well, tried tweaking memory voltage and timing and still blue screen at 1066,,,,, kinda pisses me off since that is what the memory should run at

thanks for the tip, I was going to bump up the voltage on the memory anyhow but I think I will run that ap and see

Well been running it for a few weeks now and I am pretty happy with it. One issue I have not cleared up yet, I am running my 1066 memory at 800. If I run it at 1066 sooner or later I blue screen. I also run Vista 64... yah I know...yuck!! but for those of you that do, I have found a way to install DX 11... yah baby

guess I gotta get the new maps.....sigh

Sonovabich If they don't release mod tools for this very soon it is going to die the death it probably deserves, sorry for you Black Ops admins but i see more of you back playing cod4 regularly, since the that first map pack came out which i very foolishly bought, i played all in all possibly 1 hour at the most, the times i want to play i never see anyone on our servers at all I tend to agree, hell I want it to get better, but so far I will need another 30.00 to get reasonable play time on any server. I think they are slowly killing the golden goose

Bushape You guys can say whatever you want. I don't have no kick ass computer and I have had very little problems with steam or Black Ops. I have had a few small issues but that was all. There are several posts that have been made to help with any problems. Anybody have a problem running Black Ops, then get in touch with Sun Tzu. He is the man to help you out. Bitching and whinning isn't going to change a damn thing. Black Ops isn't like your normal COD4 or 5. So don't expect to play it in the same way. If you are having problems then get them fixed. If you don't then I don't think that you are serious about playing and would rather hear yourself complain about it. Game play has not been the issue since I cleared up some lag problems Here are a few problems I have had 1. steam updates that screw up and make it usless until I can fix them, just what I want to do is sit for an hour fixing their mess before I play a game. 2. After logging in and playing for 15 min, getting disconnected with the notice that the main server is not available, then keep getting that message when trying to re-log in 3. after steam update my computer shows a load of corupt files, after scanning it turns out to be 100s of steam files. I have more but that is the hit list that is just steam issues not COD Black ops

I have no problem with it, if they took him alive or burried him someplace then his followers would have a place to honor him, good place for him

crouch server +3 please

look I think black Ops is a good game I just think Activision is not going to allow anybody the chance to make maps because they want to suck every dime out of it, but instead they are slowly sucking the life out of it and loosing future customers to boot

I play on crouch servers too, I think it is the only way to play this game until we can get some bigger maps, even I like the more tactical aproch you need. not much of a run and gunner, more of a stick and move

PT-Bama Thought we here in South Carolina (just across the border from Augusta, Ga) were gonna get thrashed, but we just got LOTS of lightning and high winds/rain. My thoughts and prayers go out to all the folks in Alabama and Georgia, who got really tore up by the tornados. Same thing in this part of SC all ok. Last week was bad in North Carolina too 62 tornados

so let me get this streight I pay 60.00 for a game and I was pissed because before long I have to pay 15.00 for a map pack because in order to stay on any fucking server for more than 10 min I need it and now I will still be in the same boat soon because they are selling another map pack....fuck me, so since christmas I got 60.00+15.00+ another 15.00...total of 90.00 ???? how much more in the next 6 months....gimmie a fucking break since I got sucked in I will no doubt play out this game and keep putting money in their fucking coin slot to be able to continue to play. But from now on, no more Activision games, they can kiss my hairy ass.

sigh

Well I must of been thinking the same because when I looked I ordered a 1090T But it is installed and with a little tweaking I have the system running nice I ran Black Ops on a busy server tonight and I was hovering around 100 fps, damn nice compaired to how it was running I think my hard drives are the only thing holding this system back. I think the next thing I do is gang a SSD drive with on of my machanical drives, should double the transfer rate

Go to the XI web site write down all the black op IPs start the game and go to the game browser hit the tilda key to bring up the comand line type connect 173.199.104.221:3074 for example hit the enter key and it should try to connect to that server once it does you can save it to your favs and it will be in your favs in the game browser next time you want to play.

I am sorry to hear, Not that strange posting, in 2006 I lost someone close to me and I posted on another forum. I said things I kept from my family because I did not want to dump more on them then they were already trying to cope with themselves. In a small way it did help me go forward.

I want to play on XI servers but they are empty a lot, this server was the only one I found anybody on. In another post I stated the reasons I felt players were not using the BO servers ( they don't know how to connect through command line) and they can't find us on the game browser. Need to post a notice of the process of typing in the server IP

Update: I have got the game running better now and can play reasonably. But 2 things I am XI and I want to play on XI servers, most of the time they are empty I think the problem is people don't know what to do if the servers do not show in the browser Go to the XI web site write down all the black op IPs start the game and go to the game browser hit the tilda key to bring up the comand line type connect 173.199.104.221:3074 foe example hit the enter key and it should try to connect to that server once it does you can save it to your favs and it will be in your favs in the game browser next time you want to play. The next bitch I have is now everybody is using new maps I gota fork over another 14.95 to these steam assholes for a map pack Gimmie a break, forked over 60.00 for a game now they rape me again......sucks

I have a few microsoft keybords not rec durring windows install "F6" key will not work...isnt that some crap microsoft OS and miscrosoft keyboard. I just have an old keyboard I keep for installs

I just go to command line while I have the server browser open and type in the IP after I go in game I save it to my favs, IE command "connect 173.199.104.221:2074" then "enter"

simplemod400 did that a couple years ago, in a single core build, it was a barebone kit that came mixed that way. lasted about a year and the mobo fried the capacitor cans right next to the cpu. was MSI brand board. don't know what caused it. was NOT overclocked, and using the fan that came with the kit. did another barebone kit to replace it, pretty sure the cpu is AM3 at the moment but cant remember for sure if the new board is AM2 or not, but this bulid is a dual core 2.66ghz, and working great still after about a years and a half. i have 4 desktops up and running, can't be exactly sure of everything, will look at specs in a little while to be sure for you.. do know Im running ddr2 and vista x64 on that particular desktop build. that is the rig i have set up mainly for tv tuner card with a VHS vcr hooked up to it for home movie ripping. That was a common problem with alot of motherboards a few years ago, the cheaper the board the cheaper the caps. I had an Abit MoBo I loved years ago that the caps swelled up and died on. The caps on this board look a little more robust. The thing is that by the time the caps cooked most people were on to their next system. I think alot of us are hanging on to our computers longer than in the past. I used to build myself a new one every November (at least new MoBo processor and memory) When I put this new processor in I hope to run it for at least another year. keep in mind my systems tend to morf, I added a 6870 vid card about 6 months ago

Well they are both Thruban processors they both are 6 core They are both 125 watt they both have turbo they both have the same L2 and L3 so I would guess at worst it might under clock

I just ordered one from Newegg so will see in a few days if it was worth it

in windows 7 you might want to run the cod2 setup as administrator, some of the older games try to access things w7 does not like them to

right click on the game icon and run as admin and if that does not work try as a last ditch effort turn UAC off
