    Spontaneous Quad-Core?

    So........this is sort of an odd situation. I went to shut down the system in my signature as I do every night. Right before it shut off however, it went to a BSOD, and rebooted automatically. On the motherboard splash screen, there was a new graphic that said "4th Core Activated!" or something...

    new mouse pad, is the ratzpad XT my only option without breaking the bank?

    Can someone please explain the obsession with super slick mousepads to me? I've tried one and I personally can't stand it, I feel like a lose a lot of control. It's the same problem I have with those mice supposed to be great for gaming due to lightness. I find I have much better control and...

    The Closing of Tabula Rasa - MMO Industry needs to change

    It's a shame to see another MMO that actually brought something new to the genre shut down. The only games that seem to do even marginally well are all fantasy clones (usually WoW clones now). Age of Conan, LotR Online, Warhammer, Vanguard,etc while not bad all games in themselves (well, Conan...

    UT3 Titan Pack Hands on Preview

    A lot of the bad reviews and negative word of mouth were from players that started with UT2k3 or 2k4 and never played the original game. I started with the Game of the Year edition of 99 and I LOVED UT3. The gameplay is still frantic, energized, and lightning paced, but without the overly...

    Things that annoy me about some game developers.

    I think the biggest thing that pisses me off is the sort of cultural shift in the game industry that has transformed gamers from "fans" to just being "customers." EA is most guilty of this and more than likely the driving force behind the movement. Games used to be something that was made to...

    Confirming part choices

    I got the LS-550. $40 off at newegg, so it was the same price as the OCZ.

    Confirming part choices

    Meh, fair enough. I was able to cancel the order right before it shipped. Reordered same cpu/mobo but switched the PSU to the 550w BFG.

    Confirming part choices

    I've noticed that pop up from time to time, and I haven't quite figured out why, as this seems to be one of the only sites with that distinction. I read up more on that particular PSU, which is a rebranded FSP unit, making it quality-wise right on par with Antec or Sparkle unless I'm mistaken...

    Confirming part choices

    My motherboard for the system in my sig died, so I took the opportunity to do a bit of an upgrade and grab a reliable PSU. I'm pretty sure that I got parts that will give me good performance for the money, but I figure it never hurts to get a second opinion on parts, so I'd appreciate any input...

    can i expect 60+ FPS in WoW with this build?

    WotLK brought full high rez dynamic shadows on every object in the game. I went from 160+ fps to 15-30 due to those and other very very poorly written graphic "improvements." Even with shadows off, I'm lucky to get half of my previous framerate.

    AMD still worth buying?

    Either way, being I can buy a new CPU without upgrading the mobo or I can upgrade my mobo without buying a new CPU I would prefer to the apparent dead end of the LGA775 socket.

    AMD still worth buying?

    Hmm, just looked at the Phenom 2s, and apparently one had an unlisted combo deal http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.153682 How would that compare to an intel combo in a similar price range?

    AMD still worth buying?

    I've been looking at some of the benchmarks and price brackets, and it seems that with the price slashing going on, the AMD procs have plummeted below the cost of their Intel brethren, and though I hear everyone preach Intel constantly, that usually doesn't take into account price difference...

    Wow, logitech support is great!

    I didn't know logitech was that helpful o.O Maybe there is some hope of getting my beloved MX1000 back up to a reliable state.

    Best place for replacement parts

    I have a lot of computer stuff sitting around gathering dust or not being as useful as it should be due to missing parts, so I've been hunting around as to where I could buy those parts, without resorting to probably mislabeled and broken parts from ebay. I checked the usual places like newegg...
