Even though I already had DirectX9.0c installed on my PC, it wouldn't load when I hit story or network mode. Reading on other forums people said installing the DirectX from the CD will fix it, and sure enough it did, hope that helps
Whoa I have nearly the same PC, only I have a 64 x2 3800+ still neat though. even the mobo.. wasn't some deal out of a mag or anything though.. strange.
