    Sometimes in Bray, if you listen really really carefully, you can hear the sound of banjos dueling somewhere down South :p

    Maybe a nVidia GeForce GT 630 or 620 based card might do the job.
    If you were looking for a small, silent card that's low profile then maybe this one:
    http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-022-KF&groupid=701&catid=1914&subcat=

    Or this one which is a little better but larger, louder and cost a little bit more:
    http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-178-MS&groupid=701&catid=1914&subcat=

    Shop around and you might get them for less.

    Here's Skyrim running on the GT 620, not great but still runs.

    I took the liberty of picking out three particularly pertinent words from your post :o

    Arguably the best RPG on the PS2, only the Persona games are in contention. Unarguably better than Final Fantasy X :P

    They do technically support faster upload speeds but they can see right away if you somehow manage to mess with the upload speeds.
    I wouldn't risk it to be honest.

    Sigh. I just wish people just moved on from Star Wars. Especially the ones who just do nothing but whine about the prequels. Also:

    Hey, I don't go around with a picket sign proclaiming that Sony destroyed Sega. They brought themselves on this, years before with the Saturn. And it was the hype for the PS2 that only exasperated it.

    Also, Crystal Skull > Temple of Doom.

    Ah now you don't go posting stuff like that without a trollface. I like the regular show but saying something like that about a film beyond merit, you can't post it without this:

    I'm just saying that I moved on from Sega back in the day. After the Mega Drive, my next console was a PS1. And even though I wanted a Dreamcast, I only ever got to play it once at a Smyths (I think it was Soul Calibur). Settled with a PS2 in the end, mainly because of what was to come of the company.

    Nope. I am very serious about it. Say what you want about greaser LeBeef Stroganoff, he was much less annoying than that screaming wench of a woman and that kid. And all the fridge nukes in the world will never be as stupid as 3 people jumping out of a life raft, inflating in mid air and landing unscathed. It also contradicts Indy in Raiders with him saying that he doesn't believe in magic, even though he experiences it, first hand in Temple.

    I started watching Gravity Falls this week. It's good fun.

    The Blackwell games are on sale on GoG. Point and clickers that come recommended by Dinorex.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,695 ✭✭✭DinoRex


    Yep. It's a good price for all 4.

    They're currently working on the 5th one. The main character gets to wear a big coat and ear muffs in it so I'm guessing it's set in winter.

    blasphemy, the Saturn was, and still is Sega's best console.

    And the IT award for stupidity goes to..........



    Me:o


    Set up the new router and hd tv and done some speed tests on my new 150mb line

    1st result 75Mb dl
    2nd result 77Mb and so on but nowhere near 150

    Checked all the cables and was just about to grab the phone to tear upc a new one then the penny dropped

    There's a good chance the router is only 100mb as well, by the way.
