While were at it, I'd like to find a "nice" set of 17's for my civic.

nice = $200-300 tires not necessary.

or, I'll rock stealies if someone can find a b16a1 local :-)

ramrod--nice setup...that's some quick stuff.

[MnAiXsImMoA]

is counter strike still around online?

[ShortysTRM]

If you want cheap wheels, try edgeracing.com. I doubt you'd get 17's for that price, but maybe some ultra-light 15's. That should be all you'd ever need with an older Civic.

Very true, but a 64mb card in a 750mhz machine, helps improve system performance...this isn't a gaming machine...obviously....lol...

Even 128MB is a waste of money, if you're really into gaming. I have 512MB video memory and 2G system memory (RAM), and can still only turn EQ2 about halfway up. They said it will be 3-5 years before anyone can even build a machine capable of running it full-scale.

Thats crazy....

I had no idea....

I never thought that that gaming industry would outperform the hardware industry...althoughh I am well aware that is what drives the computer world...

Besides, who needs 2gb of memory and a 512 card to surf the web and chat on aim.......lol

lol

well my amd can run halfl ife 2 with it turned all the way and half life 2 is one of the mot graphic intensive games out there. EQ2 might be alittle bad because of the mmo factor, because i play Worlds of Warcraft and it stutters alittle but once i move inside a building where it takes it from the hard drive its bautiful but once im outside where the lag can get to it its starts to chug alittle. And the amd only has 256mb graphics card and 1 gig of ddr400 ram.
