I am taking a trip up to Seoul next weekend...just wanted to know if this game is available...played the demo....it was awesome! The only problem I noticed is RAM.....so I will pick up some extra ram, IF the game is in Korea.

Thanks!

I think i remember hearing bad things when it was compared to the original, so perhaps it'd be better just picking that up/sticking with it.

If you want a game with chest hair get Star Wars: Galaxies Very Happy I'm having severe withdrawals

Yeah, its out.
The Korean version has English language support, something I only found out after shelling out 65 bucks for an imported US version at Yongsan. Embarassed
The minimum spec needed to run the thing is pretty demanding:

I love the game.
Playes BF1942, Vietnam and now I built a system for max performance
for BF2.
The handle I use is "realgoo"
If there are any interested, we (those in Korea) should start up a server to minimize the ping, maximize the fun.

And I bought it online, can't remember the place.
But you can gotto http://www.ea.co.kr and find the game there.
Note that you will have to have a friendly Korean handy to help out since it is in Korean.
I bought it in Korean and it installed in English.

Well, you are almost there. DDR266?! For a P4?! Seeing as they have a 400Mhz bus, guess you have an older "Willamette" core.

Asus P4P800? That supports the 533 bus.

Most (if not all) mainboards support overclocking. I use Asus...they are overclocker friendly.

Anyhow, you will need an "older" board...one that supports the 533Mhz system bus (socket 478, I believe). Be careful when you shop...you don't want to be stuck with a mobo that only supports the 800Mhz Pentium 4s.

Stick with the big names....don't buy an Intel-made board. They, of course, don't support overclocking.

What kind of deals are there for motherboard cpu combos?

yeah...266...had a 333mhz 512meg chip...it went bad on me...had to take out the old ram..... Crying or Very sad

P4P800 supports 800mhz fsb. Thats what the 800 in P4p800 stands for Razz Sorry being a smart ass.

Wrench....being a smart one is ok, but please don't be a dumb one.

Razz

Check the specs on the P4P800...it's also backwards compatible. It came out at the transitional time between buses on the P4s. I said this one because it will go to 800 if the OP upgrades.

Ok I will look into that motherboard. Depending on my budget, i might be able to pick up a 800 fbz P4, ...or i might not... Crying or Very sad

Then I could stick with my current p4....



Thanks for the info and the link!
