ADDED NOTE:

If you get the error “the application has failed to start because d3dx9_37.dll was not found”, you must unfortunately grab the build from March 2008 of DirectX, which I found [ HERE ]

Download it, run it, and it should put the needed .dll file on your machine, and you should be able to play.

In case anyone is a subscriber or interested. I may sign up for 1 month just to get down with this, but notice how they don’t give a specific date for the Beta release… talk about a carrot before the horse… it could be 4 months before it comes out…. LOL

Another great deal for those in need: OCZ PC2 6400 800mhz memory 2gb kit – $21

If you have a CompUSA near you, they are running this deal, and another one on the next better range for $39.99

[ SITE LINK ] $21.99

[ SITE LINK ] $39.99

I picked up an extra set of the $21 ones to bring my rig to 4gb, and will probably be going Vista 64bit this weekend to be able to see the whole 4gb. I am hoping the timings are close to my Crucial Ballistix so that it doesn’t screw things up

EDIT: The $39.99 deal is for FOUR GIGABYTES of memory! I am taking this $21 deal back and getting the 4gb set to bring my rig to 6gb of memory under Vista 64bit.

Question for the [REG]s with newer rigs…

Does anyone have any experience with Vista yet? And namely how well it does with games, and is DX10 as much of a difference as the screenshots make it look? I understand that Vista is a RAM hog, but I haven’t been able to get DX10 to work with my winXP Pro, and I have tried a couple of packages I found that supposedly worked for others.

I was thinking about grabbing another set of Ballistix to jump to 4gb, then grabbing the 64bit version of Vista Home, but I wanted to see if anyone else has had any luck with it. I’ve read boatloads of complaints around, but you always hear more complainers than praisers. I may even buy a matching 8800GTS 640mb and go SLI, if I need to in order to get the detail that I am seeing in these DX10 screenshots.

Help a brutha out boyz…
