  • Sadly, WoW is the best game out there right now, at least until Warhammer Online is released.

    WoW = Waiting on Warhammer. As soon as the open beta starts, my WoW account is going in the freezer.

• • Beta, anyone else having a hard time?

  • When I tried activating my beta key, it said that it has already been used. I'm awaiting someone from support to contact me, seems a few people, even staff members have looked at my post on the thread, but aren't responding.

    LOL Talk about an exaggeration. But anyways, I doubt getting enough ram to load a MMORPG client like Warhammer Online onto a ramdisk, while also having enough to spare for normal system RAM is going to be easy, while also being able to use gaming oriented hardware on the motherboard, that seems difficult. So, I think getting 8GB of ram will be enough for me since it's so cheap, and it would definitely futureproof my system for a long time, considering that I'm also getting a Geforce 9800 GX2, and a Intel Core 2 Quad E6600.

• • The quest to create the ultimate MMORPG gaming rig

  • I suppose my theory is kinda overkill, perhaps I have just been playing games like Lord of the Rings Online, which seem to be inadequately coded for loading texture files to memory in a speedy fashion without causing stutters on the fly. Or, perhaps my hard drive is just getting old; as is all my hardware, second best stuff that I bought 3 years ago. Perhaps getting one of those SATA2 seagate barracudas with a 32mb cache will help with the bottlenecks, I only have a SATA2 western digital with a 16mb cache.

    I plan on running Vista Ultimate 64 bit, would it be worth it to get 8gb of ram? And for all you Vista haters, I'll also have 32 bit XP Pro on dual boot to fall back on if I experience any compatibility issues.

    Perhaps, with certain MMORPGs that don't pack all their game files into a pack file (like WoW), I could find some way to force load all the player models, textures, sounds associated with all armor, equipments and abilities used in the game into the memory, as that seems to be what is swapped around the most in memory during gameplay; causing the stutters.

• • The quest to create the ultimate MMORPG gaming rig

  • Well, I have heard in the past with smaller video games, like FPS, where gamers would load the entire game onto a RAMdisk so they would have instant load times to have an edge against the competition. But, what I'm wondering is; Could you actually load Windows Vista onto Mac hardware like that?
