My old C2D E6550's MB has finally died after 4 years, so it is time for an upgrade. I have the GPU(Radeon 6850)/PSU/HD and LCD already, which is at 1440x900. The games i intend to play are Far Cry 3 and Sleeping Dogs. What should I use for the CPU/MB? I'm guessing a 3570 is overkill, and there...

I guess the line about Steam not selling a game but offering an unlimited subscription like it like HBO and Cable didn't work out in EU-land.

I'd prefer Portal 3 or some new IP to be honest, had enough of see-saw puzzles with Episode Two.

Tried the game again with a Starter Edition account, did the entire beginning Panda zone until Orgrimmar and 0 people replied to my hellos. I guess the expansion didn't change that part of the low level experience. And this was on a "New Players" Server.

They don't even have Portal 2 or L4D2 active in their Linux beta, so I doubt the Steambox will be coming out any time soon. With all of the complaints about how Windows 8 is going to destroy gaming, I doubt they'll pick Windows, and Apple doesn't allow third party use of OSX.

The X86 licence requires permission from Intel if AMD sells its CPU division from the settlement. They could be trying to spin off graphics division and then convert the CPU to an IP farm like what happened to Transmeta. There is a third licensee for x86 too: Via from its Cyrix acquisition, so...

I wonder if they'll keep the unskippable intro taxi section and infinitely respawning guard stations?

Google can't buy yahoo because of antitrust concerns. After the failed Microsoft acquisition Google tried to make an ad deal with Yahoo, but the US government stopped the deal.

I'd like a guest past too. My system runs SC2 well on ultra so it should be able to handle it easily.

Impulse keys work, downloading FA now. For the 3 other people who used Impulse.

Warcraft takes all the PC money instead. Why spend $60 on a game that's finished in 6 hours when you can pay another $15 for Warcraft instead ;)

Set up Sync and it'll do it for you automatically. Broke my old HD and Chrome brought back all my extensions with no problem with new install.

I have a 6850 in my 2.33ghz E6550. 1440x900 CPU bottleneck whoo!

They still make real products, for the Playstation 3 for instance

I wouldn't mind if they did this at all. Stop releasing half baked stuff then fix it if it sells enough!

What would a 2.93GHz P4 be equivalent to in Core 2 Duo Conroe terms?

Can't have it competing with Xbox and its $100 250GB HDD profit margins, so it makes sense to ignore Windows.

And despite 42 pages of people saying it is bad, repeated panning on various review sites; it is #2 on Steam (at full $60) just behind the 50% sale of Portal 2. Talk about mixed messages to Zenimax!

Id was bought by Zenimax, so they're the same company as Bethesda now. And does it show!

Dirt 3 has GFWL when it runs for Steam too, so if BF3 comes on Steam most definitely will come packaged with Origin as well.

Bought Crysis Warhead for 7.5 instead. Had the original but never the expansion and at that price why not. I wonder when Portal 2 will drop below 10.

Because everyone else goes to the New Thing (TM) and in order to find populated servers you need to follow them unless you like solo play.

Does it still use Punkbuster? Some pages say it hasn't been confirmed but others say the opposite.

I hope they go after Giganews and their ilk next. Go for the source!

Impulse keys don't work, too much to hope for I suppose.

Intel HD power!

Isn't XP mode only for Ultimate and Pro? If you need that you only have two choices.

20 posts and a grand total of one post mentions Impulse. Grand total of eight for entire thread. Poor ignored little platform.

The combat in Planescape stops me from playing it. So clunky!

Because if they released demos people wouldn't buy it on hype alone.

Only game on list I've played in JC2, but I enjoyed it so it gets my vote.

The mission enemy AI is stupid like in most MMOs, and it gets repetitive and boring fast.

Went to standard, cleared cookies, still same error.

When I try to "Mark Forums Read" I get an error message. I've tried IE8 and Chrome, and get the same error. I've tried the email admin link, and got no reply, so I thought I'd try this instead so someone could see it. Account: Lys, Browsers tried:Chrome and IE8.

The running about was great. The forced combat was shitty.

I'd like to have Just Cause 2 included in more reviews. It is DX10 at least, and is relatively new with all those Nvidia features too. More non-FPS games would be good too. Starcraft 2 and Supreme Commander 2 or similar.

Now Intel really needs to buy Nvidia so that the gpu/cpu world will drop to two names. Come on Intel, I want my Intel Geforce GTX 680 and AMD Radeon 6870!

Main problem for me with the 460 with me is that it requires two PCIe power connectors. I really wish Nvidia would release the 450 already.

Update on my baked 4850: after 70 hours of Just Cause 2 it began to artefact again and crash. Rebaking made it so that it doesn't even boot up any more. I guess this is only a temporary fix!
