I just ordered a Sapphire Radeon 9600XT which I hope to get on monday. Should make things interesting.

I was so tempted to buy a 9800 Pro a coupla weeks ago but didn't really feel like spending 200 bucks at the time.


What are you upgrading from ogre?

[WardenMac]

IVe got a 9700, I am very pleased with it.

[ogre_h]

SC, Geforce 4 MX440, came with the system.
Got the 9600Xt for $150 at NewEgg. They have really good prices. Its even better when the boss pays. There was no way he'd shell for a 9800. http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=14-102-335&depa=0
They're supposed to be easily overclocked, and stable when OC'ed.

What's nice is if you get a DVI to VGA adapter (which I just happen to have ), you can have dual monitors! Which I don't happen to have at home  
I'm hoping they arrive tomorrow.

By-the-by NewEgg also has the MS Intellimouse Explorer 4.0 for $23. Its not the wireless one, but man its sweet. Lighter and smoother than my IE 3.0 and has that sideways scroll. I really recommend it!

Its an OEM, but you just DL the drivers from MS and you're good to go. Actually it worked even without the drivers.

Hmm, sounds cool ogre. Whenever I upgrade stuff I always go to http://www.pricewatch.com/


Lists the best prices from lots of dealers.

[ogre_h]

Sometimes Pricegrabber, and Pricewatch don't list Newegg prices.

Back to OFP, some guy has a video of gunmounted tac lights

I hope he gets it perfected.

Combat has updated its M2's and M113's and has released its Hummers, M901 ITOW launcher and M577 Command Track.

For Y2k3 mod users, the Combat Components used by Y2K3 can be upgraded with the new units with no problems.

[Suicide_Commando]

Got em all for the Y2K3 mod. Real nice models those, the Combat team has talent.

[ogre_h]

I don't think the Hummers will show up in Y2k3 unless you edit it. I think Pappy used Fischkopf's Hummers.
I set up all the CBT stuff in its own folder, along with every other major mod team, and then I put it in the icon's command line after Y2k3. That way they all show up in the editor. Oh, and I did replace the CBT stuff in Y2k3 as well.
Now if I can only learn how to make missions.
Have you used DXDLL? Now that I've got a vid card that can actually handle it, its not bad.

[Suicide_Commando]

Pappy released an optional patch for the Hummers yesterday. Haven't tried dxdll yet. Just got a used GeForce 5?00 from a friend. Haven't put it in yet but it should run the configs just fine.

[ogre_h]

Ooh! I didn't see that. Me have to get!

[Suicide_Commando]

I really love the mod. It's just a small patch to overwrite the humr.pbo, then you need the Combat dl of course. I wish the damn EECP project would get updated though to fix that damned saved game bug.

[ogre_h]

I've noticed a lot of these OFP modders release stuff and then walk away and you never hear from them again or they drop it and do something else. Like the DXDLL mod is a little unstable, but as far as I know they've moved on to other things. I know compared to GR there's a ton more variables to account for, but it seems like some guys just want to get something out.

Since OFP2 is not coming til 2006, do you think BIS will release anything to keep interest alive?

[Suicide_Commando]

I doubt it. Been a long time since any expansions or new patches for that matter have been released.
