Do I need to bring network cables, hubs and stuff like that?

Pod,

I think Ian has us covered Hub wise, not sure about cables though

Losty · « **Reply #53 on:** May 16, 2006, 06:40:44 pm »

We were running short of cables at the last one, despite me taking 3!

My copy of BF2 arrived today.

But.... the damn thing won't work on my gf4 4200 video card

So, I might have to take a trip to PCWorld and see what I can find/afford.

I had to buy a grapphics card to support BF2 as well, Mate.

T'is worth it, though.

If you really really need to go to pcworld for a gfx card, visit their website and order it through that and pick it up in store, as it will be mucho cheaper!

I hate to say it........so i wont but you know

Same here had to upg my graphics car dot play it.......troiuble was new graphics card was AGP8 which needed a new mobo.....new mobo needed more power therefore new PSU needed....

BF2 = 30 quid (ish)
To play said game
New graphics card, ew motherboard, new psu = 300-400 approx!

Pod · « **Reply #68 on:** May 17, 2006, 09:32:27 pm »

Oh, don't get me wrong. I normally wouldn't go near pcworld with a barge pole.

However, I need an AGP card that will run BF2, as cheap as possible, and before this Saturday! That rules most options.

You said it needed a good video card. I was expecting it to run slowly, not refuse to work at all!
And anyway, I bought the game brand new for 18 quid.

LOL you are now entering the twilight zone

Pod · « **Reply #73 on:** May 18, 2006, 03:01:00 pm »

Right, I've bought myself a GF 6200 card today.
It complains about win2k not being supported, but I've read that others have got it to work. I'll not be happy if it doesn't....

Anything else I need to bring?
Any other games we're playing?

Any other that we'll be playing will most likely be free downloads like the wolfenstein one or that Battleracer mod for BF2 i'd imagine.
