Re: Considering getting first real credit card

Instead do this to build credit: Set up a SAVINGS ACCOUNT (anyone hear of these?!?!?) Preferably one that earns a little interest. Consider this your credit card in a sense. This was my mistake: I used the credit card like I was supposed to use a savings account. I didn't bother saving since I was ...

(... and the rest lay lots of traps for you to run up charges). Cash-back bonuses are a drop in the bucket compared to credit card charges. You have to be extremely disciplined to play that game and win. I'm not saying it can't be done. I'm just saying the most sophisticated, most deeply funded mar...

Re: Considering getting first real credit card

You shouldn't be afraid to open/have/use a credit card as long as you know how to be responsible and manage your spending. I highly recommend managing your account online though and not relying on the USPS to get you your statement and making your payments. I've been working in credit card customer ...

Re: Age of Conan

Once you reach lvl 20+ and leave n00b island (Tortage) I really think you'll like it even more. The world of Hyboria and it's regions are even better! The game has real potential IMO, and of course, you'll always hear more about the negative than the positive!

Re: Age of Conan

To OP: If you're not sure if you want to play the game and want real feedback on the game, I suggest waiting for some official reviews and not basing your decision on the people who have been playing only since launch (2 days ago, 5 days if you count early access) and/or beta.

Which AGP Card?? $50-$60

I gave some of my old computer parts to my uncle, and he needs an AGP video card. He's not a heavy gamer.. mostly plays Diablo2 and will possibly play WoW. He would like to only spend around $50-$60 on a video card. I found 2 cards that I think will fit his needs/budget: GeForce 6200 512mb GDDR2 vs ...

I'll second the MX518 recommendation! Very responsive, fits my hand nicely, and has plenty of buttons (moreso than the G5 I think). They're almost the same except that the g5 has a laser sensor (which you can adjust on the fly), tilt wheel, and weight tuning. IMO the g5 is better for $10 more. The ...

Tough choice, but I vote for the G7 since it comes with 2 battery packs, which would be better for gaming when/if you do decide to play em, as you would just pop in the charged battery pack without having to stop your gaming session (nice for MMORPG's, especially if you're in the middle of a dungeon...

Re: Which LCD? Samsung vs Dell 22"

I think I've found the right monitor for me :D
Gateway HD2200... it has HDMI, HDCP and only $350. I also use my monitor for my XBOX 360, so the HDMI is a plus. I did read the color performance is only mediocre, but I can't expect "top of the line" for this low price.
