I also have a Chase Freedom card, and have just done extensive googling trying to find a support document that says anything about how they handle the Google Wallet passthrough credit card. Nothing. Did find this interesting blurb on Venturebeat.
Sounds like a horrible system that I wouldn't...
google wallet is free. That 2.9% fee is for sending someone a cash advance on credit card.
No first hand experience, but per their documentation, Google Wallet is far less transparent.
You may get neither cash back, nor insurance...
Some people are going to be really really sad if the cable companies did disolve.
$10 HBO
$10 Comedy Central
$10 SciFi
$10 NBC
$10 Netflix
... It begins to add up quick...
Apple Pay is directly partnered with VISA/MC/AMEX and major banks, developed in consortium. You maintain all benefits.
Cost to you $1000
You get cash back rewards, even as it pertains to specific categories.
Merchant gets hit with normal ~1.6% fee to VISA.
Apple takes .15% of that 1.6% away...
Uhhh your system is pretty high end already, not much you can do to upgrade that's cost effective...
Care to be more specific? What game(s)?
Most modern games only use the harddrive when loading. After that it nearly plays entirely from RAM. Maybe a large open game like Fallout3 uses...
Brand new system, 7 year old outdated OS. Does not compute.
You wont even be able to use all of the 6GB of RAM for the new system if you don't go 64...
It could be seen as a morality/social issue.
Similar to how some campuses are supposed to be "dry" campuses, no alcohol. But how many students sneak alcohol in any way?
Or how some campuses, like Virginia Tech, are "gun-free" zones. Where only criminals intent on attacking the...
No, looking at those numbers, even at the lower resolutions the ATI cards were posting playable, enjoyable, frame rates.
I would still opt for the 4850 no matter the resolution there, depending on price of course. It also means the 4850 may have better longevity for newer games.
Googled the part number that kyle gave:

Crysis itself never used more than 800-900MB of RAM IIRC from my testing. So your claim of 1.3gb total used for system sounds reasonable.
STALKER used alot. Idle in windows, windows sidebar reports 27-29% usage sitting normally in windows, web browsing, and junk like that. Would hit 97%...
Yes. The OS can only address 4GB total memory. A chunk of motherboard resources digs into that, videocard, other PCI bus devices, etc.
Most people on a 32bit OS and 4GB memory, windows can only use between 3.1 and 3.6GB. It varies based on system components.
Both should be quality boards from a reputable vendor, I've used both brands with good experiences. Overclocking? both should do well, but that's mostly luck of the draw. You'll find some fanboys either way on these boards based on their personal experiences.
ASUS:
I prefer their bios...
Disregard, completely irrelevant. Some old buggy AMD based motherboard. iiick.
Check this setting and get back to us.
As of SP1, Vista computer info reports amount of memory installed. So it's seeing that you have 6gb of memory modules installed.
Task manager is showing how much the...
Built so many systems, for myself, dad, friends and family on that VA-503+ with K6's because they were so cheap. Within a few months, they all had issues, blue screening, various features failing. Headache after headache. Specific order to install drivers to get AGP busmaster or whatever to...
