Man. I hate when that happens. I was 20 mins into a fecking game game of FIFA 2004, after just installin my Radeon 9800XT when it fecking blew. Now i'm stuck with a GeForce FX 5200, but i like this card better ^_^
U like the geforce fx 5200......?????
That card is slow as hell it doesnt beat even a geforce 4 ti 4xxx.
And do certainly not compare 9800 XT with GF FX 5200, 9800 XT smokes the GF FX 5200 with ease.
Ontopic: Hahaha a motherboard burned of a half-life mod?
Yeah right that's impossible....
The server appearendly had serveral games running and possible serveral applications.(Does creating since the proccesor has to calculate serveral applications)
Normally if the heat can get out of the pc it wouldn't be a problem.
Possible the heat just didn't cool off and stayed in pc(no good warm-drainage), burning the motherboard.
I'm surprised that the processor didn't burn out
Usually that's the component that burns :/

well actually it was a NVIDIA 64 MG Graphics card, from the BIGGEST companies, i dont know which one, but i know it was expensive. and the motherboard was brand new..... what i am guessing is that the clien_trace had a "crash" or went too fast and when they met, the ps didnt start and the energy blasts were charging from a bug and when they were charged too much, BOOM.... i dontknow, thats my theory.
Ussually servers don't have good vid cards.
Server don't calculate (That's basicly what the mini-processor on a vid card does) the visual effects of game.
It's just register where guys are(Taking CS as example) and which direction there walking. And sending that data to the clients who recieving it and does showing where there are.(And ofcourse the physics, how should things fall, etc.) Also this explains lag.
If u don't have to big upload(Sending data to the server), your pc is forced to do it in small packs, does u're reaction is slowed down.
Also if u have a slow download(Recieving data from the server) U'll see things that allready happend 2 seconds orso ago.
But getting to the point.....server with a good vid card, bit strange...
It sounds if u're making this up :/
