I downloaded the demo for FIFA 10 on PSN last night and am liking what I see. I've had 09 for a few months and I've definitely noticed some minor tweaks that improve gameplay. The touted 360 degree dribbling does feel smoother, and if a player is dispossessed he isn't completely useless for...

If I purchase a title on PSN that's available for both PS3 and PSP, like Final Fantaasy VII, can I download it to both my PS3 and PSP?

I recently picked up a new PS3 off amazon (the 160G Uncharted edition), and tonight I found out that there's also an 80G MGS edition that's apparently backward compatible. I was under the impression that the backward compatible models were no longer available so I didn't even consider buying...

I was looking at a Philips 42PFL6704D at Costco, but after a quick search to check it out I saw some chatter on another site saying some pretty disappointing things. It was some AV enthusiast site, so I assume that as this is a low- or mid-range model it's below most of those people's standards...

I understand that my license allows me to install either 32- or 64-bit, but the box only contains a damned 32-bit disc. Is that normal?? I was under the impression (wrongly, it seems) that it would contain both versions. So now I have to pay a "minimal fee" to get the 64-bit media??? I'm off...

So, I'm looking at getting an EVGA 9800 GT. First things first, if I decide on the 9800 GT, would anyone recommend a manufacturer other than EVGA? I lean towards then because I had a previous EVGA card and it treated me well. That said, I don't really know if the 9800 GT is the card I should...

I ran across the following deal on Newegg today and have been out of the game for so long that some advice would be appreciated. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.142045 My current system has an AMD XP 3000+, so it's been a good 4 or 5 years since I...

I've been having issues with an old PC, one that I built several years ago for my parents. In the last few weeks, the following has happened: First, the PC decided to stop powering up all together, which I easily diagnosed as a dead power supply. Then I found that the hard drive was...

I don't play a lot of console games. I have nothing against them, but up until the other day I didn't own a console. A friend of mine offered me a good deal on a slim PS2, a memory card, and a couple of games that I couldn't pass up. I don't plan on picking up any of the new consoles when they...

Another Price Drop! Buy my stuff!! None of the prices below are set in stone, but I think they're all fair. If they're not fair feel free to let me know and make me an offer. I'd also like to sell the DVDs in groups if possible (though it's not required), so it would help if you're interested...

The thread title pretty much says it all. I don't need anything special. I'm putting together a PC for my parents and I pretty much have all of the other parts, but there seems to be something wrong with my old motherboard. I just need to get a new one and they're not going to be doing any...

I've just installed an NV Silencer on my 6800GT. Now I'm playing around with the overclock and I ran across a question. I installed coolbits and I'm able to overclock it to 401/1.08, but after that it won't pass the test that it requires before applying the settings. Is this because my card...

I'm having a strange problem here. I've got a couple sticks of PC3200 OCZ Platinum Rev 2 that I got off of newegg. They installed with no problems and I've been getting great results. Then the other day I brought up 3DMark '03 and it said that I only had 512MB of RAM. It said that slot 0 was...

I just got an NV Silencer 5 for my 6800 GT and I'm unsure whether I should use the thermal paste that comes with it or some Arctic Silver 5 that I have sitting around. I would assume the AS 5 would be better since it's one of the better thermal compounds out there, but since the NV5 is such a...

Over the last couple of days I've massaged out most of the problems with the system in my sig and I've installed Windows XP Pro. The thing is that having problems with the network connection. My computer is located several rooms away from the (wireless) router so I just use a D-Link wireless...

What kind of a temperature difference would there be between cooling my radiator with an intake fan versus cooling it with an exhaust fan? In my previous system I had my radiator sitting outside the case, but this time I'd like to get it mounted in or on the case in some way. I've got a case...

I apologize for posting this twice but I mistakenly put it in the general motherboard section by mistake. I recently bought a new case, Athlon 64 3000+, and DFI Lanparty UT NF3 board. My plan was to move all existing parts from my current system to the new setup. I did just that and I'm...

I recently bought a new case, Athlon 64 3000+, and DFI Lanparty UT NF3 board. My plan was to move all existing parts from my current system to the new setup. I did just that and I'm getting a single long beep when I power on. Accordnig to the DFI website it's a DRAM error, but what exactly does...

