Type readibility

Hey all, I found a fix for this issue on the Mozilla Firefox forums: In Firefox in the address bar type "about:config" and hit enter. Click the "I'll be careful I promise!" button. In the search box paste in the "gfx.content.azure.enabled" string and it will jump to that configuration...

Type readibility

Hey bigboxes, My wifes PC started having this exact same issue a week or so ago. Oddly, the text reverts back to normal if you hover the mouse cursor over the text. It's almost like moving the cursor over the affected text refreshes it and fixes it. She does use Firefox, not sure what...

Crysis 2 Demo is out!

Change the FOV, it helps a lot. Here's a repost of TechBoyJK's settings: add this to your executable: ".....Crysis 2 Demo\bin32\Crysis2Demo.exe" +g_SkipIntro 1 +cl_fov 80 +pl_movement.power_sprint_targetFov 80 +r_DrawNearFoV = 90 More tweaks at the bottom, found on the Steam forums...

Playing Titan Quest again

The fan patch looks very interesting. My group isn't using it now, our reason being we want to play through the game on normal without any mods, and then install it on our Epic and Legendary playthroughs to spice things up. We just got to the second act (Egypt), so I'll keep an eye out for...

Playing Titan Quest again

Bringing this thread back to life to say that my coop group of friends and I started playing Titan Quest again (well, Immortal Throne really, as others have already mentioned above). I haven't played since it first came out in 2006/2007, and forgot how much fun it is! I'm playing an Oracle...

PC co-op reccomendations

My friends and I are playing Titan Quest Immortal Throne again... it is a blast with 4 players. And the graphics have held up amazingly well for a game that came out in 2006/2007... I was pleasantly surprised. It runs a lot smoother on modern systems, no surprise there. I remember there being...

spinpoint f3 1tb disk $51 shipped from ewiz

Check your S/N again, make sure you didn't mistake any 0's for O's (Zero's for O's), or vice versa. I did the same thing.

spinpoint f3 1tb disk $51 shipped from ewiz

My drive arrived today in a single slot foam enclosure that was the exact size as the shipping box as well. They even put in an air pillow to buffer the drive. No complaints with the way it was shipped. Very solid. However, I'm getting code 101 as well: This product is a component of a system...

In for 1 as well, been looking for one of these to go on sale... thanks OP. Hopefully the packaging doesn't suck and the HD arrives undamaged... the packaging from Superbiiz kind of suck as Lanyap has pointed out. Update: The drive arrived today in a single slot foam enclosure that was...

My E8400 seems fast enough, can't seem to justify an upgrade

I have an E8400 @ 4Ghz right now, and that's plenty fast for all the games I play. Don't do any encoding, so no need for a quad core yet. Get a SSD next, that'll be a huge jump in performance.

Core 2 Duo E8400 is same as i3 or i5?

I have both CPU's in two machines, and can't tell the difference between them performance wise. Use both machines for games only, and of course browsing. The i3 is a lot cheaper than the E8400 though, so that's definitely the way to go. E8400 @ 4Ghz (air) in my machine, stable since...

What INTEL CPU do you currently use? Post here!

E8400 OC to 4Ghz (air) in my machine. It's been stable since December 2008... i3-530 @ 4Ghz (air) in GF's machine. Stable since March 2010. Both machines used for gaming. No audio/video encoding/decoding, so no i7's used yet.
