thinking about trying a new MMORPG, got any suggestions?

I'm also having fun with Runes of Magic. Although it's technically free, it could easily become more expensive than a P2P MMO. If you want a mount or want to improve your character with upgraded weapons/armor/etc., you will need to spend some money.

Monitor issue?

Back to having problems. Spoke again with Acer tech support and they are brilliant. I need to update my drivers! That will fix my problem even though it happens before booting into windows. I explained to her how drivers work and she told me I could send it in for repairs. But, here's the...

Monitor issue?

Hi, Recently my ACER monitor has been giving me problems (I think it's the monitor). When I boot the system or come out of sleep, the picture is a scrambled mess. I'm usually able to get it to sync correctly by loading up a game. I've tried the DVI connection and the VGA connection. Tried...

Here's my crystaldiskmark after the firmware update: seq - 267.3, 73.2 512k - 208.5, 75.7 4k - 23.56,52.99 Unfortunately, I didn't mark down what I had prior to it, but as I mentioned before, it was really bad. Cut all those numbers in half and some. For those with questions about...

New x25-m firmware

I'm familiar with the issue, but I would just like to know if that is all there is to this firmware update. Although, I guess that is enough for me since it restored my drive to like new speed. I don't do anything abnormal. Just play games and normal desktop use. Don't benchmark much. I...

New x25-m firmware

Only had my x25-m for a couple months now. I did some Crystaldiskmark benching the last couple days and boy was it performing terribly. Writes under 10 MB/S at times in 4k writes. Even reads were pretty poor compared to when I first got it. It was very erratic. Heard some mention of a...

G.Skill DDR2-1066 - can't get to run at 1066

My G.Skill ddr2-1066 was giving me troubles at rated speeds for a while as well. I'm pretty sure it was overheating due to the fact that I'd burn my fingers if I kept it on one of the sticks for more than a few seconds. I picked up an Antec Spot cooler for them and no more issues. Helps keeps...

OCZ Vertex Review

I need to take a break from impulse buys too. Most recently, a Kindle II. That is a damn cool gadget though. Anyways, when should I expect my x25-m to start faltering? Only had it a few weeks and it's behaved perfectly an an OS drive so far with approximately 95% space used up. My Titan...

Recommend a 32GB SSD

keep in mind that the Vertex is not available yet so if his birthday is real soon then you'll have to look elsewhere. The Vertex has been coming soon since late December and keeps getting pushed back.

The time has come...

Since MS didn't want to fix mine for free, I decided I would try one of those X-Clamp replacement kits. Found one on Amazon for about $10.00. Opening it up was a bit of a pain, but a couple hours later, with minimal amount of blood loss, it's up and running again.

SSDs and Superfetch

G.Skill Titan tech support told me to disable Superfetch. Try it both ways and see how they work.

SSDs and Superfetch

They are both in Vista. I'm not 100% sure, but here's what I think they do: Prefetch - optomize boot times in the manner from your quote. Superfetch - basically, loads frequenetly used apps in memory so they start up faster. With the read speed and access time of SSDs, there really is no...
