    NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GX2 On March 11th ?

    Yes, I know it's not a full two years old, but I wasn't going to split hairs over a period of roughly six months difference. What was the point in even responding if you're only going to point out something that was a purposeful "rounding-up" of time, instead of addressing the real...

    NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GX2 On March 11th ?

    Is there any data at all yet on the 9800GTX that can be compared to the 8800GTX? The 8800GTX is almost two years old, but still eats up everything I throw at it, so even if the 9800GTX is only $300 or so, to me it's not even worth picking up unless it actually really pulls massively ahead of...

    Is 2008 shaping up to be a dry year for PC gaming?

    GTA:IV (all the info on how it's turning out speaks for itself) Mercenaries2: World In Flames (great fun akin to the first one, but better) Far Cry 2 (looks to be good) Prototype (definitely! looks to be turning out to be killer from all aspects) Dead Island (finally scheduled for '08; 'bout...

    Half of UK Men Would Swap Sex for 50" TV

    Heh, I'm with ya, man. Good thing my wife is accommodating in whatever way necessary. QFT, hardcore. It's a little more than disturbing that we live in a society where people would choose technology over human interaction, or even basic necessary carnal expression. Something very wrong...

    Do you finish your single player games?

    Absolutely, if it's indeed worth finishing, as it's the most important and fulfilling part of any game. Unless it's meant to be MP.

    Couldn't believe the improvement of my Kill:Death ratio switching to CRT

    Could never understand this, and even though I've seen a million threads about it everywhere, this is the first time I've responded tot he issue. After I moved to LCD years ago, I've never had a problem with FPS's or my k/d ratio, which is always high on a usual day. I've never had any issues...

    Any active Guild Wars members here?

    My wife and I both still play GW a lot. If you (or anyone else) is still interested in/having fun playing GW, drop me a PM and let me know. We have our own little guild which is, right now, just the two of us until we find other older people. We still really enjoy going through and, as...

    Calender/Task Program...?

    Thanks for the suggestions. I'd like to compare Palm Desktop, but [edit] I'm sure what to download/check out that's actually the calender...? There's a few downloads, and no screens of the calender portion. Has it ever been known to cause any conflicts with anything? Especially if you can use...

    Basic Laptop/Notebook - Still Stuck, Need More Suggestions

    Well, it seems that my search for a cheaper (as in price) basic laptop or notebook has become an exercise in frustration. I'm looking for something reliable but basic, with XP installed on it, enough RAM that it runs smoothly (just generally; no heavy progs), doesn't need a huge drive...

    ASUS Eee PC 4G: Questions

    Thanks for all that info. Unfortunately, after checking out the entire method of installing XP onto these things, that's way too much of a hassle and potentially risky, from all I read. I think I'll pass on fussing with all of that. I guess my search continues...

    ASUS Eee PC 4G: Questions

    Ok, I'll try to make this simple: It's the perfect size laptop I'm looking for just to do very basic things with. However, I need to do two things with it: - install XP Pro - upgrade the RAM I've never worked on laptops before, so I've no idea how to even find out what RAM to get...

    Calender/Task Program...?

    Thanks, I know about that but that's not what I'm looking for. As stated, I'm looking for a third-party app that will just run on my system (not online/having to be logged into), like I said, akin to Rainlendar.

    Calender/Task Program...?

    Is there a program similar to Rainlendar but that's a bit better, with more functionality and customization? I run XP Pro and always have a ton of stuff to do, and I'm currently buried in sticky notes! :D It'd be more convenient to have an on-screen and light-weight prog on my system, but...
