[Red Intensity]

I think you need 2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 slots on a motherboard in order for the board to have SLI. The PCI Express x16 slot is probably made for older graphics cards, kinda like old-school PCI slots.

Well the answer to "Will my new PC run Crysis" is NO!

Why?

BECAUSE ROYAL MAIL HAVE LOST MY ****ING PACKAGE.

Got to wait 15 days worth of Mon-Fri before I can even claim for it as well. What's more ANOTHER thing that was posted on the same day has gone missing as well.

The post managed to lose a package I sent to my sister before xmas as well... Royal Mail are bloody hopeless.

Happened with me, I ordered a parcel from amazon on the 7th Dec. Didn't get it until the 29th. I wasn't at home because it was my nephew's first birthday. So tried to get them to redeliver it for last Wednesday, never arrived, hope it got sent back to amazon or I will end up paying double for what I ordered. Had to get a replacement, which actually the replacement was ordered before the original came because I thought it lost in the post.

Seriously, everytime I use amazon, my orders always get ****ed up, but it is the only place to get most books that I can think of.

My books arrive rather quickly from Amazon... and from Baen Books too... Usually less than 30...

SECONDS!

Yup... hit the "One Click" button and less than 30 seconds later it appears on my Kindle via Whispernet.

Can't beat that for delivery heh...

ALL HAIL THE MIGHTY KINDLE! Best piece of kit for readers out there!

My sister says that Royal Mail are working through a huge backlog because of the snow before Xmas would you believe.

OK, here is something confusing... Overclockers got the specs wrong on my mobo...

Expasion slots: 2x PCIe 2.0 x16 Slots, 2x PCIe x1 Slots & 3x PCI Slots (Supports ATI CrossFireX Technology)

... and yeah they got Expansion named wrong too heh.

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-248-GI

Yet here is what the spec REALLY is for this motherboard...

   1. 1 x PCI Express x16 slot, running at x4 (PCIEX4_X1)
   2. 1 x PCI Express x16 slot, running at x16 (PCIEX16)

      (The PCIEX16 slot conforms to PCI Express 2.0 standard.)
   3. 3 x PCI
   4. 2 x PCI Express x1

Looks like it supports Crossfire but not SLI...

No offense, but i've had much more better luck when it came to most/ if not all services here in the us, neo. lol.

You should vacation here to get your packages/stuff built. hahaha.

Me, may seem odd, but I prefer the feel of paper when it comes to books.

I agree here, is most likely right, but when you ask them to redeliver something, you expect it to be done so.

The one thing that companies should do when there are problems delivering (whether it is Royal Mail or a courier service) is OWN UP TO PROBLEMS and not hide them. Customers respond a lot better when they admit to having problems and only a small amount will complain. But when they hide the fact that they are having problems and then the customers get pissed off ringing the couriers or Royal Mail then it causes more annoyance.

Apparently new items added to the deliveries are being delivered right away... older ones are being delivered when they can... LIKE WTF?

Crisis Maximum Edition arrived today... and does it run on my new PC?

HELL YES!

It even runs at maximum on all the options... I AM HAPPY!

Only problem is that I am out of practice using keyboard and trackball heh... oh and I can't find my Nostromo either.

I'm now playing Crysis 1 again... on my 360. The port is pretty darn good too as it is using CryEngine3 that was used for Crysis 2.
