    lol well! the supergroup is Myself, wife and two friends and we have been playing for about 6 months now. I just got into base building myself and am working on the first real overhauls, drew up the concept, asked a lot of advice and a few of the building pros have swung in to help and critque! I am close to being finished with the base for now BUT am running very low on prestige for adding water effects and really decor it nicely. ><

    So honestly what ever you can spare for matching would be great.
  2. Gratz Sayaki!!
    and thanks again for all your help on Vic
    Cyrax
  3. I am in desperate need for Prestige on Blueside Vic, if you run this in the future.

When you zone, all those textures should come out of memory, but not all of it does. It happens everywhere.

    The problem is twofold:

    1. A longstanding memory leak that's either minor or major at times. Always has been a memory leak, it's just a question of how much; and,

    2. /unloadgfx is not doing what it used to do; which is what a lot of us would rely on so as to avoid (or put off) memory leak crashes.
    I have noticed this and Crashed from a memory leak in the last mish of the Sister Psyche just the other week, the memory hit 1.6 and the client went boom.

    Ravenous33, we'll be looking for you on Sunday. I'll probably be on Ether Shock, my Peacebringer. Who will you be bringing?
    Thanks! though not sure, taking an unplanned road trip from Chicago to Cleveland and about to hit the road.
    Long story short my job gave me a promotion (dream promotion!!!) and I will be starting on the first. Soooo off apartment hunting I go with the wife on dbl xp weekend!

    Thanks!
    I personaly use the 7900 GS and it works wonders for me, but I would say even more so on Vista, get a second gig of ram ASAP! and well not sure if that power supply will be powerful enough to run either card. I would try to find at least a 400w or 450w
  11. I hate to say it but the remake for my favorite MMO Killed my love for the game...Poor Neocron, what did they do to you!!!!!!

One thing to remember about older Dell systems is that they used proprietary motherboards and power supplies, so you can't just go to the store and pick a better one.
    This is not true (with all due respect to you Wolf), the wife's computer is a dell dimension 4550, and I have tossed in two differnt power supplies in the past and all has been fine. One was an 1000W Ultra, just because her factory one had died and it was all I had laying around. About a month later I gutted a 350 watt out of a HP. The Old Day dells were great because you COULD upgrade them, however they used low end parts to ensure you could not upgrade them to much.
    As I said the Nvidia 6200 "should" work.

    Also, had down gradded her proc from the p4 2.26 to a celeron 1.6 and then up to a norwood 3.06, as well as swapped out the ram at least a few times. The old dells are pretty tough, now the old HP's oy!
  13. I doooo need Faathim and Justin, I hope I am free on Sunday

    I would say, how often do you use LRM? I hear it has a bit of a whicked activation time (much like sniper) Also take into consideration your global recharge and if you have hasten? I would try to get it in a power that has as close to 15 seconds as possible.
  15. Wonder if he is coming back?
  16. For now I can only DREAM about that much prestige >< Am looking forward to see how this progresses!

    The crashing still occurs, even in safe mode.

    I'm incredibly tempted to run out and buy a new video card to see if that's the problem.
    Couldnt hurt! I wish you luck

    I don't want to publish any numbers at the moment as they won't be accurate and I don't want to lead people on a wild goose chase.
    LOL no worries I am anxious to see how all of this progresss just for grins
  19. We dropped the Nvidia 6200 in my wifes machine which has 2 gigs of ram and an old norwood processor 3.06ghz and COH runs great, everything on high with no lag what so ever

    (note that this is on a fresh install of windows and nothing else installed but the game and the drivers needed)

    She has a 350watt power supply, but it should work fine with a 250 I would double check though

    Keep 'em coming.
    Any chance of getting a preveiw of what these 12,000 have dropped?
  21. Sorry to double post but Your Drivers are WAY out of date? I am guessing you prob had newer/updated drivers before your virus...looks like you went back to your first ones that are OLD!!! Update these and report back.

  22. please run Hijack This and post here
  23. Note to the OP; Make sure you have a powerful enough power supply to run that card. On the Newegg page it states at least a 450watt.

    Wife made that mistake before we got married.
