He did make up his mind; he wanted both. What part of his post indicated that he was on the fence? He's asking for help, not to be berated for his wishlist. Points for saying "please," at least =)

Vostro 260, not the 's' model.

Hey guys, OK, so I'm looking to do a cheap upgrade to a Dell business computer that is currently in my care. One day it will be returned to the office, but it's mine for now. That being the case, I can't do too much to this thing. It has an OEM copy of Win 7 Pro 64 attached to it, so I can't go...

Yes, continue being screwed by GameStop, don't support the devs and watch the flawed system move along in its broken state. Sit back, relax and get your popcorn while you "deal with it." Brilliant solution. Meanwhile, other people will be trying to make a change in how things work. Which you, in...

I basically agree with this in theory. I'm one of those insane people who was 100% behind Microsoft's original plan with the Xbox One and I am livid that they rolled it back. I would much rather have the option of playing my game collection without having to swap discs than to have the option of...

Semantics. If you buy a game for $60, take it home and beat it in a couple days, then trade it back in, you've essentially rented it. You know who sells movies? College kids who need to pay rent. People who have a DVD collection that they don't need any more because they upgraded to Blu Ray...

I completely disagree with this. When movies are shown on cable, or rented out from RedBox or watched on Netflix, do you think that those companies reap all the profits and nothing goes back to the content owner? Because you're whacked out of your melon if you think that's the case. Selling a...

This will be the last Dark Souls, barring any expansions. They already said they have no desire to make another Dark Souls game. That doesn't mean there won't be another Souls game, obviously. I hope they stick to that plan.

Pretty good deal on this, especially since it's a digital code and you don't have to wait for a card to ship. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16874103299

Funny, I thought he meant the render engine in Blender.

Thanks, I just looked it up and apparently I should be all set. It won't run as efficiently or quickly as it would in a 2.0 system but whatever. I'm not looking for anything amazing out of this system, I just want to be able to mess around with UDK and Blender. I think I'll pick up a 6670...

OK, so I'm using a computer that came from work and in PC Wizard, it reads the following for the PCIe info: Bus PCI-Express : Device : G35/G33/G31/P35/P31 Version : 1.0 Port : 2 Physical Slot : #0 Slot Populated : No Link Width : max. x16 Link Speed : 2.5 GB/s I have no clue when it...

Being a Dell, I'm sure this mobo has zero OC potential. But I'll take a look anyways. Doesn't hurt to try!

Thanks! I'm not looking for anything mind-blowing when it comes to gaming. I do most of my gaming on 360 anyways due to friends being on Live. Really what I'm looking to do is practice with Blender and the UDK. I plan to build a "modern" rig sooner or later, but I've been without a decent...

Whoa... I'm taking a PC from work (not stealing, they know I'm taking it) that has an E7400 @ 2.8ghz and 2 gigs of ram. So if I pop a video card in there, maybe 2 more gigs of ram and install Win 7, I should have a gaming capable system? If that's the case, what video card would be smart to get...
