Now that I've re-done my system and high resource games (resource HOGS really) like Q3 and UT, I'd like some new added map packs (preferably packs vs individual) for Q3 as I've played through the originals more than enough times.
Anyone have favorites here (out of the zillions online)?

Or here http://www.planetunreal.com/chaotic/

I too would guess refresh rate, slow FPS as I've noticed that if the resolution is set too high, slowing the game down one can get feeling a bit wierd.

Without spending hours searching the net (OK, lazy yes :) ), are any of the following games actually coming out in the NEAR future or are we just dreaming: Quake4 (yeah, why not?, can't get enough Quake can we?) UT2 (THAT would be cool :) ) No, I'm not going to ask about Duke Nukem4ever again :( . I...

Before I try it, can someone here tell me anything about it? Shooter (Alice?)??? or what?

I use to have the same problems until I upgraded the PC (mobo, cpu, ram) which ended up in formatting my HD and re-installing everything on my primary HD (not my secondary however). I tryed moving my SB Live value card to all the other PCI slots (which is a possible cause). You might want to try run...

It's store bought cable and the same laptop did the same thing before when it used a different NIC and BNC. It's at "full power" with its max of 32mb ram and I think it's what you suggested about it being busy caching memory to the swap file as I've seen it have problems trying to access f...

Well, it looks like the Klipsch ProMedia v.2-400 is a winner from the looks of things here. Not unaffordable either.
Thanks

Lots of info SBP, thanks. So far after looking at the Anands article, I've tryed increasing the memory (only) to 393 (from 333 default) and that's about as high as it'll go before I see my background getting wierd (red streaky lines, etc). The core speed setting doesn't do much from their results. I...

I once asked this over a year ago but didn't decide to buy better speakers then so I'm now once again considering a 4-5 speaker setup (with sub) that'll sound great short of piping it through a home stereo system which would probably sound best but cost alot more. Any opinions, suggestions on what's...

I finally found some of this stuff last night: 'Samual Adams Cherry wheat' and I must say that it's very tasty indeed! . Can't wait to drink more tonight, mmmmmmmmmmmm!

Heck, there's definately uglier guys where I work. Some would truely scare you if you ever saw them in a dark alley.

17" and 19" monitors are fairly cheap now IMHO (especially 17") compared to what they were 3 yrs ago when I bought my 19" Viewsonic G790 (which I still like alot). Someday when I'm feeling rich again I'll get a 21" or larger.

The server runs Win98SE with ICS properly setup and one of my two client PCs always connects online without problems. This setup is using one cable modem to the server on one NIC with another NIC for the switch to the other 2 clients. My other client PC (which is an older 133mhz laptop) occasionally...
