    How do you use "once per day ability" in Skyrim?

    Like I rolled an Altmer and he has the Highborn ability. But I don't know how to use it. I can't equip it in one of my hands like the other spells so what do I do to actually use it?

    Worth it to upgrade from an 8800gts 512 to 5770?

    Hi there. I only play one game currently, Aion. I dont plan on playing anything else for a while. Last night I bumped up the resolution to 1920X1080 with 8x AA and all features turned on and REALLY liked how it looked but frame was a bit laggy in the cities and I didnt even try the Abyss yet. So...

    Now that the shiny newness is gone how is Aion?

    I was thinking of buying a copy of the game and trying it out but I wanted to wait until the game had been out for a while and then get peoples opinion. Is it worth playing?

    Upgraded to new card. Ntune and Windows still see old card.

    Hi guys, well I finally replaced my aging 7900GT with a super cool 8800GTS 512mb card.

I spend all this money...

    Worth it to upgrade from a 7900GT to 8800GTS?

    Hello, I was wondering if it would be worth it to upgrade from my 7900gt 256mb to the 8800gts 320mb video card (maybe the 640 but it would be a stretch for my budget). I currently get roughly 30-40 fps in Stalker but I would like to be able to turn on sun shadows too and still keep my fps. I...

    Why do people say Macs are better for photo and video editing?

    Does it have to say 64 bit on the box? (Vista)

    I want the 64 bit edition but all the retail sites dont specify between 32 or 64 bit versions. Does Vista run on either depending on your processor or do I have to seek a scecific version?

    Ok, this is probably a stupid question...

    but let's say I were to install Vista on a new Raptor I would buy. Could I leave my harddrive with XP (and all my mp3's) hooked and still be able to retrieve my mp3's from said harddrive while in Vista? That way I could transfer the mp3's to the new hard drive, wipe the old one and put the mp3's...

    Daedra Worship in Oblivion?

    Has anybody gone to any of the daedra shrines and done the small tasks that they ask? Are their any reprisals in the game for doing so? Any rewards? Since they are so obviously evil I am worried about being kicked out of the mages guild if I do the quests.

    I'm not talking about the ones that are cute or a novelty. I'm talking about the mods that you guys use everytime you play no matter what because it improves the looks or the performance of Oblivion. What are the core mods that you guys couldn't imagine playing Oblivion without?

    Glad to see the 7800 prices falling.

    I have not been following these cards closely but I was dismayed by the $550 sticker price for the 7800GTX when they first came out. But browsing Newegg just now I noticed that some are selling for $479 and the 7800 GTs are hovering at aroung $400. Maybe I can upgrade sooner than I thought :D .
