Well I waited for about a week and a half after the release date and there really didn't seem to be any new news on gaming sites on whether IW.NET (Infinity Ward's P2P matchmaking system) was better, worse, or just what everyone was expecting. I started doing some research and I found some gaming fo...

I'm so psyched for this! I hope they add a map where you get up at 4 am, shake your boots for scorpions and head to mess... then maybe we can stand guard at the gate for 5-6 hrs, all the while applying sunscreen at regular intervals to avoid sunburn!

I see how that worked out, saw you guys playing the L4D2 demo the day it was available for people that pre-ordered it! :lol: I must say I was kind of skeptical about whether it would be different enough to warrant a standalone title, but after playing the demo a few times there is enough difference ...

If you're looking at netbooks because of the price, and you don't need one right away, keep an eye out for "open box" laptop deals from some online retailers like tigerdirect or newegg. My dad got an open box laptop for about $400, it's faster than any netbook because it's not using a slower/low pow...

Antec Sonata Elite, $99, no PSU, very quiet http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129057 Although I don't have experience with this particular case, I built a gaming rig for a friend of mine a couple years ago with a Sonata II and it was whisper quiet, even when the cpu fan kicked...

I probably won't get W7 till it gets it's first service pack, like I did with Vista. As smooth as the RC ran on my computer, there's bound to be certain things that will still need patching after the release... that, and I just re-loaded everything on my computer after doing a mobo/cpu/ram upgrade a...

I've been looking at building a barebones system with an Atom 330 (dual core 1.6 ghz) and 2gb ram, possibly with some flavor of linux... I'm just wondering if anyone's built one or has a netbook with a 330 that can give me some idea of it's overall performance. I'm not looking for lightning quick bo...

You're right, voltage and timings should be auto-detected, but I've seen my fair share of boards that still need to be manually configured (timing-wise) despite the ram having an SPD chip. If manual configuration doesn't work, you may have a bad board... especially if the memory works on other syste...

oh ok I was thinking you were talking about the airbender movie.. heh

edit: I just watched the trailer and it does look interesting!

Haven't been playing much of anything lately. When I do sit down to play it's either Far Cry 2, or COD:World at War multiplayer. I downloaded the DIRT demo a little while ago, curious if they're going to have a PC demo for DIRT2 so I can check it out... Anyone pick up the new Wolfenstein?... any good?

I agree the trailer looks good. I've never watched the series so I don't know the story at all. Given that, I'll probably be more apt to enjoy the movie than someone who's an avid watcher of Avatar... hopefully they'll give enough info on the story that people like me will still know what's going on...

The first thing I would try is unplugging the power and data cables from ALL of your drives, and removing all cards except video, and disconnect all external devices except for your keyboard, just to see if you can achieve POST with the new memory. If you get POST with the new memory using the above...

I wonder how many of the PAHs created from the charcoal and lighter fluid actually make it into the food? As I understand it, these carcinogens are created upon the expenditure of those types of fuels. By the time I put my meat and veggies on the grill, the coals are white and the flame is long gone...

This might be a long shot, but for the website re-directs, it could be as simple as checking your hosts file to make sure that they aren't just being redirected from there. Open regedit and browse to this key: "\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters" and look for an e...

ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLrightythen!
