Frogboy has been very forums active since 1.1v... I wonder how much sleep he's lost [e digicons]:frogboy:[/e]

The french version of 1.1 will come out later. Thats why you can't connect to ICO right now. [e digicons]:'([/e]

You don't have to update the game FYI. Even then you have to run impusle for all of 5 minutes while the patch is installing. Whats the big deal.

People obviously have settings or routers that Stardock didn't or can't test (they can't test every router and every computer and EVERYTHING with Impulse). I'm running on a 5 year old computer and I have 0 problems with it. Stop blaming Impulse. It's also very new (where as steam has been around since the HL2 beta I believe)

I'm paying a bit more for a 512 MB 4870 this January [e digicons]:D[/e]

Yeah make sure you have Service pack 2, and that you meet the requirements lol...

I've never seen a IC or stardockian use 1337 before [e digicons]8C[/e]

When I said the 850 W I meant the Zalman 850W. So with the 850W its $1077.92 (with the 650W it's 1007.92, shipping is $23 either way), honeslty, if I don't have that by Xmas but if I'm like $70 or so short, I'll wait a week to earn the money at work. It's better than having to have to pay for a new card and $150 for a PSU in two years. And does BIOS come with the part (like with the drivers)?

I've never heard of Geeks.com, and I know Newegg is a trusted site (they do had DoAs but they have an awesome return policy). I'll look into it though [e digicons]:grin:[/e] Anyways Sole like I said in the EDIT on my last post on the first page if I have the extra cash I'll get the 850 W (or was it 800? :P). So that means I would have a wide margin for one card and OCing (from what I can tell) and be fine when I want a new card at some point. And how easy is OCing? Can

I would highly suggest (for beginners): Pick a faction. Stick with them for the first few games Lock teams. This way you won't have to deal with diplomacy Make all AI easy, and if you are still having a hard time, give yourself more allies than you have enemies.

Well with the GIG mobo, 8 GBs of the RAM you suggested, and the coolmaster (can I OC with the one card? and where is this 3.5 GHz processor...), its $1082.91 (before shippin and rebates). Honeslty, I would rather buy it with 4 GBs, make sure it all works (no DoAs or anything), buy some games and wait a month or two. Then buy the extra 4 GBs. If I don't get the extra RAM, it's cheaper (and appearently better, but less wattage on the PSU) than the build I have in my first post.

Well what wattage should I have for 2 4870s? If this gets over $1100 (perfreably not over $1050, w/o shipping + rebates) I'll stick with 1 for awhile (So it won't be able to play games in 2010/11 on highest settings...). And yes I want 8 GBs in the first few months (like 6). Oh and right now (with the coolmaster, the mobo suggested above, and the suggested RAM and 4870) it's $1012 before rebates and shipping. I can't add the 4870 to my cart

Just making a short post for now but the PSU I linked was the PSU you linked in your first post. And is that RAM going to give a noticable performance boost over the ram I have picked out? Also, care to pick out a Gigabyte mother board that would work with those parts? And I'm pretty much sure that I'll be getting the 4870 512 MB, unless the 1 - 2 GB models drop massivley in price in the next month [e digicons]X|[/e]

I spose I could get the 4850, and get a second one later. Problem is, should I get the 512 MB HIS or the 1 GB Sapphire , since I will be playing at 1080p, or should I just spend the $50 bucks (more than the Sapphire) and get the 4870 and get a second one later (as in much, and is that card too big to have 2 on that mobo since the fan takes

So consulting to alteast one person so far, I won't hit 500W so the coolmaster is better. So now with rebates and shipping it's under $1000, and with just shipping its $1010 (if I don't get the rebates) [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e]

[quote who="kryo" reply="13" id="1941974"] My budget was around $1000, and I went over by $3 Don't forget shipping.[/quote] Well including shipping and rebates I went over $15, but I'm sure I can con my parents to pay another $35 for shipping. So the big suggestion seems to be a different PSU (just because it isn't a popular brand? It seems to have good reviews). I'll look into it. And Sole, I was originally going to get the 4850 but I talked

Anyway, first here is a [tentative] list of parts I would get. Video Card Mother board Processor PSU <a href="h

You sir, need to learn how to use punctuation. And I think the debate is not that Star Wars sucks, but that EaW sucked (overall, if you've read the whole "debate" most people agree that Space Combat in it was ok, but overall the game sucked).

[e digicons]:'([/e] Try uninstalling sins and going back to the non beta version until 1.1 final

Sucks I have to wait till January to play (new computer then yay!) [e digicons]:'([/e]

[quote]Since it was pulled less than 72 hours before it was to be put on Impulse with no warning it should be ready to go.[/quote] Try a week [e digicons]X|[/e]

[quote who="lordkosc" reply="6" id="1936991"]well at least i will be in the beta pre-orders from stardock[/quote] OMG KOSC!!?!?!??!?!

Been posted here before [e digicons]X|[/e]

[quote]Anyways I dont have any serial number. Or the Your order number is: is the serial number?[/quote] Read annatar's post a bit more closely [quote]... when there is something for you to download... happens you will get a second email with your serial # and it will automatically become registered to your Impulse account.[/quote] So, since it's an expansion you must have Sins, and you will not be charged for Entrenchment u
