Been running W7 forever on my old Sandy Bridge and finally decided to upgrade to W10. I used the Media Creation Tool and did a W7 -> W10 update as opposed to a full clean install and everything seemed to work without issue. There were no errors on install or any obvious incompatible...

What everyone has failed to point out (so far) is that vinyl sales have come back very strongly. Vinyl broke through the 2 million sold/yr in apx 2009, hit 6 million in 2013, slightly over 9 million in 2014 and are over 9 million for just the first 6 months in 2015. I have begun purchasing...

Picked up south park, neverending nightmares and the long dark

Quest for Glory (5th one is a travesty)

Thief is worth a playthru Metro 2033 redux? Nice gfx upgrade but I still enjoy the original better Bioshock infinite dlc is a fun return to rapture Ac Unity ? Wait for sale unless free with gpu Path of Exile still amazing and keeps getting improvements

Metro 2033 redux requires 64-bit

970

Successor to 600T? Some quick notes-- 600T -- 4x5.25" Drive Bays 780 -- 2x5.25" Drive Bays 600T -- 2x200mm fans (front and top), 1x120mm (rear) 780 -- 3x140mm fans -- (2 front, 1 rear) space for top, appears max size for all fans is 140 (?) That said tho I do like the extra space / comfort...

Another vote for owb.

Another's vote for i7 and 16 gb ram. Check my sig -- besides the vid card (waiting for 880) still runs like tits. Even devils canyon only like 15-20% faster. Yawn.

Shenanigans!

Will be playing some Metro 2033 and last light with a little path of exile as well.. I'll pick up thief for $15 tho not sure if I'll start it yet.

Ballmer paying 2 Billion for the Clippers (valued around 1/3 that), yeah glad to see this douche leave, bout time you pony up your own money for crap acquisitions rather than MS's.

fyi this is also why i always choose overnight on hdd shipping purchases -- they treat the packages nicer, less chance of doa

while u will likely get the 5l u may want to save the 5ex towards a 5l chest, i picked up a nice 6s5l 926 es tri res (only like 64% total but with a nice chaos bump) for 13ex. i was able to pawn my prev chest for 5ex, as it was halfway decent. up to you

Playing some Metal Gear Solid 4, Crysis 1, perhaps a little Dishonored and Path of Exile.

wait.. you mean to say people weren't a big fan of doorman?

l78 crit fireball witch -- my own brew looking for people to party with, def interested in this guild and can clear out some decent gears. abt 2k health, 2,5k es, 1,1k mana, like 35% crit with 550% cit dam and 5,5k-6k tooltip dps w/lmp. hit me up here or ign whodeeni

Ok, that makes sense. However I thought they will eventually mine all bitcoins in which case who will secure the network

Can anyone explain WHY bitcoins are worth anything? From my understanding mining does not actually produce anything in the distributed computing sense (SETI, folding @ home, etc) and is just making people use computer cycles to earn this currency. That said, even the currency's introduction is...

Having used computers for 25+ years I can't help but think that "Mantle" is another hyped up, heavily marketed feature that will offer little if it ever launches. Why? Well if AMD has had significant (not saying currently, but in the recent past) trouble with DX9 glitching, frame pacing and CF...

both

I want to play this game but haven't started yet...before I jump on the beta which ends in just a few days can anyone confirm if progress made now during the beta will roll to the full game??

Or footage from quake 1 .. a tad more advanced than 007 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uc4BMuhbsKY

Quake would like to have a word for you, and don't forget '98 brought Half Life 1 and Rainbow 6. But even if you want to look at older stuf Duke Nukem 3D was far and away leaps and bounds beyond 007 (heck even Doom was more entertaining!!). I was a PC gamer in '97 and I remember the same 'why...

Can't fig out who is worse...blizz or payal. Gl getting it resolved.

Article notes not compat with sb-e / ib-e

My office is still stuck on XP and IE (8.x I believe!!) The systems they purchased (prior to W8) came with W7 and they downgraded them all to XP. We even use software that REQUIRES Chrome and they LOCK OUT all internet surfing with Chrome so it is only used for one piece of cloud software...

I'm confused -- are you saying BS is a dumbed down SS2 or BS2 is a dumbed down BS1? Because I can understand the dumbed down SS2 but not BS1. BS1 while mostly difficult is broken at a very early part with hypnotize big daddy plasmid...then you can get natural camo on the next level in Arcadia...

Mobile is definitely one large factor, however W8 sucking is still another. It's not just me -- a friend at work's laptop died and she was being told by many friends and even sales people to hold off due to W8 and the Metro / lack of start menu. Additional supporting evidence -- just in the...

And your take on the massive decline in PC shipments over the last 2 quarters? W8 being shite won't necessarily drive someone to a complete new system -- they will just wait it out. Everyone knows MS can only make a decent os EVERY OTHER release (I'm looking at you 98, ME, Vista and now W8)

BS 2 > Infinite IMO. While Infinite was pretty awesome on the first playthrough, I wasn't having nearly as much fun the 2nd go around. The levels are extremely linear, and combat no where near as enjoyable as the first 2. Yes, the city and levels are gorgeous and often breathtaking, and the...

Ballmer was thrown out and w8 had much to do with it...so all this discussion if it is or isnt gaining steam... isnt

Never buying anything Asus again if I can help it. Seeing this bs makes me cringe, as at the end I still get the impression Asus thinks they're right in rejecting the RMA but is only begrudgingly do it to avoid further bad PR / goodwill. This is not the right reason to allow an RMA -- will we...

^^^ def that, I was also thinking that they're referring to programs that CLAIM to be hacks/cracks and are just malware -- sort of like googling for mp3s / movies will lead to viruses.

I still have my USRobotics external (with all those pretty lights!) 28.8kbps modem that was upgraded w/v.32 (?) to do 33.6kbps. NEVER going to let go of that puppy.

Not sure if this is what was meant, but I know that the 6xx series is much slower in FP FPU (or something like this) which is not used for games but more photoshob / adobe cs6 than the 5xx series. Some site recently did a test of this and the 580 was a ton faster than the 680. I believe this...

It's because the 2 methods to Apple's madness has been to: 1) sell a product at a grossly overly inflated price. We all know this, that's why almost none of us here have Apple computers and instead use PCs. 2) have 2-3 moneymaking products and then continually 'revise' them and sell the...

At this point I would scrap the whole thing and just build a new system unless you have extremely limited funds. However be aware any $$ spent on this may be unrecoverable if you wind up scrapping later on as any parts are so outdated / obsolete they couldn't be carried over to a new build so...
