The downloads slowed to a crawl over night. Currently standing at 68% and 69%. Blech! I'll keep them going. If they still have trouble, I'll be in the south side of campus tomorrow. You can pull nearly 2mBps down there. That'll show those downloads!
Goals for today: Get my Journals done for RELST 380
Charge my Digicam and get a video up of TF2 and Oblivion.
Get some screen shots uploaded to my photobucket.
Get you guys a review of Sim city societies.
Study for my midterm.

Can you try Grid?
I've got a Steam account that I use to play Grid and you can test it if you want to. I also have one with CS:S if you need.

I have a buddy who has grid, I'll load it up and give it a shot.

Any chance someone could try Counter Strike: Source??
I also have CS:S! I'll give it a shot as well. This worked fine on the old x3100, so I imagine it'll work fine now.

I guess I'm missing what program you're referring to...I'll give it a shot if you let me know though!
The demos are done downloading. Apparently the guy next door was torrenting HD movies. Those are done and my wireless seems to be working well again. I just installed the FF11 demo and about to try it out. After that, I'm going to take a couple hours to finish my school work and then try out UT 03. I'll let you guys know the results!
says it is between the top two categories...in other words, it plays just fine!
One note though, I was getting the same stuttering thing that I am getting in Oblivion and Half Life. It happened twice during the benchmark and each time lasted about 2 seconds. I'm still going to call driver issue on this one, however I'd like some other people to recreate the issue if possible before we make any decisions on it. Let me know!
Edit: I found a new driver for the chipset on Nvidia's site. The version that comes with bootcamp is 174.xx and the newest driver is 178.xx. Nvidia claims 10-15% increase in performance in newer games OVER DRIVER VERSION 175.XX. This is pretty exciting. I'll test it out later and see what I find out...maybe it'll fix that stuttering issue.
No worries! Here are the results...it saved them to a .xml file...it's a little strange to look at. Hopefully you can make some sense of it.

Edit: I uploaded the video to youtube, but it's still in "processing". I've heard this can take upwards of 2 hours. It's a large file. I'm sorry about the poor quality/camera work. I'm a photographer, not a cinematographer, haha. It gets the point across though. When it finally shows up, I'll post a link.
