I just checked a couple of my Gmail accts (don't use them that much) ... and found that instead of 5 invites they normally give me to give away ... I now have <b>50!</b> ... which means I probably have several hundred ... he<b></b>ll, I don't know that many people ... much less have that many friends ... so if you guys want a bunch of these email acct invitations ... just email me or PM me ...

This has got to stop ...

Ned_Flanders and Me have got 50 invites, too. I gave away 3 of them few days ago, and no it's 50 again!

That's an outrage! Before long, people won't even have to know the secret handshake to get one of these any more! I feel like such a commoner now! AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!

Holy sh!t, so have I. WTF?! Last I looked, when they buried the invites down the l/h side, I had about 3 to give away. Hope they don't keep multiplying.

Can't check mine from here. Is it still just a little number somewhere that you'll surely ignore after a few times (like subject lines & titles here), or something actually annoying, making it a damned nuisance?

I only have 6 to give away. This is completely unacceptable. These people need their kids to see this!

It's not normal at all. There was a time invites were the rare gems people needed to share the wealth. Err, not so much now.

They should fix this. This "endless" power reserve any user can have with gigs of space is not really tempting me to ever switch, honestly. Too much of a good thing just sucks.

People are selling and trading gmail invites. I'm all for them swamping the market. The beta might be over soon.

MAN, I don't have any, what's up with that?Are they displayed on the front page or where?
Guess you have to use it longer than I have. I have some friends that want to check it out too!
How could you give away a block of invites, don't you have to do the inviting yourself?

Mine have started to count down now but I sent invites to my whole family before I lost one invite. Way down to 49 now...

:cool: Man!!!!! Doesn't that thing weigh a ton!!!! Your ahead of me... Dam.... I haven't loaded a game, yet to see on the new rig.... I'm finishing up the last of the 4 machines right now... All I've done so far is 3Dmark with it.. I've never seen 3Dmark look so good though...

I am a fan of Nvidia, always have been...It seem every cycle I need a card, it ends up Nvidia is the one I get.. There's nothing wrong with ATI though....

Morning to ya TT!!!!

I know how it is when you get the bug.... Just can't wait!!! My son is going through the same thing.. His bonus is coming the end of the month & he can't order until then... So he's keeping me updated daily on the CPU's & boards... He's even worse than you are.... He's had his hands on my rig & has felt the speed!!!! He's more than likely in worse shape than you waiting, because of it...

I'm not.... I don't even know what I've got yet... I did load Steam back up this morning... Stupid Steam Backup backed up everything alright, but the saved games... :frown: So starting over again.. I took what settings the game gave my card.. I think it's 8 x AA & 2 x AF... Very playable.. So much to look at now... It's a tad jaggy at that speed though.. Going to have to play with the settings a bit...

I miss SoundStorm though... The solution on the MSI, a97, isn't as good as the SoundStorm I've always ran on XP chips... Not bad, but not as good... :frown:

Yeah Soundstorm was quite a chip apparently, and nVidia was criticized for it not being in nF4.

On the power lines that are all through the first levels.. That's what the game defaulted my card to.. So I accepted it to see what it would look like at HL2's settings. I don't have a bit of problem with speed or shooting in the game now.. Seeing things that I couldn't / didn't the first 2 times I played through....

The A97 isn't as robust at all.. btw I've got the Nforce 3 chip set.. The bass isn't as deep & rich as the SoundStorm.. I also don't like having to go 3 or 4 places adjusting the various volumes & such... SoundStorm had all the controls on one panel.. I can't seem to get the mike to working on my clients machine.. It works fine on mine, but I can't get his to working right for some reason.. theres a new release driver on MSI's site I'm going to up grade him to, hopefully that will take care of it..

You sure are taking a long time to put together this "first of the year" rig. Time to start putting in more than 6 hours a week at Staples.
