OFP2 is actually a decent game. It plays a little like Ghost Recon or Rainbow Six. I also have ARMA II, just picked it up this weekend. I got through the first 2 missions, and I'm kinda stuck on the first city map, and it's pretty jerky... I'm running a core i7 920, with 6gb of ram, and a...

I'm really impressed with the 5870, it doesn't even feel like I'm pushing it that hard, there's no hiccups or anything... it just chews through everything. I'm kinda curious what 2 of these things would do :D

got my computer up and running, and all i have to say is damn... crysis looked like crap on my old computer and ran like crap too... now it looks awesome, runs super smoothly at 1920x1200. I also picked up Operation Flashpoint 2, and I'm totally addicted to gaming again... There goes my...

i'm planning on picking up a 2nd monitor better quality monitor for photo editing later on. I chose the Asus monitor for several reasons, the first being it supports HDMI, Component, and DVI inputs, the second because it was decently priced, and third, because it was available from amazon with...

the wait is killing me.. i just ordered yesterday... got all my parts off amazon... amazingly the prices were on par with newegg and zipzoomfly, but i get free shipping (to hawaii)... newegg was gonna charge me almost $150+ for shipping! I just need to wait about 1.5 weeks!!!

great, that's what i wanted to hear... my previous upgrade, was only about 1 or 2 generations apart, and i wasn't too happy with the performance jump... i've been sitting and waiting for quite some time now, biding my time playing with my ps3 and xbox360... but i've been itching to get back on...

Kind of a dumb question... but I've gone on hiatus for awhile not really gaming or upgrading my computer for quite some time... been busy getting married, and buying a house... my old computer is spec'd: AMD 4200 X2 2gb of ram readeon x850xt 18" 1280x1024 samsung monitor (haha, its been...

I'm using my ASUS VW266H with my Xbox360 and PS3... I got if for $280 from Amazon... It's a 26" 1920x1200 monitor... runs pretty good... It has HDMI and Component video inputs and built in speakers if you care... There is a 24" model that runs 1920x1080 that's about $220... VW246H...

I just bought mine from Amazon for $280 with free shipping (2nd day shipping to Hawaii!). I was going to order from Newegg, but they require minimum 2nd day shipping and they were going to charge me $70 for shipping... Also, from what I've been reading, Amazon has a great return policy (30...

I could use an upgrade... :( saving for a wedding, so can't afford diddly... come to daddy!

Ok this might be a stupid question... But is it possible for the PPU to speed up lighting calculations and rendering in programs such as 3d Studio or any similar modeling and rendering program or plugin? I'm assuming it can easily calculate each bounce of light which should greatly speed up the...

How'd you get $150 off the 28-135mm? The triple rebate on the lens is only $45 ($15 x 3) if I read the rebate form... You get $225 for the camera ($75 x 3). And the printer $45 ($15 x 3)or $75 ($25 x 3) depending on which on you buy... Anyways, I got the 28-135mm and the Rebel XT for Xmas...

Sorry for all the confusion... My PSU is 20 pin and my mobo is 24 pin... I did find a local store that carried the adapter... The voltage and system seem pretty stable so I think it worked for me... Thanks for offering to mail an adapter to me... but I just couldn't wait... I've been...
