I cannot play this anymore. The splash screen asks me to insert a XIII Disc - I tried all 4 - no luck. I even put one disc in each drive (I only have two drives) but still got nowhere.
So I decided to uninstall and start afresh. Now I can't Install the damn thing!
I get to disc 2 and the installation fails due to 'cyclic redundancy check' or something like that. I have come across that in the past and I can't remember if I managed to find a solution.
Is the disc knackered? Is it one or (gulp) both of my drives? Or is it that stupid protection device I've heard of, where it won't work if you have more than one optical drive in your machine?
Please help! If it's the disc(s), I'll have to go return it quick.

Erm... you will upgrade the graphics, won't you?
Of course! I got my GeForce4 to put in there.
It's great. I can't wait. It has everything I need and it's so small. I don't give a toss about 'big rigs' with clear panels, neons, glow-in-the-dark mobos etc.
Plus, it'll go nicely with the Flat panel monitor I just had to fork out for!

Yup, I know exactly how you feel. As long as it's small and powerful, it will stand proud. Though it might be a bit louder than you would expect, epecially when playing games.
Loud?
They're supposed to be really quiet aren't they?
Oh well, surely it can't as loud as the big mess sitting at home (it vibrates FFS!).

Na, probably not, I did have it right next to me when playing, so if it's under the desk or on the ohter side of the room it should be dead quiet (ish).
*other
So what model you got then?
SN41G2, it was an Athlon. I've sold it now though, after damaging the mobo.
Think I looked at that model. Decided I'd stick with P4 for now though. Might go for an Athlon 64 (or whatever is out) next time I upgrade.
The Athlon 64 specs were impressive, rivalling and beating 3.2 Ghz P4s with a 2.2Ghz chip. But uitl more 64 bit apps are released, then I'm happy. Which is just as well, as I'll be broke for the next five or so years (possibly forever actually, damn rise in fees).
