  1. Been using AVG and Adaware for as long as I remember. I tried Kaspersky for a couple months but went back to AVG again.
  2. It's based from Serious Sam.
  3. I enjoyed playing Killing Floor and Napalm with you Suri. Good luck with everything. Now we need a BD to take on our Henda role.
  4. I love Oscar "Bald" Hernandez.

  5. yeah I was searching up posts in special numbers (666,1337,69,007) and I found that. I showed it to jen and she was like "WTF andre!?" :p

  6. Relapse

    I personally thought 3 A.M was pretty fucked up out of all the weird up songs he's made (Kim, Ass Like That, Without Me). I like it when he makes diss tracks.
  7. I'm pretty sure you contradicted yourself at your first paragraph. Look at the wattage usage of the 8800 vs the GTX 280. With your logic you're saying that a GTX 280 needs only a couple more Amperes to run. But look at the wattage usage under load. That chart doesn't prove anything. It's just proving my point that a GTX 260 needs more than a 27a. I can find many charts with different numbers with this for example. Also, it's not my conversion. It's a mathematical conversion of amperes to volts to watts vice versa. I was using it to find the PSU recommendations through amperes and volts. Not PSU sizes. I don't think finding the Watts for already marked PSUs is very useful. P.S: That facepalm wasn't needed. It was an educational opinion, and my thread hijack picture is true. Look what's happening now? To be honest. We can keep this going, but in the end we're both right on either side and both wrong at the same time.
  8. I wasn't looking at a random box or company statistics. I've always said how overblown power need requirements are put out (you can find many threads with me saying that) I was talking about self experience and experiences of friends. I'm pretty sure a GTX 280 won't be merciful. He could probably run a GTX 280 at rest with a cheap PSU, but under load in games like Crysis or CSS (Source Engine = Resource hog) he won't last that much. I guess I exaggerated about the power needs though. Maybe it should be good with a 400-450W PSU. But that means he would need a 37 ampere with a 12v rail. A 280 requires about 30+ (guessing 35-40) amperes. A 260 probably needs a little less. If you look at the technical conversions then you're looking at [W (550) / V ( 12) = 45 (A)]. Even with the recommended you would have [W (500) / V (12) = 41 (A)]. If you're looking at 450W then you're looking at [W (450) / V (12) = A (37)]. Then to a 400 that woudl be [W (400) / V (12) = 33 (A)]. If you're saying that a GTX 260 can run with 27a and a 12V rail I'm thinking that's not a very high end computer. [27 (A) x V(12) = 324 (W)]. I don't know anybody running a GTX 260 with a 350 W PSU. That's overkill. A 8800 GTS only needs about 25 amperes on a 12v Rail. That's a 2 ampere difference from a GTX 260 power need according to you. I'm pretty confused here. The performance difference between the two series is unmeasured.
  9. Nou !!!!!!!!!!

  10. I'm the fish whore!!

  11. I can Zero001 that post too easily.
  12. It has a dancy/epic feeling to it. It's pretty good actually.
  13. *steals :-]'s fish.

  14. The only thing Google Chrome is lacking in comparison is extensions and memory usage. I'm pretty sure Safari and Opera are catching up (if not ahead), but IE and Mozilla are still behind.
  15. If you're going to go with a GTX 260 or 280, it's recommended you have no less than a 550W PSU. Think twice before you choose one. If you want to save more power, give your case a little bit more room, and save some money so you can get some headphones/headsets then go for the 9800. Compared to a GTX 260 and 280 you're looking at minimum of a 10-20 FPS difference.
  16. PAAAAAAAAAAANDA YOU'RE ALIVE!!!!!
