Looking around, I decided that my current PC actually isn't bad in terms of processor or motherboard, but the graphics card needs upgrades. The PC was built well and it's not very old, but it wan't built for gaming, so the graphics card was low grade, and worse, it's INTEGRATED. Fortunately I have a PCI Express x16 slot open according to the PC specs, so I'm thinking of installing a VisionTek 900614 Radeon HD 7750 2GB GDDR5 PCIe 6x mini DP Video Card (Eyefinity 6), and a new power supply, the SeaSonic S12II S12II 380B 380W ATX12V v2.3 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply I THINK these two will work together to give me a nice new graphics card and enough power to run it, but I'd like some other peoples input before I buy anything.

I think you misunderstand how the special works. Booty used it herself and explained it to me. Once you select your combo, they send you to iBuyPower's website to finish it. You just get a discount if you reach them through Wal-Mart. I can get a PC anywhere from $500 to around $3500 when I max it out, and it's much cheaper, so I could be getting a $750-$1000 PC for $500. EDIT: ...although Newegg.com does have some nice deals...

A little overkill I think GenOBrien, at least for me. Fortunately Booty showed me where I can get a decent customizable iBuyPower gaming pc for cheap via Wal-Mart special. http://www.walmart.com/ip/iBuyPower-Build-Your-Own-Gaming-Desktop-Bundle-Select-Case-Processor-Memory-Hard-Drive-and-more/15374646

Most of these sites have pretty high minimum prices. The X51 I've put together looks good, that first link Sean put up is a cheaper alternative, though I'll have to compare the key aspects to see which one is a better value, and I'm looking into an iBuyPower Revolt A450 as a tertiary option. I've decided to put a price range on myself of about $1000 and below, that's already twice the cost of my current computer, which is made for all around stuff, not gaming. And before anyone says "Oh get the expensive ones they'll last longer!" I KNOW. As stated above I only intend to use this for a few years, but I need something that can run RenX with better graphics and is capable of running PlanetSide2, which I've wanted to try for a while. I think my current computer is running an ATI Radeon HD 4200 graphics card. Lame, I know.

That's why I'm going cheap now. I don't expect to hang on to it for more than a year or two, I just need something decent for RenX, and I've wanted to try PlanetSide 2 for a while now, but my graphics card doesn't cut it.

As it stands this rig costs just under 1k, but I may upgrade to the 8GB memory, if it's worth it. If only I was rich or something, I could get my dream setup for 5k EDIT: Took a quick look: only $50 for another 2GB memory? WORTH IT!

Ok, so I've been running a sort of low-grade general-use PC for a while now, I'm not sure what the specs are and I don't even want to know. So I'm looking at getting a new gaming rig that will last for a while. I'm too lazy to build it myself, so I'm looking at getting Alienware's cheapest desktop, the X51. I'd like any suggestions I can get to make sure I'm not getting less than I would need or overkill. Here are the current parts I have selected, including those I have no choice over, and other options: Try to keep suggestions within my available choices, but if my choices are all way off tell me. Also tell me if there's anything I'm missing.

Woohoo! A whole weekend of the maps I actually want to play!

I looked up WINE and it most definitely can run on macs, as macs and other OS's like it are what WINE is intended for and if I'm correct in what I'm reading it even comes pre-packaged on later versions of mac.

I honestly don't know, mostly because I don't know how different or similar windows and mac run. But as of now I can't see any reason why it wouldn't be able to.

If it's with 4.0, perhaps there's some code missing somewhere, and when this happens, the game/server is unsure what to do with it. Since it's essentially a mobile killzone, why not have the original code removed from the plane, and have it be just that, a flying killzone. Since I've never seen any issues with killzones in maps, this should fix the problem.

Earlier today I was playing on this map, and while flying around in a Banshee, the transport plane that drops off vehicles at the Airstrip ran into me in midair. But rather than die and respawn, I was left with my camera angle in the same position as when I was hit, and I had "GAMEPLAY PENDING" floating in the center of my screen. Everything was moving normally and I could see chat, but despite my perfect connection I still could not respawn. I ended up having to leave and rejoin the game to fix the problem. I will try to reproduce next time I see the map come up on the server and post a screenshot. As of now I am not sure if this is an isolated issue, map-specific bug, or server-side bug dealing with all air units.

The rebirth of the greatest FPS ever is upon us! All hail Renegade-X! Renegade shall NEVER die!
