IGN - Arma 3 Announced:) http://pc.ign.com/articles/116/1169290p1.html

Hi Alex72, Thank you for your suggestion but unfortunately it’s still fubar. I tried but it just keeps on crashing to the desk top and dumping the memory. I guess I will have to wait until BI sorts it out. Thank you!

Haha! You are right! I have no idea why I included the case other than it being a shiny object. Lol! Anyhow, I will try out your suggestions tonight. I’ve been playing the game with my settings at very high and a view distance of 3,027m. Post processing is disabled and i am using the latest drivers from Nvidia - 197.13. Thank you!

I love this game but my game keeps on crashing, making this experience just frustrating. I have applied the suggestions on this thread and others to get the game to work without crashing to the desk but same story. The video crashes to the deck top but I can still hear the game in the background being played as if there was nothing wrong. And a few seconds later I get the blue screen with the process of “dumping of physical memory†Here are my specs: Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit System Manufacturer: Asus System Model: MB ASUS|P6T7 WS SUPERCOMPUTER BIOS: BIOS Date: 11/09/09 10:26:09 Ver: 08.00.15 Processor: Intel® Core i7 CPU 950 @ 3.07GHz (8 CPUs), ~3.1GHz Memory: MEM 2Gx3|CORS TR3X6G1600C8D Available OS Memory: 6136MB RAM Page File: 1395MB used, 10872MB available Display Adapter: VGA EVGA|017-P3-1295-AR GTX295 (Single) DirectX Version: DirectX 11 DxDiag Version: 6.01.7600.16385 64bit Unicode Blue Ray-COMBO LG | CH08LS10 CASE NZXT|ZERO BK/SIL RT PSU ANTEC|TPQ-1000 1000W HD 150G|WD WD1500HLFS 10000RPM

Hi Sesdelta38, Supernova and ch_123 are correct when it comes to building your own computer. It’s not that difficult, there are plenty of how do Is online for you to begin this process. It really comes down to price and money. If you have the money to spend on a computer by all means Alien is commercial brand owned by Dell that will offer the services that you need. However, for the same amount of money u can build a supercomputer on your own. Or u can build a great computer for half the price of an Alienware.

These are all some very thoughtful answers! The questions now is if some of this hardware will be or is already obsolete, were do i draw the line and feel satisfied with my purchase? Based on your suggestions here is my new rig: - Thermaltake ArmorPlus(Armor+) VH6000BWS Black Aluminum / Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case - Western Digital VelociRaptor WD3000HLFS 300GB 10000 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive - EVGA 017-P3-1294-AR GeForce GTX 295 1792MB 896 Bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card (price went down) - CORSAIR CMPSU-850TX 850W ATX12V 2.2 / EPS12V 2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Active PFC Power Supply - CORSAIR DOMINATOR 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Triple Channel Kit Desktop - ASUS P6T7 WS Supercomputer LGA 1366 Intel X58 CEB Intel Motherboard - Retail - Intel Core i7-950 Bloomfield 3.06GHz LGA 1366 130W Quad-Core Processor Model BX80601950 (It’s a lot cheaper than the 975) If the ASUS LGA 1366 will be obsolete by the fall, should i wait and purchase then or should i just get a lesser motherboard and upgrade it later on? Thank you, RedLion

Hi CameronMcDonald & Ch_123, Thank you kindly for your suggestions. You bring up some valid point for me to consider before buying. Much appreciated, RedLion ---------- Post added at 03:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:30 PM ---------- Hi Sertorius21, In terms of a lower i7 core, that means i would be looking at lower speeds, correct? And if i want to increase the speed i would have to overclock it, correct? - Something that i might consider doing. So if this is the case, i could get the same amount of speed with a lower i7 buy overclocking when compared to the i7 975? Thank you!

Hi Guys, My apologies, i was sure but i posted this in the off-topic section but maybe it should have been here..I am finally breaking down i am buying a new computer. I want to run Arma 2 at its highest possible settings when possible. That said here is what i plan to buy from Newegg: (My first at building my own but I a comfortable with it. I’m tired of paying Dell for a lesser machine) - Apevia X-Telstar-AL Silver Aluminum ATX Full Tower Computer - Western Digital VelociRaptor WD3000hlfs 300GB 10000 RPM SATA 3.0 Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive - OEM - EVGA 017-P3-1294-AR GeForce GTX 295 1792MB 896 Bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI - Corsair CMPSU-1000HX 1000W ATX12V 2.2 / EPS12V 2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified - Corsair XMS3 12GB (6 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model ASUS - P6T SE LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard - Intel Core i7-975 Extreme Edition Bloomfield 3.33GHz LGA 1366 130W Quad-Core Processor Model BX80601975 - Pioneer Black 8X Blu-Ray DVD Burner w/ Software SATA Model BDR-203BKS The price is a bit high but I want this to last me a few years plus I hope I can have the flexibility to upgrade with this computer (i.e., video card, cpu etc...) Many thanks for your thoughts, RedLion

Hi Guys, I've been following this game since ofp and to that effect I can’t wait for their next upcoming title Arma2. That said, I do work for GameTrailers and I am sure we can do something for Arma2. Please send me a pm. I trust if you know the person responsible for their marketing you can certainly direct them my way and we will figure something out. Many thanks.:)

How popular is XFire and would you recommend it?

Hi Guys! I need some help. I would like to talk to my friends during our games but cant decide what application to use? What gaming applications you guys use. I can't decide between Xfire or Comrade. Thansk! RedLion

After so many years of UN sponsored sanctions and resolutions do oust Saddam, lethal force was the only option available. End of story. Saddam brought this fate onto him and all his criminal followers. This greater conflict has been in the making for many generations and unfortunately there are those who will agree with the actions taken and there are those who will not. We are by far perfect as a nation; just like all World states vying for global position the US is no different from the rest. Peace will surface one way or another in this region of the world. The question is what can we do as a united front to expedite this process?

Good to know that this asshole is dead, end of story. Muqtada al Sadr Al is next.

Hi guys, Since I currently own an old computer (5 years old), I think it is time for me to buy a new PC. My poor Dell is about to make that transition into computer hell soon! I am looking at an Intel Quad based computer. But before I endeavor on this quest, I would like to first ask for your expert opinions on this matter. When thinking about Armed Assault or even Game 2, is it worth the investment? Should I buy a dual core instead? Aside from wanting to play Armed Assault at an exceptional setting I do use my computer at home for work as well (power point heavy) Kindest regards, RedLion