I just picked up an Aerocool Jetmaster Jr. case and I'm trying to figure out the optimal cooling solution. It has a 120mm intake fan on the front, an 80mm intake fan on the side, and space on the back for either a single 120mm exhaust fan or dual 80mm exhaust fans. Which would be the better...

I'm selling my Athlon XP stuff and moving to a 64 bit processor and I'm looking for a waterblock for it. I've been looking at both the DangerDen TDX and the Swiftech MCW6002-64, but I haven't been able to find any articles or reviews directly comparing the two. I'm open to any other brands but...

I'm much more familiar with Java than with C++, but I'm taking a course requiring C++. Here's my situation: I have 3 files: Master.h, Master.C, and master.C. In Master.h and Master.C I define the constructor Master(...). When I try to access the constructor in master.C it all blows up...

OK, so I'm contemplating making the move to an A64 and I was looking over on newegg. I'd rather not spend a bundle, so I'm thinking I'll just go with a socket 754 rather than a 939. I was looking at the 3400+, but newegg lists four seperate CPUs rated at 3400+. The first one is just a retail...

I'm having some sound problems in Far Cry, Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow, and Battlefield 1942. After a variable amount of playing time the sound becomes scratchy. The only way to fix it is to exit and restart the game. I'm using the integrated sound on my A7N8X Deluxe and a set of Altec...

OK, I have a broken Eheim 1250. Basically two blades on the impeller were cracked off during shipping. I've got a buyer interested and he wants to know if it works in its current condition. He's not worried about the missing impeller blades, he just wants to know if it'll still work. What's a...

I've seen the idea of pay to play games discussed around here a few times over the past few weeks in unrelated threads, so I figured I'd go ahead and create a new thread. I'm a relative n00b so forgive my if this topic has been discussed to death. I made this same post in a different thread, but...

OK, I didn't know where else to put this, so I decided to put it here since I'm doing some mild overclocking. I got off from work today and fired up my PC. I opened a browser window and the display died on me. I powered it down and walked away. I came back and powered it on...everything...

OK, I went ahead and got a heatercore + shroud from dangerden. I know, I know, it would have been cheaper to go to autozone for the heatercore and make my own shroud. I've had lots of little problems getting my WC setup off the ground up to this point, so I decided to go the easiest route...

OK, I got all of my watercooling gear setup this evening and plugged the pump in for a test run. Everything looked fine. Then I took a look at my res, the DangerDen dual bay res, and noticed that there's a small leak at the bottom edge. It's already in there and I can't think of an easy way...

The install instructions for the MAZE4 are just those for the MAZE3, and they say that the inlet is nearest the center of the block and the outlet is nearest the edge of the block. Is it just me or is there no specific inlet or outlet on the MAZE4? Also, where can I find 99% isopropyl...

I'm looking at a 500W PSU with the following specs: 3.3V is 15.0A, 5V is 40.0A, 12V is 19.0A, -5V is 0.6A, -12V is 0.6A, +5VSB is 2.0A Now I don't know a whole lot about PSUs, but that 15A on the 3.3V line seems pretty low. I believe the manufacturer is a company called Ultra, but I'm not...

WIll the Maze4 GPU block fit an X800 Pro? The website says it will fit a 9800, but it doesn't mention the new line of cards. Hell, is anyone watercooling an X800 Pro with another block they'd recommend? Thanks! Oh, and I'd like to try to keep the price around (or under) $40, which the Maze4...

I'm just looking for first hand opinions on eVGA. I'm looking at their 6800GT, but I know nothing about the company. I've currently got an x800 Pro and am considering checking out the 6800GT to see what all the fuss is about, and eVGA is the main company I'm looking at, if for no other reason...

I just installed some new RAM: 1Gig (2x512) of PC3700 purchased from http://www.komusa.com/1gbkit5pc46d1.html. When I ran CPUZ it identified the RAM as PC3200. At the moment, however, it's only running at 142.6 MHz. Is it registering as PC3200 because of the speed it's running at or did komusa...

I had this in a thread in the AMD processor section, but I guess it fits better here. Just looking for a second opinion, but is this RAM at least passable? I'm not looking for top of the line, but I also don't want complete crap. Then again, I just sold off some no name PC2700 RAM, so this...

OK, I'm playing around with overclocking for the first time and I had one pretty major question. When increasing my FSB I know that I should only do so in small increments so as to avoid destroying my processor. How do I do this? In my BIOS I have the option of setting the FSB to 100, 133, 166...
