Just an FYI for you all. I upgraded my SB5100 Modem to a 5120 and had a big problem. The modem worked fine for everything exept BF2. CS source was fine, but with BF2 I kept getting connection problems all the time. I tried Reinstalling the game 20 times(with various changes :( )3 different 5120's, 2 new routers(opening ports/blah blah), 2 new NIC's, A totolly different PC, ect........ with no change. Anyway, I finally decided to buy another SB5100 and Everything is back to normal. Cox Cable Tech support thinks I am retarded since all my ping tests and what not looked fine with all the 5120's. I think they were sick of activating new modems for me :) That all aside I am here to tell you my story in case it helps another member out. So if any of you every have this issue or know someone that does lemme know. I need to know I was not alone on this one. TY

LOL - BF2 "breaks" another piece of hardware. I had to back off my o/c 100MHz for it. Every other game and program was rock-solid stable except that whoring thing - can run Prime for days, play FEAR for hours, BF2 crashes in 10 minutes.

Set your Affinity to a single core if you have a dual core setup, i was going crazy just like you untill i did that.

Not running a DC. Just a Opty 148. Trust me it is ALL in the modem. At least in my case.
