lol yer, sucking up to us isn't a good way of getting into zero either DH :P

TISM is a zit right now rotfl
But he's not in zero ;)

wwwweeeeelllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
sucking up does have an effect on me
but he isn't sucking up enough.

you can do better :D

rofl Hero! inspiring people to rise to their personal best is a good thing :D :D

i'm just glad he'll be rising up against you, not me :rolleyes:

oh naughty :P

i won't be available to play tuesday 11/7
sorry :'(

oh nooooooo!!!!! :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

Oh well, at least I can go play CZ now if nobody turns up ;) :D

go the mighty hook!!! rotfl

so what is 1(hero) v 1(rem) like in zero these days?

:D

AWESOME fun!!!! :D

but we do have some other regulars too, just that they're not in zero (yet). oh, and of course we usually have a few other zero's in as well on Tue/Fri nights :P

But u forget DH, we play against the [helpme] clan :rolleyes:
There's always plenty of them :D

Ahhh I miss the old ole [HelpMe] KillOreo bot. He was my favourite.

LOL oh memories
how they come flooding back .................................................. ........

LETS PLAY CLASSIC cs1.5 fun maps :D:D:D:D:D :P

(that helpme clan i think have more practice sessions then us, they seem to be getting better everytime i face them :P)

he_paintball

he_mario

he_pacman :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

hahaha yes, awesome stuff! I have my CZ server running fine, and i think it has all those maps, plus the hook and chicken mod, etc :D :D :D

my CS 1.6 server goes, but i forget what the status of it is? Hero, do u remember? I think i can still get it to go with 1.6 beta bots, but hero and i tested it a few weeks ago, and i reckon the CZ server is just awesome!!!! We play that now if there's only CZ players left on the server on tue/fri nights.

cs1.5 server - i still have that installed, but no idea if it works or not, and no desire to find out. It uses plbots. No good compared to CZ. :P It used WON authentication as well - and didn't they shut down WON?

CS Source and CZ - those are the winners I reckon!

hey, you guys can stick up a server too! I'd love to play on a server if someone else ran it :D
Note that my upstream network capacity will be downsized soon - so in the next few months my server capacity will be shrunk to 3 or 4 ppl max :cry: (nothing I can do about it tho)

Perhaps I can be convinced to give my adsl 2+ upstream to the cs cause... Oh and a dedicated server too.. but none of this server side crapola.

Slaide

would u really? tue and fri nights? :D :D :D

what upstream capacity do u have?

if u put up a server, would that mean u would play in it as well? :D :D :D

what do u mean by server side stuff? does that mean manimod? statsme?

how do you find the connections like with adsl 2+ ??
are you close to the exchange because i hear the speed drops very sharply even a few km's from the exchange?

what speed ? (up and down)

speed drops quickly within 1 km - for max speed u have to be within a couple of houses of the exchange (500 metres, and that includes all the wiring inside the exchange, and snaking around the street)

DODGY!!!!


has anyone played The Ship ?

i heared a reveiw of this game and it sounds awesome...

i'm gona get it :P ............... check it out.

I only got about 8000 / 1500 on my adsl 2 service. but's that's still better than adsl 1.

Slaide

not to shabby

lol

wow slaide - AWESOME upstream!!!!! :D :D and downstream quite respectable!

your upstream would support around 20 to 25 human CS players!!!!!!!! (my defacto measure of upstream size ;)) MASSIVE!!!!!!!!!

hero, i know nothing about Ship, soz ;)

Speaking of specs.. what PC specs you guys running nowadays? I'll need an upgrade soon. Once Im back higher than 15fps.. just watch out!

i'd say any of the new athlon 64 bit dual core cpu's (THERE GREAT)

i have one in my new asus notebook and it kicks ass.

also the 7000 series gfx cards a nice also
but a 6800 (or even a 6600 which i have) would do very well.

at least 1 gig ram

other then that there isn't really anything else to worry about, unless you want to talk about hdd's ....
in my opinion sata to pata makes no real visible difference unless your dealing with photo and video editing (or 3d modeling) alot)


OH and obviously the sound card issue
but you can find good quality sound inbuilt to most mb's these days
(unless you really want to spend several hundred $$$ on a pci or pci-x sound card)

I've still got my pc from a few years ago.. The only thing I've upgraded in that time is the video card. got a 6800GT (oh and the x-fi music but other than that), which has prolonged it's life a little. But it's getting more processor bound these days.. Only a XP3600+

Slaide

lol 3600+
nothing can beat my xp2000+ :P

thats the same cpu i have had for 4 years :)
i'v had to replaced everything else :P over time because of failures.

i run a 3.2G P4, and that's more than enough for CS. ppl have had a lot of trouble with running dual core CPU's, so be prepared to fiddle if u get one.

go for PCI xpress for video card. Mine is 8xAGP (ATI X800XT) and cost a fortune last yr, and barely cuts it now. be prepared to spend over $500

hdd, go SATA for sure

RAM - go 2Gb. 1 Gb is barely enough now.

screen - 8ms 19" LCD is good (but I still have an old CRT desk bender)

case? lots of fans and big power supply (> 450W) is necessary cos vid cards and CPU really suck watts these days ;)

but doubt - u do fine in CS, and are still a joy to ghost :)

Originally
SATA was no better then ata
both had a max transfer rate of of 130 mb/s and 150 mb/s

however SATA2 has a transfer rate of 300mb/s
some inprovment i agree

however the next step is 600mb/s

if your gona go sata go sata2

Lol what do you mean ghost.. you're never a ghost! It's always us watching you and your haX!

As for PC specs.. thanks for that.. i've done a fair bit of research, that Pentium D 805 2.66GHz overclocks to 3.6 on air (just need a better cpu cooling fan), so Im going to be getting that, a SLI motherboard (slaide style you say), and a 7600GS card. (and I'll slot a second one in, in a year, hehe).

Basically going for excellent value for performance. I expect it will more than be capable of CS:S, but Im aiming to have it be useful for a few years, as usual. Step 2 will also be more ram and a SATA II HDD, as mentioned by Hero.

As for not beating the XP 2000+ - that's exactly what I have (1.7GHz, so slow), and it's just not enough. Shame that my Radeon 9600XT is probably too good for the CPU, but it's time for an all-round upgrade, into PCI Express.

MUHAHAHAHA THAT WOULD BE ABOUT 5 ZERO CLANS! :D

@DirtyHarry :: OH SNAP!


@doubt :: Ya i have the same problem. my 2000+ (1.63 ghz) is not good enough for my 6600gt :P


BUT I LOVE MY notebook.

its amazing it has a turon 2 64bit x2 cpu in it but its clock speed is only 1.6ghz :P
The nVIDIA Geoforce GO FX 7600 - 256 MB and 1 gig ram, probably helps to :D

just goes to show that 64bit and dualcore does add alot more proformance. you don't need high clockspeeds to get that.

carn't wait for the 4 core :P (thats the way there going, no more speed, just more cores)
