I have a Jasper 360, about 1-2 months old, had reasonable play time, no marathons. Now it doesn't have red rings, nor did it have any flicker during play, but today I switched it on after a week of not playing it (when I did it was still fine) and it won't display anything. I've done loads of tests including using other cables etc but even the controller won't connect so it's gotta be the consoles problem.
So does this sound like a premature RROD? I haven't heard anything at all about Jaspers getting them.
I've ordered X clamps and Arctic Silver 5 paste already, hopefully it should make it bulletproof.
If this is for gaming, I wouldn't spend so much on it as the quality between monitors isn't big. I bought a HP w2448hc, it is good, but just as good as any other monitor for gaming. I can only see the difference when editing photos and 3D modelling
Are there even any advantages of having Vista over XP apart from DX10? XP is sufficient for most of the market and MS is just releasing new stuff to sell more.
I think Arcade is the way to go cause you can get a 20gb hard drive from Microsoft in a free upgrade program. If 20gb isn't enough then consider pro but elite is definitely a rip off.
I'm not sure being hardcore necessarily means you play every game enough to have knowledge on most games that exist, as everyone has different tastes. For me I consider myself hardcore as it is my biggest hobby, I spend a lot of time playing and keeping up to date with news etc. basically being enthusiastic about it.
PSP has quite a few good RPGs if you're into them, Disgaea is a great game that lasts very long. Theres also Metal Gear Acid 1 and 2 (1 is better for story, 2 is missable) Jeanne D'arc was also very good.
My current setup has 2 x 1Gb of OCZ Platinum Revision 2 RAM. DDR2 PC2 6400 running at 533mhz: CL 4-4-4-15, runs fine.
However I upgraded to the same RAM but not a revision 2, 2 x 2gb OCZ Platinum PC2 6400 CL 5-4-4-18, it boots up fine and recognises 3Gb on 32 bit XP however onboard sound isn't detected and it can't shut down fully. It just hangs with a black screen.
Is there something wrong with the RAM or has it something to do with the CL?
Also it runs a bit slower, not really worth having double the memory if it means less performance, there must be something wrong..
