Check out AI War Fleet Command. It is cheap, supports lots of players, has LAN play, and tutorials of about an hour to get you up and running (last time I checked.) It is an addictive 2D RTS game with a very customizable AI, everything from baby-soft to holy-crap-what-just-happened.
As others have said, get a Brother printer. I bought one about 8 years ago for $110 (an HL-2070n) and it hasn't missed a beat since the day I hooked it up. I got mine at Staples and they sent me a "we miss you - come buy some printer ink, oh wait, you bought a laser print.....never mind" n...
After the huge failures that were Win98 ME, and Vista and Windows 8's new forced UI, after decades of proprietary office document formats, after unexplained price increases in retail copies of their software, after the years of stagnant browser improvement that IE6t caused, after all the times I've ...
I've been using Ethernet over power lines for about ten years now. Never had a problem despite living in three different houses over those ten years. One was built in the 1920's and the other two after 1990. I have 8mb/sec cable and the power line kits have never bottlenecked my speeds. I put the wi...
I'm not entirely sure what the OP is talking about because the lack punctuation makes it all those confusing thoughts even more confusing. I play Minecraft on a Dell Insprion 720 laptop. It has an Intel Core 2 Duo CPU and Nvidia 8600GT graphics onboard. It plays without issues, with mods and with 32...
Over the holidays, I picked up 3 23" monitors and a Sapphire 7950 Flex video card, which lets me run three displays without having to resort to display port connectors. I've found glitches with nearly all games. The only game I have that isn't borking all over the place with locked cursors, scr...
Ronch, I had a similar problem with a Phenom II X4 965 system with an AMD 6850 video card. It would seem to run just fine when doing office-type stuff, but when I popped into a game like Borderlands 1 (not a system resource hog) it would run fine at 60fps, then drop to 10fps, then jump back up, then...
When I got laid off back in 2001 (.com crash), the credit companies didn't give two cents about me not having a paycheck. They wanted their money and dragged me through the mud. When I finally got a job, I had learned my lesson. I paid off all my credit, and the two cars, and the student loan. All I...
When you do an ipconfig what do you get? 0.0.0.0 usually means disabled network card/stack. 169.x.x.x usually means something broken in regards to DHCP. (when windows can't find a dhcp server, it grabs an address in the 169 network.) What anti-virus/internet security program do you use? Any chance i...
If you're going to play on a single monitor, yeah, a 1GB card like a 6870 is all you need. When you get into 3-screen gaming you'll need 2GB+ cards. HardOCP did some testing with Nvidia's 1.5GB cards and they did great on single screens, but couldn't keep up on 3-screen displays compared to an AMD C...
You should read this article first before dropping from 12GB to 8GB. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/ram-memory-upgrade,2778.html Their idea of using extra system ram as a ram drive to hold the swap file was interesting. They also tried disabling the swap file entirely with interesting results. ...
