A 9600XT is the best I can afford right now. Got it for $70 (including shipping) so it was a bargain. Its not the best but anything is better than my Dell with its ancient 9000. Once I get the money Ill be upgrading to a X850XT. Or actually I might get the X800GT since they are only around $150 and have either the X800XT or X850XT core. If Im lucky I could unlock to whichever one I happen to get.
Dont worry about the cooling m0p, I got that monsterous block of copper known as the Tower112.

1GB of PC4000 RAM, 3.2GHz P4 540J that will be overclocked to around 4GHz if all goes well.
Ya its only a 9600XT but its a major leap from a 9000. Rest of my build comes next week. Im so excited about it.
Ill finally be able to run HL2 on high 
Man $3.00 a gallon today. $25 only got me half a tank when it used to get me a full tank.
If you think that were gonna run out of oil soon its not actually the case. The state of Colorado alone is sitting on top of more oil than the entire Middle East. Well over a trillion barrels. Only problem is that it is in a form called oil shale, which is more difficult to extract. But now that oil prices are going up they are researching how to extract it and hopefully find a cheap way to do it. Too bad our politicians are too dumb to realize this.
Its cause those damn Sweeds are all so tall. Everyone in their country is 6' (2m) or taller. [/stereotype]
A long time ago in a galaxy far away, 7 years ago at the age of 13, I got Half-Life. Worldcraft, as it was called many many ages ago, came with HL on the CD. I tried making a few maps, they sucked, I found it confusing. I made maps on and off in the years following. At which point I got CS and decided I wanted to make multiplayer maps. That is when I joined this site.
Hes 10 I believe.
He is the youngest member on the site 
I got that game 6 years ago. Dont play it that much anymore but its still a good game.
My BMI is 20.1. Im normal weight but still on the skinny side.
I never would have thought they were the same. 
Seriously?
Onslaught got banned? For what?
Bill Clinton was once the incumbent president. 
Im from that country that had two retarded people running for president so the incumbent retarded guy ended up getting re-elected.
why am i on there?I just chose people at random. Nothing against you.
I like you hrny, your kool
Youre just mad cause you were on the banning poll.
BTW I did it in MS Paint so dont expect it to be pretty. Saved it in PNG format, though.

Another one:
Maybe one day well finally get a .com domain.
By all means. Hack that site and put the gay stuff in!
Good Idea. This wasnt intended to be a humor thread.
And dont you guys go around thinking all America is fat. Colorado is the skinniest state in the US with only about 14% of people overweight. Just states like Alabama (lots of fat rednecks and swamp hicks) that throw off the statistics.

Or under all those folds of fat if your a fat person. Fat people probably store food under their fat folds.

Ya fat people are all dumb cause the fat gets into their head and kills off all the brain cells.
Actually Elon, the US gives more money to charitible causes than any other nation. Its just these fat people are too lazy and dont want help.
Funny thing is theres no fat guys on this site
At least I dont think there are...

Im about 140lbs at 5'10" so Im slightly underweight for my height. No matter how much I eat I never gain a pound. Only way that I can put on any weight is to work out and gain some muscle. But I dont that have much muscle either :
But seriously fat people annoy the hell out of me. Like today I was shopping for some clothes and all the shorts were like L, XL, XXL and XXXL. They were all for fat people of different fatness! I was lucky enough to find an M size hidden in there.

I just think its very rude and offensive. I think burning a flag of any country shows a lot of disrespect. Now you could show a burning picture of Bush and I woulndt care.
The US flag does not represent the government. It represents us a people. It represents the people who have died defending this nation. It is a symbol of the freedom we have fought to protect, even against ourselves (Civil War).
We are not all warmongering rednecks, even if our president is. Dont judge our nation by our leaders. Politics is full of greed and corruption in any society.
Just show a little respect. A burning flag, to me, is a symbol of hatred.

What really scary is that Einstien predicted all of this more than 70 years ago 
I think Seventh needs to mature a little. I find that picture to be very offensive. You shouldnt take a stand for peace and at the same time promote hatred and violence. That is what we call a hypocrite.
I see Seventh unfit to be a mod since he is supposed to keep such radicalism out of the forums, especially since this a mapping forum.

Haha how did I know this was gonna turn into a gun control debate 
Well it is a $70 (US) watch
Why not buy an RPG! sarcastic -Cause only arabs use RPGs
BTW the M-4 is not mine, I just got to shoot it.
Yes, my dads a cop.

The M-4 is real, police issue. And as long as you hold the gun correctly then its not gonna fly up and hit you in the face.
Target ammo is pretty cheap. And its not really wasting it since target ammo is made for, well, targets.
how was the recoil on the rifle?The M-4 is pretty heavy so it absorbs most of the recoil. The scoped rifle (forgot the model) had a moderate recoil, but was still pretty easy to control. Nothing compared to the recoil of a 12-gauge magnum shotgun. Thatll bruise you if you dont hold it right.
I also got to shoot a .45 cal Ruger handgun, a .40 cal Glock, two .22 cal pistols, a .44 magnum revolver and a .357 magnun revolver (like the one in HL1 and HL2) and even a Civil War era Colt Navy Revolver.
Overall I liked the revolvers and the M-4 the best.
Nice! But I dont think people should have access to fire weapons. For example, HrnyGoat could have gone berserk, killing the person next to him !! nervous -The guy next to me is the range safety officer. He makes sure that kind of stuff doesnt happen
What was in the target you were shooting at? Combine troops would be a nice target there... mmm
And I was just shooting at paper targets. Nothing special.
If that water becomes the slightest amount contaminated though...
You wouldnt want to stick your comp in water, no matter how pure it is. I have seen some people stick there entire PC in a tank of oil though. Still, it didnt cool all that well.
But seriously, m0p is right about the Pentium M. Ive seen the benchmarks for them and they dominate any other processor in gaming benchmarks. An $800 Pentium M can kick a $1,000+ FX-57 ass in gaming benchmarks. And you can complain that theres no dual PCIe, but the R520 (X900 series) will supposedly outperform two 7800GTX's in SLI - and its going to be availible for AGP. Why else has ATI taken so long on it and been so secretive about it? A Pentium M plus an X900/950XT PE will be unstoppable in games.
- Reduce maximum avatar size to something sensible;Nooo! Thats what I love about this site is the large avatars! Maybe have an option in the user preferences to scale the avatars down if they are above a certain size? That way we can keep our avs and people who dont like the size can have them scaled down. I have a fairly good sized screen and the the avs look just fine to me.
Bring back the green thread icons!I want them back too. Maybe some radioactive blue too
It is a pretty nice mouse for documents, photos, etc. But it probably isnt the best for gaming.
Can a mod please give MJ a good hard whack with the banstick?
lol that is pretty damn funny
what's a VOR?(V-something) Omnidirectional Radio. Its used by planes to navigate, find speeds, position and altitude. Its really only used by older planes and as a backup system, GPS is more commonly used nowadays.
That pig is sexy
Its BrattyLord 2.0! Nice futuristic-looking av.
