    Need some advice on what headset to get.

    I have a Plantronics Counterstrike headset that is very similar to this set but was more expensive. It was a great headset until one night it, quite literally, fell apart. I did manage to duct tape the outer ears back together but the microphone can't be used anymore, they are now only...

    Need advice - Vista says the slowest thing in my rig is memory

    Hey thanks for the help. How do I check to see if it's single channel? EDIT - Nevermind, i recalled someone told me about CPU-Z and i just ran it and it does say DDR2, 4096 MBytes, Channels# Dual. The DRAM frequency says 400.1 Mhz though, shouldn't that say 800 Mhz or since it's dual its...

    I love it, I don't see how anyone could want to go back, the old interface was pretty crappy IMO.

    Need some advice on what headset to get.

    The Razr Barracude is what I have and they are freakin' fantastic headphones. They are so comfortable you don't even feel like there's anything on your head really. They have good directional sound and are very loud and very, very clear audio wise. I'd highly recommend for anyone looking for...

    Xbox 360 has ruined pc gaming forever

    Wow, some of you guys sounds like ridiculous, fanboy, narrow-minded PC snobs. Are there dumb, poor graphics, tripe made for the drooling masses on consoles? Of course. Guess what? There is probably 10x more of that stuff made for the PC gaming world. There are also fantastic gaming...

    Xbox 360 has ruined pc gaming forever

    I game on all platforms so I can see the view from both sides of the fence. However I think that there is enough room in the PC market for both types of games, the Sins of a Solar Empire very obvious PC-type game and the Tomb Raider Underworld console-type game on the PC. I for one am happy to...

    Burnout Paradise

    I have not had any issue like that, have you tried updating your video card drivers? Also, just wondering - has anyone got multiple monitors to work using Vista or is that something that only works in XP?

    Need advice - Vista says the slowest thing in my rig is memory

    I didn't know, i'm pretty computer savvy but never paid much attention to memory and especially never really learned much about how timings affect things. I only plan to use this memory for about a year or less because at some point i'm going to ditch all of it and get 8gb when i upgrade to a...

    Need advice - Vista says the slowest thing in my rig is memory

    well i got the 2gb of ram today, just installed and looks like my memory rating is now 5.0...LOL...oh well, i'm not going to stress about it, it only cost me $40 for another 2gb and like I said, everything runs great with the new video card (GTX260).

    Good, fast, large hard drive for PC gaming recommendation?

    well that's cool but i pretty much stick with western digital most of the time. i've not had good luck with other drive brands.

    Good, fast, large hard drive for PC gaming recommendation?

    Thanks, I took up bigdogchris on his opinion in this thread so mega props to him. It seemed like the 640gb was a good price point, I got it for $82 from buy.com.

    Diablo III: Whats the latest scoop?

    If you want something to tide you over you may want to check out Sacred 2. I just got it last week and it was a real bug-a-bear to get running but it seems a lot like Diablo in so many ways.

    Is Neverwinter Nights 2 worth buying?

    Sins of a Solar Empire

    It's very, very, very engrossing, you will lose hours and not even realize it. With that being said, i'm still confused as hell as to what i'm doing half the time (and yes I did do all of the tutorials). It's well worth the money I think.

    Good, fast, large hard drive for PC gaming recommendation?

    Well I ended up getting the Western Digital Black 640GB drive and got it installed so plenty of space now. I have only installed Sacred 2 on it but it's so nice to have plenty of breathing room on the space front again!

    Need advice - Vista says the slowest thing in my rig is memory

    I ordered two new sticks of ram today so I will go to 4 gigs (I just now typed 4 megs, LOL, those were the days eh?). I will let you guys know later this week if the score changed. Also, just FYI to any of you guys who said I was worried or whatnot, not really worried just always looking...

    Need advice - Vista says the slowest thing in my rig is memory

    Thanks everyone for the input. I'm pretty much a geek but not real familiar with the whole timings issue. I guess i'll have to read up on it. Also, since I've got a 1gig video card in my machine and run Vista 32 would adding 2 more gig to my rig be worth it? I know Vista 32 will only...

    Need advice - Vista says the slowest thing in my rig is memory

    Hey all, I just did that test in Vista of the machine and my rig all rates 5.9 with the lowest setting being 5.1 for my memory...so my machine is a 5.1. I'm wondering if i could buy better or faster memory to speed up my machine or if i'm off on a wild goose chase. Here are my specs: #...

    Burnout Paradise

    I love this game too, about the only thing I really do hate is the convuluted menu system and how it works, especially how you quit. When you hit esc it should take you to a menu and in that menu somewhere, very apparently, there should be a QUIT TO DESKTOP option. That should be a hard rule...

    Burnout Paradise

    the reason my camera wasn't working is i had another camera program running so if you have a usb camera make sure no other programs that might use the camera are up and running when you start the game..

    btw - is the camera option disabled in the demo? i do have a USB camera hooked up and it was on but it didn't take a picture when I told it to. not a huge deal, just wondering. thanks

    Good, fast, large hard drive for PC gaming recommendation?

    I am getting low on space and was going to buy another hard drive for my newly upgraded PC. I've looked at the Velociraptor but honestly don't know if I want to spend that much for a 300gb hard drive when I can get much more space for much less money. I finally scoped out a 1TB western digital...

    Burnout Paradise

    I downloaded the demo last night and it runs fantastic with my new Geforce 260. I was very excited to see there was an option for multiple monitors since I just got a second monitor. However so far i've been unable to run it on my dual monitors. When I choose 2 monitors it just puts a smaller...

    Computer keeps freezing, help!?!?

    i would start by disabling all programs in your startup that you don't need and then do what you were doing before to see if you get the same error. if you don't then it's one of your programs and maybe check for an update, if you do lock up again then onto the next step.

    Warhammer Online Thread!

    to clarify - by "like diablo" i mean a couple of things : 1. can you play alone and have success without having to join a group and do raids? I quit playing WOW because of the emphasis on social play (which I do enjoy but every time i login i do not want to play as a group). 2. do you...
