Never used it. My brother in law used it when he was living with us and it completely screwed up my gaming. It got to the point I would have to turn off his machine so I could play my internet games.

I was brought up in Malaysia, ie standard week had Chinese, Malay, Indian and English type meals. The treat was the American Burger when they first opened up, since that was rare had to travel 20 miles by bus to get to it. Burger and an A&W Root Beer Float. Now I live in California, every type o...

The last Morrowind I played was boring. Why should I get it? Probably look good at 2560x1600 resolution but if it is boring it would be a waste of time. Doubt if I would have a problem running it. FX60 GF7800GTX512-SLI all water cooled.

Turning 45 in a few months. Don't tell me I am the oldest fogie here.

I had the exact same problem with my new system a few weeks ago. I did what Forge said. Power up with mobo+cpu = beeps, indicates CPU and mobo working. then it was power up with mobo+cpu+1 dimm. Went thru that 4 times since I had 4 dimms. on dimm #3 system refused to power up. It had developed a sho...

I went to that movie with the expectation that I would not like it, story line being what it was. The movie was very well directed, with outstanding acting by all, although I think John Hurt went a little overboard. Overall I would give it 4 stars out of 5.

Most of the kids probably have too much caffine, and sugar in their diet. A few probably have real problems.

I know they had XP running on IntelMac's ages ago in the Apple Labs. Always wondered what all the bruha was about.

Does the SF software run as a background process even if you are not running the game? One problem I had while I had X3 installed was that it was taking my machine several minutes to shutdown. Once I removed X3 it now shuts down in a few seconds. I was blaming SF for this, but if it is not SF's then...

I did read on some other forums that SF objects to older versions of SF on the same machine. ie you cannot have any older games with SF on your machine the same time you are playing your new SF DRM'ed game. Personally I have 10 game loaded on my machine and in a week play at least 4-5 of them. I hat...

Heh, most rediculous thing I saw at EB was them selling a "used" copy of Guild Wars. Now how does that work?

If you want eye candy, download the game demo's and play them. You get the same eye candy and don't have to pay for them. If it turns out you like the game, then you can splurge. For now I think the best game out there is Galactic Civilizations II. Decent amount of eye candy not a lot and loads of f...

Not sure if any standard AGP cards support the monitor. You need DDL cables and card with a two TDMS transmitters on one port. nVidia built a custom 6800 for Apple that did this. You might check with ASUS to see if their 6800Ultra had a two TDMS chips on one of its ports. The GF7800GTX's mostly have...

Probably because it is meant for LCD monitors only.

PETA are a bunch of idiots and traitors to mankind as far as I am concerned. Animals are food, or raw materials or entertainment. I have eaten a large variety and have killed, skinned and cooked animals myself. Lazy no, efficeint yes. You are talking about killing off about 4 billion humans in order...

I have a Panasonic 42" plasma that is about 6 years old. It was one of the first sets to go on sale. There is a definite orange tint to the screen from burn in. It is especially noticable when shots of the sky are on the screen. LCD's do not fade much, my oldest LCD computer monitor is still pretty ...

I started out in the Mac World. First PC I ever owned was a Mac 128. Switched to PC's when that Pepsi guy killed off Apple's dominance of the game market. (Mac's had the best games at that time). I play games exclusively on the PC's now. However to get real work done I have always used Unix or Linux...

Tried searching for the DLL file in the machine where it works and copying that over?

Actually my math was off, I did the calculation linearly. Its actually the square of the linear shrink, that basically doubles the number of dies on a single wafer. ie +113% increase in number of dies per wafer. If their failure rate is the same or better they more than double the number of die's th...

That is a profession where a single mistake can cost you your life the life of a buddy or a whole lot of strangers and a quite a few millioin $$$. I have heard stories of jet jocks riding their jets down into the ground instead of ejecting becuase it would mean letting the plane crash into a densely...

A conversion to a smaller process leads to an increase in chip production per wafer. ie there are more "die's" they can get out of a single wafer. That shrink will up the number of die on a wafer by about 35-40%. That is an inrease of 17-20 million units.

The higher capacity format is NOT needed. I mentioned before, that the MPAA is using MPEG2 for the videos, instead of H.264 or some other higher compression codec where they can drop the space requirement. All the DRM is not about combating piracy, it is about charging you multiple times for the sam...

FYI: Speaking of Gilligan's Island, if you watch Lost, transpose the characters from Gilligan's Island into Lost sometime. I found some amusing correlations.

So according to this article, there are NO Vista ready GRFX cards on the market right now. http://www.firingsquad.com/hardware/ati_nvidia_hdcp_support/ He quotes nVidia The boards themselves must be designed with an extra chip when the board is manufactured. The extra chip stores a crypto key, and y...

No point in buying Blu-Ray or HD-DVD unless you have a TV that displays 1080p. If you have a plasma TV that does 720x480, standard DVD's are all you will need. What the MPAA & company want you to do is pay for the entire collection again in the higher definition. The DVD player manufacturers can...

Probably buy Vista, never would buy Halo or Halo2.

Yup, I remember that drive, got it somewhere in my closet. Really useful back in the day of all the DRM'ed CD's. Just kept 4 master play CD's in there and could switch games automatically. Now I just use CloneCD and Daemon Tools or use hacked binaries. I really hate having to hunt for CD's when I ge...

I use a 37GB 10K RPM disk for OS, games and windows. For data I have 2x400GB Seagates. For more data I have a TerraStation.
