Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Looking for a socket 1366 proc for 100 shipped or thereabouts.
Been quite a few years since I was here last, but I think I've got some heat around here somewhere - http://heatware.com/eval.php?id=43113
Bah, companies have learned consoles are more profitable than PCs and develop accordingly; it has nothing to do with art being more important and everything to do with the capabilities of the hardware. If art really was more important than the engine, games like Odin Sphere and GrimGrimoire...
Most of these are dumbed down for consoles and don't show what a good comp can really do. Plus, L4D = years old Source engine (not that it looks bad, but its a long way from the latest and greatest even with the updates), Bethesda is always a couple years behind on graphics.
For the absolute...
Well, due to hardware limitations, no aero, slow without that extra RAM; sidebar takes up a lot of space on a screen this small, as do the larger icons. All this is customizable, of course, but Vista was released before netbooks really hit and its designed for a more powerful machine with a...
It also kinda destroys the fantasy setting, ya know? Most fantasy games are based on a time when only a small number of people had enough money to invest, and they has castles to store it in. And a credit score? An even more absurdly modern idea; why not just go the whole hog and add submachine...
If you just want old stuff and mods, can't help you there. On the other hand, if you want some of the notable games that have come out in the last three years...
Portal (This game is simply too awesome to be limited by a genre classification. If you get nothing else, get this.)
FPS:

I'm not gonna say realism is all their should be to graphics, but there is a tremendous amount of technical skill involved in making realistic stuff that I respect a lot. I had a friend that liked Crysis as a sandbox driving game because of the destructible environment and level of graphics...
How much are you willing to pay?
For something cheap, I tend to keep a couple of these around at all times for spares or if someone needs to borrow a keyboard for some reason: LITE-ON SK-1788
The Logitech Illuminated keyboard is quite nice; a simpler, more professional look than many...
Nah dude, since he already has a 550, he shouldn't upgrade his PS. Starting from the System 2 (which is a little more power-heavy then his with its 3870X2 and Phenom), lets replace the 3870X2 with a GTX 280. From the numbers I get, the 280 takes a hundred more watts under load. So 340 + 100...
