No command prompt whatsoever? Or just no NTVDM. NTVDM has worked like crap since service pack 2. I use DosBOX even on 32-bit Windows because it does a lot better job at DOS programs.

So all this stuff about flash not working is not true? Even for the 64-bit browsers? What about IE7 64-bit and is there a 64-bit version of firefox?

I have a new hard drive comming in, and I have a legal copy of Win XP Pro x64 edition sitting in my desk. Would it be safe to give it a go? Or is driver support still too shaky to really consider it. Thanks for any replies.

I knew somebody would bring this up. On newer games, it barely makes it. Oblivion, Call of Juarez, Call of Duty 2, and F.E.A.R. Extraction Point are three prime examples. I have to play them at medium settings and I can't even think about turning on AA, just to get them playable at...

What about the 7900GTX? I like the price tag of it a lot better. Something makes me cringe when i think about spending over $400 on a graphics card. Is it worth getting the 7900GTX at this stage, or am I better off paying an extra hundred for the GX2?

I have a 7800GT now. It would still be a suffice card, except for one thing. I have a 19" 1280x1024 LCD and WILL NOT turn down the resolution because it looks disgusting. My 7800GT is starting to show its age I slide the resolution bar higher than 1024x768 on these new games. I am even more...

People who demand 1280x1024 or higher usually have LCDs that have that native resolution. Thats why I demand it and am a bit worried about playing Oblivion at 1280x1024 on my 7800GT at near high settings, sacrificing HDR and soft shadow effects to increase performance. People with CRTs can...

6800GS hands down. I went from X800 Pro to 6800GT then to 7800GT. I noticed more of a difference between my X800 Pro and 6800GT than between my 6800GT and 7800GT. 6800GS performs on par with the 6800GT stock and performs better when overclocked.

Don't get an X800 Pro. I bought one when they were still $400, and believe me, that card sucks. I ugraded to a 6800GT from the X800 Pro and the 6800GT was like a whole generation faster. The X800 Pro was a good deal when compared to the 9800XT series. It sucks when compared to any of the...

Get the 6800GS hands down. I have had an X800 Pro, a 6800GT, and a 7800GT. The X800 Pro was like an older generation in comparison to the 6800GT and 7800GT. The 6800GS performs on par with the 6800GT. It will allow you to max out all games at 1280x1024 2x AA or 1024x768 4x AA and not have a...
