It's all about budget ofcourse .......

I'd recommend an E8400 for Cpu , an Nvidia 8800 GT or a Ati 3870 for graphics.
Both real good cards in middle price range.
2 Megs of system ram .
And 32 bit Vista or XP , running Xp myself because it gives you less trouble with games ,but that's just personal ...

Update:

I finally found the answer to this .
Was told to me by a game engine ,connection expert .

It's the netcode for COD /UO wich is the culpritt ,atleast it is for low ping and stable connection players.
Turns out the netcode for COD /UO is setup for high ping /unstable connection players.
So ...

I have read several posts that seem to suggest that quite possibly a 3mgb/sec dsl is better for gaming than an 8mgb/sec cable...

is that possible...?

I happen to agree with this statement ,atleast that is my experience too.
But i have to admitt i'm a total nitwit on connections and can't tell ...

Thanks Alot Trogers ....

I'll get on with it ,and post back with results .
Could take awhile though..............

Outlaw

Thanks Trogers,

I'm already onto letting them do this first.
Since they both are not very familiar with PC's ,i have to start from scratch with them.
But would appreciate any tips for setting up TCP optimiser anyway......

Outlaw

Hi ,

I've got some friends from belgium ,who have problems with their connection lately.
Although their download speeds are okay approx 4000 kbs ,their upload only is about 120 till 180 kbs ,and their ping could do with an approvement also.
So i want to try and help them with it ,and give them ...

Outlaw

Thanks Loop2kill,

Yes i did some research before deciding on the hardware,
I wanted a pretty fast ,and very quiet system .(because it's in my living room)
Especially the noise level of components ,will cost you alot of time to look into.
But at some point you don't see the forest through the trees ...

Toyota Corolla 1.3 4doors 1985 ,built 1976 ......

1x Mitsubishi galant GLXI '99

Not very impressive ,but i always was very thirsty ........

Outlaw

Then why would you BUY it? Trust me, I speak from experience, it's not worth it to have an uber system if it puts you in the poor house.

I know ,it was more meant like a little joke ,..sorry for that. :(

And think you're right Burke , it's not worth it at all .
Would have never done it when i ...

Well the Raptors cost approx 180 euro's so 260 USD over here.....(Netherlands)
Whole system is approx 2400 euro , ....that's why i've planned to OC ,to extend the systems lifetime a few more Years / Months / Weeks.....

B.t.w It's running me Bankrupt ......

Outlaw

Okay ,ordered the parts for my new PC last week.
It is configured to do some OC-ing in the future ,to give it some more lifetime.
I know i maybe should wait for the new Nvidia cards to come out ,but noone knows exactly when so............

Lian Li PC-V1000B Plus (ATX, black)

Outlaw

Hope i still get mine then,......

Since i've ordered two of them last week for my new system

( MSI NX8800GTS-T2D512E-OC )

Outlaw

OMG ,this really took forever........thought it was going to be called "Duke Nukem forever & never " .
Hope they kept in the humor ,don't expect much from the gameplay.....

Nice ,but pretty easy ,and too short......

Well i've tried the 169.04 driver myself now , and it has the same issues as the 168 driver had.
So it doesn't work well with my card at all.........
Could be the GPU / MOBO combo wich causes this, but i've gone back to the 84.21 driver now ,wich doesn't have these issues with my BFG card.

Any luck ...

Outlaw

i had already recommended one of the 169.0? drivers.. any of the last 3 of that series should work great for you. Just make sure your fully removing them with say Driver Cleaner Pro

Yes ,make sure old drivers remains are gone before installing new one.
Don't know about the 169 driver ,but i ...

Outlaw

Mmmm , not an expert either ,but seems like a hardware acceleration problem to me.
So maybe it's your graphics card driver then.
I'm having the BFG 7900 GTO card , wich has trouble with the newer nvidia drivers.
This even was advised by BFG techstaff to me ,to use an older driver for the 7 series ...

Outlaw

You could try this:

Go to control panel > sound and audio devices > speaker settings > advanced.
Performance > put your hardware acceleration to the first step next to none.
So the second one from the left.
Klik apply .

Now start your game again ,and see if it's better.
Just a hunch , but i've ...

You're right Sava , and it's their choice how hardware hungry they design their games......

But this wasn't my main point , just don't like the game ,.....matter of taste i guess.

Outlaw

I'm planning to built a new gaming rig ,and i was determined to put dual GTX cards in.
But since i've read some reviews of the GT ,ive changed my mind .
I'm def going for dual GT cards now,....saves me 350 pounds ,for just a bit less performance.......

Outlaw

First it ran crap on my 3.0 /830 cpu ,and 7900 GTO , and further it isn't my thing anyway , reminds me of Farcry wich i also wasn't a big fan off.

It's looking like a graphics card sales demo to me ,instead of a serious game.
But than again ,it's personal taste i guess..........

Outlaw

Mmmm .....pretty easy kills , don't know this game but seems unrealistic to me!

Outlaw

I also think it's something with the autoplay function.
Also have a few cd's/dvd's wich give me some trouble , especially when rebooting computer ,it just hangs when these cd's are in the drive.
I just have autoplay disabled ,and no problems afterwards. :nope:

B.t.w. i also have a Dell comp 9100 ...

Outlaw

I agree with Shagster , more of a fan of shooting man to man instead of driving vehicles.

Personally think BF looks great ,but there is too much going on ,and just too hectical for me.

Further more of a fan of WWII games than modern warfare,

another reason why i'm not sure i will like COD 4 ...

Outlaw

If the gameplay is just as good as COD UO , i'll definately give it a try.
If it s*cks like on COD 2 , i probably won't touch it.

Anyway , i'll keep updated about it ,and will decide after MP is released.

Update:

I've been reading an article about refresh rates /Fps etc today.
They claimed there was no use in running more fps then your monitor's refresh rate.
Because your monitor could get out of sync with your graphics card ,and screen tearing and no accurate views could be the result.
Although i ...

I know off some games were your ping is reduced by reducing your maxpackets settings ,but don't know if that goes for counterstrike too.

Hi Yoyaz,

Nope ,it's just a player name i sometimes used for playing COD online.
