    Fallout 4 at 1080p with a GTX 470?

    I really would like to get FO4 but I am thinking I would have to turn down way too many settings with my GTX 470 (rest of my specs should be fine though). Anybody try this game with a GTX 470? I know my card is old and I planned on upgrading around this time but decided this summer to put...

    Win 7 Pro 64bit: what is using up all of my drive space?

    I have a laptop with a 128gb SSD. I already deleted the recovery partition and added that disk space to my C drive. C drive is 110gb (there is also an 8gb Hibernate partition, although I only have 4gb of RAM which I thought was strange). All that is installed on this laptop is Windows, and MS...

    Best 1080p Chromebook?

    I really want to give the Chrome OS a try. I am so used to 1080p or higher on almost all of my devices that I am not sure a 1366x768 display would do it for me. From what I have read I would want 4gb of RAM, 16GB SSD is fine. I would want something with a 13" to 14" display. I am concerned...

    Win7 Pro: what is the best way to delete deleted files?

    For both work (I work in IT) and for personal use I am surprised at how many deleted files from someone's computer can be easily recovered. It has gotten me thinking, how can deleted files be truly deleted without physically damaging a drive? I know there are programs out there that will...

    If I have a Verizon Note 2, could I buy a case for it at AT&T?

    I know with some phones in the past, the Verizon version of a particular phone might be slightly different (button placement, etc) than say AT&T. I am getting a Note 2 through my job, looks like this week (possibly tomorrow) and I already called all the local Verizon stores and nobody has a...

    Anybody else looking forward to the LG G Pad?

    Two Worlds 2 Velvet Edition worth $5.99?

    I am not expecting something the quality of Skyrim, but is it worth playing and at least decent? How is the gameplay and story? Would it be a better or worse game than say Arcania Gothic 4 which I personally found to be decent enough to play. On a side note, any other games on the cheap on...

    Why is my S3 so much faster at web browsing than my tf700t?

    My Samsung S3 phone loads the full versions of all sites so much faster than my Asus tf700t. The difference is actually pretty big. I have tested on numerous sites, using the stock android browser, and sites such as Amazon are fast on my phone but is almost not even worth trying on my tablet...

    What size tablet do you prefer?

    Nothing more than curiosity on my part. I have an Ipad 3 and an Asus TF700t and although both are larger tablets I actually prefer smaller tablets due to the weight and ease of holding them (when I have gotten opportunities to use smaller tablets). I know my next tablet will be 7" to 8" size.

    How long is thermal paste good for in the tube?

    I bought some Tuniq TX-2 four years ago and have used it a few times on various computers over that time. There is still plenty left but haven't used it in about two years, and I will be doing a build tonight probably. Should I use it even though the tube is four years old, or get something else?
