    If you could only buy 1 Xbox 360 or PS3?

    PS3 by far. Ive always been a die hard Sony Console fan and theres a simple reason behind that. Sonys systems have far better exclusive gaming titles then XBOX has and will ever have. I admit that i love Splinter Cell I, II, III but it runs great on my PS2 as those KOTOR I & II on my PC. You...

    EA allegedly catches up on BF2 stats

    I can only recommend that you try and stick with EA servers under 32 players. Out of the 20+ hours i played, 80% have been on EA servers and i havent had a problem with the Stat tracking.

    BF2 awards, ranks, stats, etc.

    Kit medals (Especially Offensive Ones) are generally aquried by having a good combat score during the game. For instance if you kill about 13 people with the sniper rifle, youll get a Basic Sniper Award. Spec Ops is similar, but if you blow a tank up with C4 its more impressive then just...

    Cooling laptop

    Unless you think opening your laptop up is a safer way ... but i wouldnt recommend it. I do the compressed air thing all the time with My HP ZX5000 and the dust comes right out. If you spray it when the fan isnt on, then you may have a problem with the dust getting into the system.

    How's This? HP ZD7000

    I have the zx5000 model and its only 15.4", its a bitch to carry around campus....unless space is the absolute number one thing i would recommend either getting a smaller laptop or just get a desktop. The ZD7000 is not meant to be carried around much, although like the zx5000 its an excellent...

    Are HP Laptops reliable?

    Ive had my ZX5000 for a few months now and it works great. The only problem i have with hit is due to software (Internet Explorer and Spyware Dueling it out). As for battery life on a 12 cell with the backlight all the way out i get about 2 hours which isnt bad for a full out 3.0GHZ P4 desktop...

    looking for laptop with 128mb video card under $1500

    Cyberpower PC and Ibuypower computers are offered at awesome prices, but there customer service and quality suck. If your looking for warranty then i would not recommend either of them, price is nice, but you always get what you pay for

    so I'm narrowed down to 4 choices. Help pick.

    I'd go with the HP, but thats becuase i recommended it to you in the first place. 2nd choice would be the emachines, as it outperforms many 128mb card systmes, although not the HP. I sell computers for Best Buy, and the emachines is the best retail bang for the buck, but remember even with a...
