He did make up his mind; he wanted both. What part of his post indicated that he was on the fence? He's asking for help, not to be berated for his wishlist. Points for saying "please," at least =)

Vostro 260, not the 's' model.

Hey guys, OK, so I'm looking to do a cheap upgrade to a Dell business computer that is currently in my care. One day it will be returned to the office, but it's mine for now. That being the case, I can't do too much to this thing. It has an OEM copy of Win 7 Pro 64 attached to it, so I can't go...

Yes, continue being screwed by GameStop, don't support the devs and watch the flawed system move along in its broken state. Sit back, relax and get your popcorn while you "deal with it." Brilliant solution. Meanwhile, other people will be trying to make a change in how things work. Which you, in...

I basically agree with this in theory. I'm one of those insane people who was 100% behind Microsoft's original plan with the Xbox One and I am livid that they rolled it back. I would much rather have the option of playing my game collection without having to swap discs than to have the option of...

Semantics. If you buy a game for $60, take it home and beat it in a couple days, then trade it back in, you've essentially rented it. You know who sells movies? College kids who need to pay rent. People who have a DVD collection that they don't need any more because they upgraded to Blu Ray...

I completely disagree with this. When movies are shown on cable, or rented out from RedBox or watched on Netflix, do you think that those companies reap all the profits and nothing goes back to the content owner? Because you're whacked out of your melon if you think that's the case. Selling a...

This will be the last Dark Souls, barring any expansions. They already said they have no desire to make another Dark Souls game. That doesn't mean there won't be another Souls game, obviously. I hope they stick to that plan.

Pretty good deal on this, especially since it's a digital code and you don't have to wait for a card to ship. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16874103299

Funny, I thought he meant the render engine in Blender.

Thanks, I just looked it up and apparently I should be all set. It won't run as efficiently or quickly as it would in a 2.0 system but whatever. I'm not looking for anything amazing out of this system, I just want to be able to mess around with UDK and Blender. I think I'll pick up a 6670...

OK, so I'm using a computer that came from work and in PC Wizard, it reads the following for the PCIe info: Bus PCI-Express : Device : G35/G33/G31/P35/P31 Version : 1.0 Port : 2 Physical Slot : #0 Slot Populated : No Link Width : max. x16 Link Speed : 2.5 GB/s I have no clue when it...

Being a Dell, I'm sure this mobo has zero OC potential. But I'll take a look anyways. Doesn't hurt to try!

Thanks! I'm not looking for anything mind-blowing when it comes to gaming. I do most of my gaming on 360 anyways due to friends being on Live. Really what I'm looking to do is practice with Blender and the UDK. I plan to build a "modern" rig sooner or later, but I've been without a decent...

Whoa... I'm taking a PC from work (not stealing, they know I'm taking it) that has an E7400 @ 2.8ghz and 2 gigs of ram. So if I pop a video card in there, maybe 2 more gigs of ram and install Win 7, I should have a gaming capable system? If that's the case, what video card would be smart to get...

Wait, so even though the "oldschool" desktop is still functional and available in Windows 8, people are going to 100% dismiss it because of Metro? Riiiiiiight...

You know who else can't wait for that? Kids that can't build a monster PC that want to enjoy new games. The superiority complex around here is insane. Anyways, that walkthrough is far more fascinating to me than the Elemental Knight demo itself. Seeing those things being manipulated in real...

The video was released last night. Gametrailers has it here: http://www.gametrailers.com/video/exclusive-elemental-unreal-engine/731875 But the more impressive video is this walkthrough of what the engine can do: http://www.gametrailers.com/video/exclusive-development-unreal-engine/731871...

I sure do. I also specifically remember thinking "you know, I really wish Epic had made this instead of Legend." So yes, I still want Epic to make a new Unreal, considering they really didn't have anything to do with the sequel.

Dude, why are you trolling your own forum? ;)

It would blow my mind if they'd make a new Unreal game that wasn't part of the "Tournament" universe. They'd have to make more than just a pretty shooter for that to be anything important in today's world, though. I doubt they'd bother, unfortunately. Unreal was amazing back in the day, but that...

I personally think this is amazing. Are the textures that great? No, but have you guys looked at Skyrim? Are the textures BAD? Not even close. Let's be reasonable, here. We're talking about a tech demo that was created in three months. Of course it will look "better" in motion. It's hard to...

RAAAAAAAAAAAAGE!!! I was so busy this weekend that I never went to any of my typical websites, such as here. I finally got the green light from my wife to start buying parts for my new PC, and I come here today to find this! *sigh*

Here's an important question... were the bugs all dead? It's hard to tell, but in the cleaning video, it looks like some of them are flying around. Might just be the wind outside or something, but that was horrifying!

You are the man. Much appreciated! Nice call on that case, that is EXACTLY what I had in mind, but had zero clue how to go about finding without just looking at case, after case, after case...

Honestly? Stick with Blender. It IS free, you're right. And there are a lot of resources out there on how to use it. I started with an older version a couple years ago and when the new version popped up, I was like "eh?" To be honest, it's one of those things that comes so naturally once you've...

Hey everyone. I'm planning a build which is going to eventually become a gaming/browsing/coding/modelling system. I have the majority of the parts already picked out on paper. Time is a bit of an issue, as I currently have a (really terrible) desktop and a work laptop that is going to be MIA for...

I think marylandman's point was that "rumor and speculation" != "marketing bs." In other words, some people think it, but Intel isn't marketing it this way.

I don't think anyone is acting entitled to anything other than an acknowledgement. And let's be honest here: they ARE entitled to it. Why? BECAUSE THESE ARE THE PEOPLE THAT MADE THEM RICH IN THE FIRST PLACE. It is cruel for Valve to flat out say they are making something and then just drop it...

Short of using Blender and getting back into programming, this is the exact reason I can't wait to build a new PC. I want to get into developing mods for games. There are so many quests in the actual game that I found myself saying "man, they dropped the ball on that one... the quest should have...

If I could get a job in the game industry, I would. In a heartbeat. It's a medium I love dearly, and I enjoy creating. I've tried, quite a few times, and came AGONIZINGLY close, to break in, but it just hasn't happened yet. Haven't given up, though. And it has nothing to do with getting rich...

I like how Corsair makes good products that I can potentially win in a contest!

+1. The only reason I clicked on the comments link for this story was because I saw "Graphene" in the image. First, new computing, then... SPACE ELEVATOR!!!

I don't understand how exactly this is fleecing anyone. I had a two year contract with AT&T which ended earlier this year. There was no reason for me to buy an iPhone 4 yet as it was obvious that not too much later there would be a new release. I've now skipped two generations of iPhones...

Bezant, you can't talk to wikipedia. You can tell Siri to set a reminder for you to do something when you leave somewhere. It will set up a digital fence around that area geographically, so when you leave those borders, you're reminded to do what you told it to remind you to do. It does a lot...

And there it is. $199 16gb 4S, $99 8gb 4, $free 8gb 3GS. Pretty spiffy.

Did you read the stuff about Siri? Cuz that is pretty earth-shattering.

That's it. I'm sold. The only thing that could make Siri even more perfect is if I could tell it "Order me a large pepperoni pizza from Tomato & Cheese" and have it place the order directly via text. I guarantee that is right around the corner.

Wow, Siri is going to be amazing if it works as intended. Meaning, if that isn't a BS stage demo that's going on. Seriously, that's Star Trek shit right there.

8 megapixel camera, 1.1 seconds to first shot, .5 seconds per shot after that. 1080p video recording. Very nice. This really WILL be the best camera I've ever owned.
