    SecuROM DRM: Who Has *Actually* Been Affected?

    Well, I'm not here to "solve" the issue, only to get an honest discussion going regarding the issue. Yes, I've been to countless forums where I've seen countless complaints. Not my point, nor is it "flamebait", though I know my tone sounded "annoyed". Reason being, is that there are so many...

    SecuROM DRM: Who Has *Actually* Been Affected?

    "Biased"? Where do you see "bias"? Not at all... just attempting to get the plethora of people who complain about it, to give legitimate scenarios for why they live in such "paranoia"... Such as your scenario, the likes of which I have heard happen, and that's unfortunate that it did, but it...

    SecuROM DRM: Who Has *Actually* Been Affected?

    With all this talk of SecuROM/DRM, and the many issues involved having been discussed, there's one things I've not seen stated, and that's who (if anyone) has been affected and how. Not including limited installs (which affects everyone), who has actually - truthfully - been affected by...

    4GB On 32bit OS (Gaming): How many have noticed a difference?

    I understand your point, but this is meant to be more a "general overview" to see whether or not people have actually noticed any performance increase in gaming, specifically, after upgrading the amount of RAM they're running. From so much of what I've seen, people can at least notice, even...

    4GB On 32bit OS (Gaming): How many have noticed a difference?

    Upon seeing two discussions in this forum on the issue, and the fact that I'm considering upping my RAM to 4GB, I'd like to hear from every gamer possible about this. I've seen myself a lot of people, especially around here, say they've noticed a difference in gaming performance going from...

    ESET Reliability - Caught/Quarantined Viruses? Need Info

    First off, I'm visiting "questionable sites". These things occurred while hitting several underground music webzines. Twice when attempting to play different MP3 files, and once just actually hitting the MP3 section of a site. Secondly, taking that kind of attitude is completely unnecessary...

    ESET Reliability - Caught/Quarantined Viruses? Need Info

    When ESET Security Suite detects a virus and states the following: "Connection Terminated - Quarantined", does that mean, essentially, that I'm safe and it did not hit my system? I've been "exposed" to three different viruses this past week (which is more than I have in the past year), one...

    Security: Hardware/Software Mix - Questions

    I have a few questions, so I'll try to keep them as concise as possible: 1) I'm running ESET's Security Suite (NOD32) for a/v (it's firewall also turned on, though it's one of the worst firewalls) and using a D-Link gaming router (large NAT) as a firewall. Is this a good set-up in terms...

    8800GTX To 4870 - Large Upgrade?

    Well, as stated, I play at 1680 res and don't really have any plans on going any bigger in the near future. Even if I did a bit though, according to the review, it still seems the 4870 is a pretty large upgrade from the 8800GTX, no?

    8800GTX To 4870 - Large Upgrade?

    Simple enough question, looking for objective answers. Would moving from an 8800GTX (single) to 4870 (single) be a large upgrade in performance/visuals? Sorry, but with all these GPUs being released, it's difficult to compare many different ones, then make a non-scattered judgment about...

    Air Cooling: Orientation & Monitoring

    Yeah, there's nothing like aftermarket coolers, certainly. Either way, hot air will be blowing into the case from a GPU to some degree, generally. Since this case has the PSU on the bottom and the GPU fan is blowing right into the PSU fan (which only has one fan on it; Corsair HX620) I think...

    Air Cooling: Orientation & Monitoring

    Excellent response, thanks! Absolutely, I'll be testing different orientations out, as I always have. I guess I only just recently started really thinking about "optimizing" air cooling as much as possible, as well as the issue of CPU cooling. In a way, though, the tower CPU sinks usually...

    Air Cooling: Orientation & Monitoring

    Simple question I'm curious about, as I've heard differing opinions. CPU Cooling & Sink Is it better to have a fan pulling heat off the CPU, or blowing on the CPU? Just ordered a new (also as in just released) cooler, the Scythe ZIPANG which is a "top-down" cooler. So the fan is facing...

    XP SP3 Errors

    I just installed SP3 on my wife's laptop, and have gotten a few strange errors. Though nothing since (only bee a few hours) I don't know if there's something wrong or not. First error: a pop-up box (like a CMD) box, two of them, listed the error: "Error in parameter", then they both closed...

    FS: Entire System (Good For Mid-Range Gamer) Or Parts (GPU, CPU, RAM, mobo, sinks)

    Sorry for not listing prices at first. I've been in a major rush recently. Like I said, this is sort of an "emergency" thing. Everything updated.
