Hi. I'm in a GPU upgrade dilemma and looking for advice. I'm able to buy a new Zotac GeForce GTX 660 Ti ZT-60802-10P for $180. I currently have an EVGA 012-P3-2066-KR GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 Cores FTW card. It works great (though it puts out some serious heat), but I run all my games at...

Hi. I have a Corsair Force 3 SSD (latest firmware) that's worked great for months until about a month ago. Randomly, every few weeks, when I cold boot my computer the SSD (on SATA port 1) will not be found by BIOS. Sure enough, when I go into the BIOS menu I cannot locate the drive, but I can...

Thanks for the replies, everybody. Sounds like I should just stick with my crippled SATA2 connection until I do a full upgrade. At least this should be faster than an HDD...

PCI-E. Sorry. Original post updated. Was thinking about possibly this card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815318001 Too bad it only has one vague review.

Hi. My rig's stating to get up there in age (still running a Core 2 Quad Q6600). I wanted to do something nice for it since I don't have the funds to build a new one yet. So I impulsively bought a 120GB Corsair Force 3 SSD. The SSD is SATA 3. My mobo is an ASUS P5QL/EPU, and only has SATA 2...

As much indifference as I felt toward the demo, I'm thinking the full version might be fun to play through once. It managed to capture a bit of my heart in the small things. Having the marine tell me my drawing of a stick figure with a huge dick and guns shooting the alien was "a good plan,"...

Hi! I bought an old Acer Aspire One D250/AOD250 and installed Win 7 Professional on it. Everything was working fine for a good month until just a few weeks ago, when suddenly the sleep function would do a hard shutdown on the netbook. It now doesn't matter which way I do it - close the lid...

UPDATE: Last night I removed all four sticks of memory and tried them in pairs and individually in all of the different slots. Same result: nothing happened. I also removed the motherboard battery but still had no luck booting to Windows or even able to get into BIOS. I’m now thinking...

So I’m having a bit of a problem that I could use some help on. Over lunch I went home to boot up my PC and … nothing. It would show the Gigabyte mobo logo on the screen, flash to black, show the Gigabyte logo, flash to black, etc. I’m not sure if it was rebooting as it...

Ditto. I've found myself gravitating toward Bayonetta more than Darksiders. Storywise, Darksiders takes itself a little too seriously. I like friggin' ridiculousness of Bayonetta.

Agreed. Especially after seeing GiantBomb's quick look at the game, I'm super pumped! Hell looks great.

I rented the PS3 version this morning and have been playing it non-stop. Yes, there's some screen tearing and it does have a lot of load times (though most are 30 seconds or under) but the game is a hell of a lot of fun to play. Will certainly be picking this one up for my PS3, especially if...

My mkv files are lagging like hell when I stream with PS3 Media Server. I've had no problems with any other file types. Any thoughts?
