I can't believe nobody has mentioned the greatest crappy minigame of all time within a game:

Super Turbo Turkey Puncher 3

Also if you score 25000 points on it (it's in the kitchen if you missed it) you get an interesting email on your PDA.  

lol :D

Im looking to buy a case when i buy my computer. Here It says it has a screwless design. Should i get a case with screws or not.Pelicans

Screwless is great, I use the Raidmax Smilodon

It has great airflow and plenty of fans.

I have used this one a few times now. The only complaint I remotely have is that the newer GPU's do fit tight up against the drive bays, but they still fit, plus there is a fan that is directly on the graphics cards to keep them cooler.

No it will not work, not that way anyway.

Are you trying to just gain access to files on the drive, or trying to use it as a bootable drive??

This will make a difference, plus if the files on your XP drive were protected, it will be difficult to get those files off of it.

Basically when you properly install the two OS's, when you start the computer a "boot loader screen" will come up, basically an option screen that will ask you which OS you wish to run.

BUT

You need to install the OS's properly in a specific way for it to work. For me, a clean install of both OS's is the best way to go, installing XP first, then Vista, since Vista will recognise the older OS (XP), and allow you to install it as a secondary OS, even though it will be the default OS if you do not make the choice while restarting the computer (don't worry, you still are able to choose everytime you reboot the system).

WOW, I was having same problem; random boot from games in CoD4.

Never get it with my other punkbuster games though. I'll check out the link you guys provided, thanks.

I play occasionally, but really would like to try the new one based on the UT3 engine.

and the game should either update itself, or provide a link to the official update. The only reason you may not wish to use the fileplanet or other similar source, is that sometimes they are a version behind.

I agree with the ISP limiting your d/l with an interruption.

Try using an addon that will allow your download to restart, see if that helps. You aren't using dialup, are you? That would definitely explain it.

The only other thing may be a bad NIC card or driver, but as you can surf and download not likely either.

I am not sure that your firewall or router would be causing it, since you are able to download small files, and you are able to get partial downloadsas well. It definitely sounds more like the ISP.

Do you have another computer in the house you can test a download with? That could help eliminate your computer as the fault.

Absolutely, I have the evga 8800 gt superclocked, and it howls on my system (Crysis it the only game I don't run in 16x12 (22" CRT), which I run at 1280x960 at high, or 1024x768 for Very High).

I don't see any need to upgrade for a while, even if I have to start dropping resolutions a bit for the upcoming releases.
