not true, its a balance (bottleneck) issue. if you have a slower processor, it slows down the card also, i know vid cards have onboard VPU's, but it still relies ont eh processor for what to draw. the processor just doesnt have to draw it. by itself the VPU doesnt know how to access the data needed for its own calculations (aka HDD, System Memory) from what i understand the Processor hands off the data to teh VPU, and from the system memory to the videocards memory.

you people make me laugh  :laugh: you should have learned video card is more important than processor.

not to be too much of a pester but if you any of you guys got a scanner and the boxed copy would you scan the box (front back and left side) and one of the discs please for a dvd case and label for people who preloaded?

thats the way its always been you make a game publisher gets most of the money you make a cd and the record label makes most of the money. world isnt a pretty place but valve is fixing that. I say who puts in the most sweat deserves an equaly worthy slice of the pie :)

Quick question:

Does one have to activate hl2 everytime its installed?

Say one without an inet connect gets a temp inet isp accnt to activate, will one have to reactivate the damn thing after a format or decides to reinstall ?

Yes. Welcome to online activation. At least Microsoft gave you a free toll free number to use your modem to connect directly to or call and type it in manually.

Heh, it must so suck for those not able to activate it. At least it seems they have an option with M$ giving peeps a toll free # accorind to what you say.

Hell, I feel bad for those without being able to get online at all. I'd go nuts without my fix. :p

    • What browser do you prefer to use, and why?

      By +Edouard · Posted

      The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?

      Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with adblockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Opera Air'. It still has some bloat, but nowhere near as much as Brave browser, for example. I have a system wide Adblocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the the web browser, but over the whole thing. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt adblocker because of that.

      I'd trust open source stuff on github more then closed source binaries from Microsoft.
