I hate the server browser.
I hate that we have to use our Master EA ID.

Rebinding keys don't seem to work for me, it bugs the mouse and makes it disappear.
And I need a new gfx card asap.

I'm getting convinced that the crash is on purpose to mass dump ppl from servers and allow new players to get playing

Just keep refreshing, took me like 20 minutes to finally download. Also make sure you have an ea/origin account already setup.

For those of you looking for new GPU's.

XFX 6950 1GB - $214.99
eVGA 560Ti Superclocked - $224.99

Two really good deals, especially when you go to to Memory Express to PM the eVGA 560Ti.

Ya I finally got to download it and play! It's pretty awesome except it really looks like crap on my computer.

Should I work on just OCing my AMD Athlon X4 620s or should I upgrade to a 1100T? Would it make a big difference with CPU or should I just upgrade my graphics card to a 560Ti?

would this be a better option? http://www.ncix.ca/products/index.ph...c&promoid=1055

Your quad-core CPU should be fine. I'd get the new GFX card.

I kind of like eVGA more for their support, warranty and the fact that the S/Ced ones kick ass, but the PNY one is good too. The 6950 might be a better value for money for that price, as it has more raw power than the 560Ti.

Would it still be better to get the 6950 even though there are the better drivers for the 560ti for BF3?

Raw power. You can see that the 6950 above is slightly better than the 560Ti even though that benchmark is supposedly using the new nVidia drivers. They're both very close so the PNY is the best buy right now then.

Go the extra step and pay the extra $20 or so for a better company for better / longer warranty
even though the chances that videocards (non OC'd) will fail is highly unlikely, but its for better piece of mind or even better cooling (ex. Asus Direct CU, MSI Cyclone etc.)

damn class... need to play...
