^ that is hysterical!

i gotta try me some giant some time.

...btw, you spelled Athlon wrong in your sig.

Successfully complete all fifteen of the Daedric quests to get a large stat boost. You can choose any of the three major skill sets; Combat, Guile, or Magic. Each gives you a ten point permanent boost to the related stats and some of the related skills. It is extremely worth it to do the Daedric quests considering all the other good items you will get while doing the quests. You can activate up to fourteen at once if you are at a high enough level. The final quest requires level 21+, and you must have completed all of the other Daedric quests.

I was allready master in most combat skills and made the mistake of choosing those. Theyre now over 100 which doesnt do much so be sure to do moras quest when youll actually benifit from the skills, or be sure to choose a skillset your not allready mastered in.

P.S. Thanks for the correction Anon.. i daresay after having to fork over all that money for that processor, they rather diserve to have thier series misspelled. hehehe. had some fun with keyboards today as well.. NOONE should ever buy a wireless keyboard from Microsoft! THE THING WAS USELESS. it would ignore a key if held more than 3 or 4 seconds (like in oblivion when trying to walk?) And forget about walking and jumping. no more than 2 keys can be held at a time or it drops connection. had to really try not to smash the thing into dust before returning it today.. Knew i shoulda went Logitech..

None of you've answered my question...

I meant:

"Does stealing a item valued at 0 give you any infamy?"

sure...it is stealing.

where did you find something valued at zero?

...wireless anything sucks for gaming.

Logitech is the only brand worth buying from for mice and keyboards. That microsoft setup was just so nice looking i had to give it a shot. As far as the processor is concerned, it outperformes single cores and even most of the Intel Dual cores by quite a margin for single applications (almost all games and most apps). This is mostly a gaming machine and right now AMD Dual-Cores are the best available (within a reasonable price range of course :^). Even games not optomized for multithreading can have a core all to themselves while the Operating System uses the other! Google it and find some benchmarks man! Even the $1000 Extreme Edition has its ass handed to it by the AMD X2s on many of the tests and theyre about half the price! Also only AMD has a Front Side Bus speed of 2Ghz using Hypertransport compared to Intels 1000mhz available on only thier EE line. Rest of thier processors run at 800mhz.

P.S. Oblivion is just one game out now thats written to take advantage of multiple processors. This is evident in the threaded settings found in the .ini file. Threads are strings of independant code that can run on alternate cores simultaneously in real-time.
bUseThreadedTempEffects=1
bUseThreadedMorpher=1
bUseMultiThreadedTrees=1
iNumHavokThreads=5
etc...

Not much reason to have a dualcore processor at this point either, unless you're a hardcore video/3D editor.

With the hypertransport on that processor at only 1000Mhz, you would think it woudnt be as good for gaming as the newer FX and X2 chips. Processing all the geometry and textures and keeping everything moving smoothly requires a good front side bus and overclocking can only get you so far. If the chipset on the board isnt up to the task, the data from the processor will be ignored and youll get instability. How high is your FSB clocked and is it stable? Im running the NForce 4 chipset as well and i take it your experiance with it has been good so far? Been looking for a new brand to stick with after VIAs little "incident" with putting exploding capiciters on thier boards .

all ht are at 1000, or 2000 if you do the math differently.
My Sticky

currently, im not oc-ed. i dont have the patience to go through with it right now as i am constently playing oblivion and instabilities will destroy my save points. Once i beat oblivion, i will get it back up to the 2.5-2.6 mark...i'd go higher, but honestly i dont even have the patience to tweak my bios even that much.

And i will swear by DFI till i die.

i dont know how you can be such high levels? i am currently level 14 and i have completed 153 quests (using the difficulty slider on 50%), and dont know what else to do apart from the daedric shrines.
