HMMM...

What are the odds that this will be a $599 priced video card? Since it's the top model, that is likely to be the price. I'll pass on this one. If I'm going to spend that kind of money on a video card to play games, it will be a Radeon HD 4870 X2.

only thing hello kitty did for the good of humanity was let it's brand name appear on underwear.nutcrackr

Yes indeed. WOMEN'S UNDERWEAR!:twisted:

I didn't get a Vista box for DX10. I got it because I wanted to tinker with Vista. Having been a long time DX9 gamer, when I started up the Crysis demo running at 1024X768 on medium, I was floored by the graphics. As a matter of fact, my character died multiple times due to my inability to focus on what I was supposed to be doing while marveling at the graphics. I tried the DX9 hack and couldn't get it to work on my system.

We all know that Microsoft is in bed with the hardware manufacturer's to sell systems, hardware, and their OS. Many of us didn't need to buy a new system every three years. XP was fine. Was there a specific conspiracy involving Crytek? Maybe so. Maybe not. Who can prove it? When I was looking for a new vid card to replace my integrated graphics solution, I was torn between saving money and getting a DX9 card or being able to play Crysis and getting a DX10 card. I opted for a low end DX10 card and it runs Crysis beautifully.

I didn't mean to start a flame war with my post. Getting back to my original question - so is Half Life 2 pretty much what I'm looking for as far as depth of the modding community?

It's not your fault. Flame wars are inevitable here

I would definatly get the orange box. All of those games have a dedicated community.

I would also get the original half life. (not halflife source) It has one of the most extensive mod community i have seen. Great mods for half life include Sven Co op and Natural Selection.

You may have talked me into re-installing the orginal Halflife... assuming it will run on Vista... That will be an interesting experiment....
