    Fallout 3 and XP 64 bit

    Sorry I never followed up on this... Since trying to fix this issue, I have crippled my XP boot and have not yet been able to get back into Windows. Now I am running Ubuntu and sadly just looking at my FO3 and Bioshock discs.. The steps I took were to uninstall and reinstall FO3 (checking the...

    Fallout 3 and XP 64 bit

    I'm running XP Pro 64-bit edition and so far it's been a giant headache, but I haven't gotten my hands on a XP pro 32-bit disc yet. Before I installed the FO3 1.1 patch tonight, I could play the game and it looked and ran fine, well, ran fine if you ignore it randomly crashing and dropping...

    I actually was advised from someone in an XKCD irc chan to buy the xfx 8800GTS card (i bought an older model than he recommended but oh well) It runs fine and looks good. Picked up two 120mm case fans at the same time (only had one 80mm case fan before) one is 18db and one is 14 db, so they...

    Fallout 3. Is it really so bad?

    I guess what scares me the most about playing it is that I have never touched EverCrack, didn't enjoy WoW, and am generally not a fan of MMOs. I played Morrowind to the extent of a spent 25 minutes designing my character, forgot to save, decided to be a jerk and try robbing the first...

    Fallout 3. Is it really so bad?

    a rant by any other name.... It seems every group I'm involved in hits this "purist" flamewar... I glanced through this thread and felt it was the best place to put my $0.02 in: I'm a FO1/2 person myself. I loved those games for their simplicity. They didn't need state of the art graphics...

    Comp Hardware..
