In this day of constant virus scanning and attacks, I need a dual core setup just so I can play my games while the virus scanner is running in the background. I got an FX-60 instead of the FX-57 for that very reason. I got PO'ed at all the times I was in the middle of a game and a scanner kicked off...

I think you lost all 3D capablity on that video card.

Most games I have tried work in compatiblity mode. The only one I found that did not work so far was due to incompatibility with NTFS. It required a FAT32 filesystem to run.

Tried finding the degauss button and using it?

Tom's is still on my bookmarks, but I have switched to reading AnandTech and other reviewers for a while now. Have really had a hard time reading the articles at Tom's.

I want more space based strategy games like Homeworld. Hundreds of ships fighters all flying around in 3D!

Kind of noticed that show up, especially on Slashdot and a few other forums I visit. Those people can get torn to shreds if they try to promote the wrong thing on certain forums.

I found Goku's list a little short. :) I have been collecting Animae since before DVD's. I have them on VHS, LVD and now DVD. Have something on the order of 100 VHS, 50 LVD, 500 DVD's of Animae. Converted most of my VHS tapes to DVD, will do the same with my LVD's once I get my laser disk player wor...

Best: Homeworld.

I liked Starcraft a lot but I spent more time on Homeworld and really played it as a multplayer game. Starcraft I mostly played solo.

AOEIII sucks.

DOW Rocks.

Rise of Nations: I like.
Mech Commander I&II: Loads of fun.

Watched Underworld:Evolution last weekend. It is a continuation of the previous movie Underworld and was worth seeing for me.

Civilization IV!

I would suggest a good pair of noise cancellation headphones.

The machine has 4GB of RAM, only 2.5 GB is visible since it is just WinXP Pro. If I switch to 64bit I will be able to see the 4GB. However I just got the machine yesterday so I am just trying stuff out now. I will probably have an alternate 64 bit Linux boot instead.

You do not need SLI to run that at 1920x1200. I have a 23" monitor and until yesterday was playing on a GF6800Ultra. A single GF7800 should do the trick for you. Or you could wait a month or two for the new cards to come out. Reason I upgraded my comp and cards is to go to 2560x1600 resolution.

Note: WoW, buy the game get 1 month free. But in order to play that 1 free month you have to give them your CC number etc..

Picked up a 1GB USB Flash drive at Fry's on Black Friday for $25.

The 4GB and 8GB versions will be out later this year.

What do you wear? Is it made of natural or synthetic fibers? Are you allergic to certain metals? Some people are allergic to stainless steel.

I do not drink any alcohol, soda or coffee. I also do not smoke nor gamble but that is off topic. I used to drink, but got so drunk once that I woke up not knowing where I was. Never drank alcohol again. I was 16 or 17 at that time.

First production rollout of SED TV's is supposed to be the middle of this year. The manufacturing cost for SED TV is significantly lower than LCD and OLED. This may bring down the total cost of Plasma and LCD TV's.

Before you reformat, do you have a version of windows that supports your SATA drives natively? I use win2k and it requires that I have a driver floppy before it will recognize my SATA drives.

Break it down to entertainment $$$. Your computer system not included, what is your value of the entertainment in $$$/hour? Is it worth it? GW has a much lower $$$/hour than WoW. However compare that with going to a movie. Where you shell out $10 for a ticket and another $10 for popcorn and a soda f...

The characters floating off the ground is an engine fix. They do that all the time and it will not be part of the expansion. The expansion is for content and extra characters.

I watched this episode of Smallville where Clark catches a car in mid air. Ok, if I suspend disbelive and agree that a alien such as a Krptonian exists. He catches the car and does not leave a mark on it????? The car is supposed to be normal. He would have crushed the engine compartment or at the ve...

I am currently using a 23" SONY, will probably get the Dell 30" or Apple 30" next week. Have been using LCD's for year's now. I still have a 18" DTI2018XLQ. It was my first LCD monitor.

Awsome LCD monitor for 3D games.

Star Trek has always had sound in space {phaser fire, photon torpedoes and tractors all make sound}, similarly Star Wars etc.. The TV series BSG has sound in space only from the point of view of someone inside a ship hearing bits of debri bouncing off his/her ship. No sounds from lasers, rail guns o...

I collect knives. I have an handmade ivory handled switchblade that I like a lot. Very smooth action and easy to handle. I have an obsidian knife, an Gurkha Kukri, a chinese sword, a tanto, a kris and wwII bayonet and a few others.
