Re: Video Card for Flight Sim 2002 Pro

Don't you think the 7xxx series Radeon is a bit too overpowered for such an old ass game? I recommend sticking with IGP of any sort, Intel and AMD both would do just fine with that game.

Re: Dumbest Comments from Non-Tech Types

I had an argument some years ago with an idiot selling laptops at BestBuy. He kept telling everyone that Core Duo is a dual core processor so Core 2 Duo must be a quadcore. When I corrected him, it was as if I insulted his girlfriend. He got pretty defensive and kept saying I don't know what I'm tal...

Re: Laptop suggestions?

Thanks for the suggestions. I looked at a lot of cheap laptops at our local BestBuy and was horrified by what I saw. I guess I'm less concerned about resolution and more about the panel and viewing angles. Everyone appreciates quality screens. Given my budget tho, the Latitude 3000 looks very attrac...

Laptop suggestions?

Greetings. I'm looking to buy a new laptop for my mom to replace her 10 year old VIAO machine. I'm trying to keep the price below $500, since it's only being used for internet and emails. I'm trying to find something that at least has a decent screen, maybe a 1080p 13". I'm looking at Chromeboo...

Re: Flight 370

All the available evidence now points to an emergency on board the plane, a sharp turn and rapid decent back towards Malaysia. An under inflated tire could have easily caught fire on takeoff. This was a hot evening with a long runway and heavy load. A slow burning tire can create a lot of incapacita...

Re: R9 pricing

I was hoping to grab a R9 290 but it doesn't look like it's happening at these prices. I feel like I got a bargain when I grabbed a GTX 780 on sale for $430.

It really is a great phone, best I've used so far. Once you start watching videos and browsing the web, you will really appreciate the bigger screen and resolution. The S-Pen is great fun as well.
