Situation - I'm in the middle of changing jobs, with a "gap" in the middle between them so I'm having to really not spend money for a couple of months until the first few paychecks fill the "gap"...I'm sure we've all been there at some point. So naturally, since the timing was perfect, my...

As the subject line says, I've got a Z68 system with a 60GB SSD caching an HDD using the motherboard's Intel RST caching capability. The problem is recently I replaced my 750GB HDD with a 1.5TB drive. Then the 1.5TB drive started making some unhappy noises and reporting some errors, so I got...

Just wondering; I've got Borderlands through Steam, and D2D has the GOTY version for $11.95 today; I recommended it to a friend, but I'm wondering if we'd be able to play co-op even though I'm through Steam and he's through D2D. My gut feeling is "yes, but you wouldn't be able to Shift-Tab and...

I have an old Northwood P4 3GHz box I've got set up now in my living room as a general media/surfing box. Sucker's pretty noisy, and I determined it was the stock Intel CPU heatsink/fan as the culprit (that room stays pretty warm, so the fan's always on high struggling to keep the CPU cool)...

Note - this is NOT a piracy issue - I'm talking about LEGALLY loaning (or selling) somebody a game the same way you'd loan somebody a book: you can't read a book you've loaned to someone, and in the same way you can't play a game that requires the game CD that you've loaned to someone. Classic...

Hope this is the right place to post this...just wanted to share an experience and reinforce TEST YOUR NEW MEMORY FIRST!!! Got some of that $86/free shipping 1GB (2x 512) Corsair PC3200 Value Select stuff. A friend of mine told me (and I believe him now) that "If you can't get a 24 hour...
