I'll say it again, Killer Instinct!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is an old thread but I thought I should bring it up again. Even as today, the same point is true. Next-gen consoles still fall short of computers. The graphics of the 360 and PS3 are really impressive but compared to the upcoming pc title of Crysis, Pc's still win. Remember, as I said before, pc's are what make consoles exists. If computers were never invented, consoles wouldn't be either. Right now, I'm running a 1998 Gateway Pentium II computer that I've experimented with ever since I've received it back in 1998. When I first got it, I didn't know anything about computers. Back then, I was still in middle school. Now with all the lessons I've learned from just playing around with the settings and wanting to max the potential of this pc, I'm a pc guru. Now I actually build pc rigs without stepping 1 inch into a technical school. What I can do with computers, companies actually pay professionals to do paying good money. If you want to learn these same skills, understand its not hard to learn. You just have to learn the basics and go from there. You'll see, compared to consoles, it'll pay off. I will accept any/all criticism anybody has to dash out. This is my opinion but if you share my ideas, please post to maybe influence the people that will disagree with me. Thank you 

Hello all. This is a very nice thread. Thanks for all the advice and technical experience everyone here has to share. I would like to submit some questions.

I've been reading all of the previous questions and answers everyone has submitted and I noticed that some individuals are having problems with motherboard/Nvidia problems. Sounds like people would have to buy a different motherboard and a ATI card for their solution. Is it because Nvidia hasn't released the appropiate drivers yet? Does SLI work for the new OS? Would someone please explain to me what the deal is with that problem? Hopefully I've provided enough information and hopefully you are aware of this problem to answer it.

What is the deal with sound cards? I read with some individuals had problems saying that its not worth it to buy sound cards because they just don't plain work with this new OS. (I'm pointing out in particular Creative X-Fi cards) I really want the X-Fi Sound Blaster Elite Pro card but if its really useless for this new OS, I won't buy it. Is this another driver problem?

My last question is about memory. I have the ASUS Striker Extreme motherboard and I was going to get the Corsair 2GB (PC2 8888) kit. Whats this I've been reading about where the OS locks out at 2GB? I know nothing about this problem so every/any advice would be truly helpful.

Thanks for this thread again!!!

Also if you want me to further elaborate my questions so you could provide a more accurate answer, I'm willing to do so

[QUOTE="MtTheNothingtM"]Pc gaming have just now hit its mark on now having games that actually can look, sound, and feel as though its worth the time to put down a gaming console.Herrick

This remark makes you sound like you have just discovered PC Games, mang.

What you said might of been true only if that was the only line in the whole forum. But please believe that if I say " Pc gaming have just now hit its mark on now having games that actually can look, sound, and feel as though its worth the time to put down a gaming console" then I have to have been around long enough to know and compare recent and past videogames to say such a statement. And if you really think about, am I wrong? Current videogames actually do pose a challenge to next gen consoles. Without going into the mobo jumbo such as specs, controllers, resolution, blah blah blah; if you truly run a game like Call of Duty2 or FEAR at its highest settings without any failure then you are ahead of the xbox360 hardware.

You couldn't be more wrong. PC is the primary gaming machine. Consoles are turning into PC's. Online multiplayer has been around since what, 1994, and consoles just got it in 2001.

I have no clue on what side you think I am, pc or console. But i'll tell you right now that I'm on the PC side. I was just explaining how theres a debate between consoles and PC. Whether or not multiplayer has been around, which is more popular in the gaming industry? PC or the new next-gen gaming consoles?
