    Windows 7

    You were raeding my mind Custard, I thought I would buy a new drive to install. For the life of me to install a new OS and to have to buy at the top end - to get backward compatibility, has got to be bananas - but maybe it's just me.

     

    Checked the compatibilty site from MS - they don't list ARMA or OFP - either as compatible or not - marvelous.

    Here is my issue, there are three PC's at home:- mine, my son's and my daughter's

     

    I run XP Pro, my daughter has Vista and my son goes between vista and Win7 RC.

     

    I have seen a three user licence - the family pack at £129, but it is an upgrade, not a full pack - does this mean if I was to undertake a clean install I have to put the old operating system on, before I can then use the Win7 upgrade. This is a ball-ache but not a problem as I do have legit copies of all software.

     

    Is there a family pack of the full programme? Or am I, as I suspect, going to have to cough for three seperate OEM packs?

     

    Advice from this great community appreciated

    I googled it, as my Greek does not pass muster

     

    Wiki :-

     

    The Greek phrase Molōn labe! (Μολὼν λαβέ; approximate Classical Greek pronunciation [molɔ̀ːn labé], Modern Greek [moˈlon laˈve]), meaning "Come and take them!" is a classical expression of defiance reported by Plutarch in response to the Persian army's demand that the Spartans surrender their weapons at the Battle of Thermopylae. It corresponds roughly to the modern equivalent English phrase "over my dead body," "bring it on" or, most closely, "come and get it." It is an exemplary use of a laconic phrase.

    COD MW2 (NO DEDICATED SERVER EVER) P2P only !

    The petition is up at 72,000 - that is a lot of missed revenue if everyone who says they aren't going to purchase, doesn't.

     

    I am watching with baited breath to see if the power of population can change the minds of the board-room, their own forums stack an incredible number of flames and boasts it's own petition of 34,000 players, some of whom represent sizeable clans.

     

    no dedi server - no mods - no choosing which maps to rotate - no thank you

     

     

    New GFX card ordered

    5850 is installed, maxed the resolution and turned up everything to "very high" runs smooth at 25 FPS, I too have turned of Fraps. Game looks the dogs danglies.

     

    I was concerned about noise from the new card - no need, running quietly

     

    I was concerned about heat - no need to be hasn't got past 65

     

    I was concerned about swapping from Nvidia - time will tell

     

    So, all systems are go and I will be putting it through it's paces over the next couple of days

    This is interesting for two purposes, I thought long and hard before swapping what I consider to be almost a religous following toward either Nvidia or ATi. I still have a pang of doubt about the swap - honest it becomes that ingrained - even though I know the card will provide cracking performance.

     

    Secondly there are some great comments on other set-ups that players have tried and the results they obtained, which are invaluable first person experiences to others, without the normal "mines better than yours" sub-text.
