    what to do if my cd key is being used by another account

    I purchased a bunch of new computer parts. I also purchased some pc games to test the prowess of my new graphics card. Previous to this, I was only playing games released on 2004 or prior to that. Some of my problems or worries : 1. One of that games I bought was Batman Arkham City. The...

    Best Buy Cuts 2,400 More Jobs

    Amazon isn't a good example. For one, Amazon is an online retailer. Amazon focuses its entire efforts on the Internet. Best Buy has mostly a physical presence. When you're running physical stores, your business overhead will be a lot higher and your prices will have to reflect that. Unlike the...

    jerky video from SD memory card

    Just to add more details to my original post: This system doesn't have a memory card slot. My only method of transferring files from camera/memory card to system is through usb 2.0, using a micro-usb connector. Again, the largest video file from the camera would not transfer to the computer...

    jerky video from SD memory card

    I have a camera with a SD memory card. Speed of the card is Class 2. I've recorded some videos with this camera. I know that Class 2 is deemed slow for video recording but I did it anyway. Playback on the camera looks perfect. However, after copying and then playing back the files on my...

    Best and Worst Cities For Tech Jobs

    Ok, I would not rely on this survey when looking for an IT job. Regardless of location, most or all IT jobs want experience. If you're a new graduate, it will be hard to even land interviews. Most new grads are willing to relocate so there is no point in searching for an IT job based on its...

    Carmack not all that interested in next-gen consoles

    I wish the next revolution in gaming is the A.I. I know that graphics and sensual immersion can always be better but I noticed absolutely zero or highly minimal improvements with the A.I. component of gaming. All too often we're shooting at enemies that come straight at you and are very...

    future-proof gaming pc for 1280x1024 resolution

    If someone was intent on only using a 19 inch display with 1280x1024 native resolution, wants to play everything completely maxed out, and wants to be future-proof, is it still considered to be overkill for this person to get a 3770k with a gtx 680? I know some people would prefer to get...

    1280x1024 on a 24 inch led display

    Anyone ever tried lower resolutions on a 23-27 inch display with a native res of 1920x1080? How tolerable is the viewing experience ? Reason why I ask is because I'm used to 1280x1024 ( on a 19 inch ) and I'm about to get an entirely new system with a larger monitor having higher res. I keep...

    which Z77 motherboard are you already planning to get and why?

    is the above motherboard really necessary? Really, what is the point of overclocking if you're going to spend ~$100 over a typical mobo and probably an extra $30+ for an aftermarket cooler? Why not just spend the extra money on more gpu power or something?

    which Z77 motherboard are you already planning to get and why?

    so what's the cheapest z77 board for effectively overclocking a 3570k or 3770k?

    worth it to spend $3k on a new pc if you know you will move very far next year?

    Man, that is one really ugly looking computer. A big contrast with the Fractal Design's XL Full Tower I was thinking of getting.

    worth it to spend $3k on a new pc if you know you will move very far next year?

    Yes, I would have more control if I were to physically move the computer myself. But, given the distance of the potential relocation, I would have to ship the computer instead.

    worth it to spend $3k on a new pc if you know you will move very far next year?

    It's not about the finances. I plan my finances ahead and I had $3k set aside for a new build ever since late 2010. I originally created this thread because I'm particularly not too fond of packaging and shipping an expensive computer, or parts. Then again, I don't know if I can hold out any longer.

    worth it to spend $3k on a new pc if you know you will move very far next year?

    I never upgraded all this time because there were so many 2001-2005 games that I still kept playing and yet couldn't finish. I also generally don't like upgrading one or two parts; it's either an entire new system or nothing but I like to stay with the same computer for as long as possible...
