Timmah!

Turned out great. Too big for one pan, so cut them in 1/2 for 2 pans. Chicago Steak seasoning, brown sugar; baked @ 250F for 4 hours, wrapped in foil. Then turned-up oven to 350, removed foil & baked for another 1/2 hour, basting 3X.

Welp... there goes the neighborhood. J/k, couldn't have made a better selection. Quite obvious, actually. When you think about it, does she even qualify as an idiot? If you talk to her long enough, she's clearly overqualified.

?

Nice. Thx.

Welcome!

I remember years ago working with other mappers on that site; one of them turned me onto a proprietary model converter that he had written for converting model objects from other games. I used it to help import models from a few other games. The site, as I recall even then years ago went offline; fortunately I had the personal contact info of the people with whom I was then working. The management & organization of the site left something to be desired.

AMD would be really great if they'd improve upon their memory controllers; as it stands, their chips are about 10-15% slower in translated fps all other things being equal. They really do shine in multi-core apps when it comes to value & performance.

Heynow.

Have you tried a fresh reinstall of COD4 & the two patches?

His website posts 2nd when doing the search about which he complains being buried. Don't see what's the complaint.

Here're some options to look over to get a feel for what you might want. Youtube is another place to look for advice on gaming builds. https://www.wepc.com/builds/best-gaming-pc-under-500/ The gpu will be the heart of the gaming system, so allocate as much $ as you can for that part. Black Friday & Cyber Monday are coming up, hold off for those deals. That's what I'm waiting on to build my next rig. Deals should be rolling in over the next couple weeks.

If you want to save some $, I can help you like I did with a couple buddies in NZ; They would paypal me the money & I would then buy the gpu/cpu & have it shipped to them as a gift.

Bro, the 660 gpu released like 7 years ago... Even 500 dollars, Pounds, whatever over 7 years is a manageable upgrade schedule.

Heynow!

Buddy! Happy Birthday!

I would also wait until the first week in December for Black Friday/ Cyber Monday deals.

Being the GPU is the workhorse, you want the best you can for gaming, so that you're not taxing the cpu & producing a bottleneck on the graphics end of the deal.

Confused? Isn't this the classic look of an idiot. I sometimes see that vacuous expression in the mirror some mornings.

Depends on the games you're playing, the resolution you're using, how many bells & whistles you have turned on & how far you have things like AA turned up, whether you're looking for performance & fps or eye candy. That link I posted a few posts above can be configured at the top of each column to see how the cards rank in each of those categories of price, value, performance. You can bench cards, see how cards stack up against each other; just about anything you want to investigate for your buying decision satisfaction.

In the spirit of realism, I think that people that cry too much should become dehydrated & move more slowly, with less coordination.
