly 'bout this mod.......

I did some research on the Amd vs Intel chip. I am a long time Amd user and have had real good luck with there chips. The give away for me was reviews of Amd duel core that beat the Intel chips. However, they ran them against the p4 chips not against the intel duos.

The intel chips used less power, as well. So a cooler running system over all.

Both the 2.4Hz chips were pretty much the same price. sooooo.....(see previos post)

As far as I can tell they are BOTH great chips so it was a close call.

no flame job intended.:cool:

Latest reviews show the Conroe duos beating AMD hands down.

Kind of disappointing as I bought a FX-62 dual core based system in September.....I'd probably go for the top Conroe now,

Having said that, however, have to accept that pretty much as soon as you buy something, there's something better available. It's not as though my system is poor!!

Athlon FX-62 dual core with 2Gb on board cache (2 x 1Gb)
WD Raptor 74Gb HD @ 10,000rpm
2Gb DDR2 @ 667 (2 x 1Gb)
Ati RADEON X 1950 XTX, 512Mb GDDR4
Samsung 204B 20.1" LCD, 1600 x 1200, 5ms.

and CROSSFIRE is possible too!!
 

YES, it's true, CROSSFIRE can be enabled on mobo's with the P965 and 975X chipsets, here's a link, CHECK IT OUT.

Hate to be a downer but you upgraded at the worst possible time Biggles. Nvidia just released their DX10 card, the 8800 GTX and Windows Vista is right around the corner, bringing with it DX10. Being that SHIV is coming out next spring, it will probably have some kind of DX10 update, after or even when it's released. You should have waited one or two more months...

Boo-hoo, still recovering from Biggles stuff being better than mine !
I would like Santa to come down my Chimney with a Conroe and a 7950 rig and now there's an 8 series out ?! I can't keep up with this advancement.

P.S. Prefer Intel over AMD .. my AMD sounded like an hair-drier ALL the time whereas I can hardly hear this Intel [Bliss:yep: !].

:88) :dead:

You know, CPU´s don´t make any sound, it´s the CPU-fan that does... :D ;) I´ve heard loud AMD-based PC´s and loud Intel-based PC´s. Get a decent cooling solution and you won´t hardly hear anything.

Has this turned into an argument about the best kind of computer???:hmm:

ANyway, U-46 has returned to base after it's second patrol. Raided Scapa Flow. Destroyed HMS. Revenge:rotfl: :arrgh!: :up: :yep: for the fist time!

:rotfl: :rotfl: First, you have a better Computer than me; Second, you want a Medal for going into Scapa Flow ?! You're the limit you are !:rotfl:

Never been in there before........:nope:

Kul för dig!

"Fun for you" in swedish.

The best times is when you have a brand spanking new computer. You can play anything and everything will run great. I bet Medieval 2 will rock! Sadly my comp wont run it...:cry:

I only have a P4 3ghz, 1,5 gig RAM, Geforce 7600GS. Won't get you long these days.

Synd för dig:down:

(poor you in swedish:up: )

Medieval 2:Total War is great! But I don't like it that you have to begin the campaign at 1080. I want to begin a bit later so I can attack South America:arrgh!:

Anyway, I'm obviously very happy for this comp., even BF2 runs perfectly! Something I've only dreamed of this far.

FYI, I´ve moved the posts about MTW2 to the MTW2 thread;

Biggles, you're such a Stormtro .. oops, a 'Supertrooper' for raiding Scapa Flow and as far as the Computer thing goes.. well, .. 'The Winner takes it all'.
Er.. your first name isn't 'Fernando' is it ?:rotfl:
