    Finally got the 9600 Pro in Monday. I installed it and everything went smoothly. I started overclocking and got it up to 500/380 with a lot of artifacts. So, I went down a bit to 487/360 and it looked good. THEN.. . I started fooling around with overclocking my system again. Needless to say, it STILL doesn't want to oc much. Plus, I screwed my profile up, had to create a new one, all the while the system keeps freezing on me. I don't know if it is now the oc'd system or the oc'd Radeon causing problems. I'm going to have to start the oc'ing over from the begining.

    I downloaded the Breed demo and it flows SO smoothly! I then got onto 'ol trusty Kazaa Lite and downloaded GTA Vice City, nice as nice can be! So, here's the question...

    Anyone have any, ahem, back up copies of games (preferably action and/or 1st person shooters) they would like to share? I'd love to get a copy of Battlefield 1942. I can host an FTP server if needed.

    Thumbs up

    OHHH me too!

    I just got a Dell 2.8 with HT 1gig of ram and a ATI Radeon 9800 PRO!

    Must get some games!

    I DL Kazaa Lite and got a F'n Virus so I am not sure what to use to get some goods?

    Just DL the demo of Unreal 2, is very cool!

    Dallas how about letting me leach GTA from ya?

    FYI Doom 3 that I got from ya looks amazing.

    Man, my system crashed (hard) a couple months ago, and I lost everything I had that I shared... including Doom 3. I'm going to have to find a way to get that back.

    I'll see if I can (re)set up my ftp server and share out GTA. I'm going to have to put limits on the sharing as a lot of the time I couldn't get any surfing done do to the lost bandwidth. Of course, I was unemployed and home all hours of the day, so I didn't have much else to do either.

    Oh, did you get in on one of those Dell deals for $499, with the 9800 Pro for $100 more?

    Now were talking my talk. Anybody up for some online gaming? I'm huge UT & UT2k3 fan and did alittle Battlefield 1942 at LAN once. I also play the usual stuff like Quake 3, Motocross Madness is always a cool one when you get tired of shoot 'em ups.
    What all does everyone else play?

    Tell you what... if you want to provide the game, I'll play. I don't have any at this moment (lost everything). If you'll upload to me, then maybe we can get something going!
