    Better gaming performance with upgrading to Q9000 from a P8700?

    I generally avoid trying to upgrade for the future. There's no real point getting a quad now if you aren't playing games that make use of it - you might as well wait until a game that you want to play that really needs a quad comes out. Even then, it might not be worth it, since it'll reduce the...

    Better gaming performance with upgrading to Q9000 from a P8700?

    I highly doubt it'd be worth it for gaming. Most games today still don't benefit that much from having more than 2 cores, and you'll see a (sometimes rather noticeable) drop in framerates considering how much slower each core will be if you get the Q9000. Of the games you mention, I've played...

    Steam Weekend Deal - Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

    Jedi Knight II! To this day, it's still one of my favorite games. I've played hundreds of hours of Jedi Academy too, but almost all of that was multiplayer.

    How to set AA/AF settings with ATI graphic cards?

    Unreal engine games that have profiles in the Catalyst drivers will work properly, if you've got AI on. For other/newer UE3 games, renaming the exe to ut3.exe or bioshock.exe often works.

    Don't forget that specific filters can be different even if you're both using the same plugin. He might have stricter ABP filters in place than you.

    some quick pointers for a new SSD user

    I'm curious, what's the reasoning behind this? Isn't the ~5.6GB of reserved space that the 80GB G2s come with enough for TRIM and other maintenance needs?

    What should I play (from this list)?

    Dawn of War! At least play through the original game - it was fantastic. Winter Assault was fun too, but the story wasn't quite as polished. Like Elcs said, the expansions after WA don't add real storylines, but the inclusion of more races is nice. I've spent hundreds of hours just playing...

    is a E2200 much better then a penitum D

    I am being reasonable. In fact, the very reason I even mentioned a BSEL mod is because it's a Dell. It's a straightforward procedure that's been done on quite a few Dells (with that same processor, no less) in the past.

    What would outperform my 74GB raptor?

    That doesn't seem worthwhile at all considering you can get a good SSD for around that price. Though I'm guessing you want more space than a cheaper SSD would give you.

    Anyone picking up/awaiting Metro 2033

    From a technical standpoint, this game's graphics are significantly better than MW2's graphics. I had to drop down to DX10 "high" instead of "very high" and lower my resolution to 1280x800 to get playable framerates on my 4850, but it still looks fantastic. That being said, the game is driving...

    Best game like AOE II

    The Civ games are great in their own right, but they're turn based and may not appeal to you (they're not really anything like the AoE games in terms of gameplay). If you want to give turn based strategy a shot though, you can jump right into Civ4 assuming your system can handle it. I've spent...

    I bought two 5870s today after reading the GTX 480 reviews yesterday

    Who says he would be happy with just 35 FPS? Oh, and don't forget Metro 2033 - that game runs even worse than Crysis in some cases.

    Damn, Metro runs that well for you? I had to drop from "very high" to "high" to get playable framerates on my 4850, and that's only at 1280x800.

    You grouped PhysX together with AI improvements? Not seeing the logic behind that one. Good AI makes a huge difference in gameplay and immersion. PhysX, on the other hand, has mainly been used for inconsequential cosmetic additions.

    WoW benchmarks with GTX 480?

    It's surprising how slow this game runs on such powerful hardware. I seem to remember it being playable on IGPs at some point in time. Is it only the expansions that make it so demanding? It was a legitimate request for benchmarks for a popular game. There's no need to be a dick about it.

    i can't tell the difference in speeds between Intel 80gb and OCZ Agility SSDs

    Wow, prices have gone up a lot on some drives. I remember seeing a deal way back in September for a 120GB Agility + keyboard for $245; now Newegg sells that drive for $330. lol, no. My 60GB Agility has 0.2-0.3ms response times. I'm betting the difference between that and the response times of...

    Easily the MX518, considering how cheap it is. I saw it for $25 on Newegg a week or two ago, and it's still only about $30.

    How does the ocz agility compare? Looking to throw in laptop

    No, GC runs by itself when the drive is idle. It's on the controller level; the OS can't do anything to stop/start GC. The easiest way to let GC do its thing is to reboot into the BIOS and just leave it there for a few hours. This isn't necessary unless you're seeing an actual dropoff in your...

    Is Speed Improvement with SSD Significant in Normal Computing Use?

    I don't have a system with a Raptor for reference, but I swapped my laptop's 5400 RPM drive for a 60GB OCZ Agility (Indilinx) SSD and the difference is very noticeable. Stuff just comes up in a fraction of a second now, and I've started using my laptop a lot more than my desktop just because the...

    Another budget drive (32GB OCZ Onyx) announced

    Sequential speeds also don't mean that much to a lot of people. My laptop's limited to SATA I, but I still got an OCZ Agility for it. What really matters for me is the huge boost in random speed and the [relatively] near-zero latency.

    Diablo2 Ladder reset + patch March23

    duragezic: It's always been like that with expired characters. They last until someone tries to make a character with the same name on the same realm. If you've got characters with obscure names that no one will try to use, then your expired characters will last for a very long time.

    ThinkPad Laptop - High pitch buzzing when not plugged in

    Is it just the noise made by the CPU frequency/power states changing? Try setting it to either high performance or power saver (so the CPU won't change at all) and see if the noise goes away. Some more info: http://forum.rightmark.org/topic.cgi?id=6:852

    New gaming rig-Win XP Pro or Win7?

    Why do you care? It's a netbook. How much RAM could you possibly have? After the first or second service pack, Vista was (and still is) a great OS. 7 improves upon it even further, and adds some great features. Both are easily preferable to XP unless you're using very dated hardware, which you...

    How does the ocz agility compare? Looking to throw in laptop

    Updating the FW is simple if you do it via USB. I just took a flash drive and made it bootable and put the firmware installer on it. There's detailed instructions on the OCZ forum. As for the OS, I used Win7. It's by far the simplest as far as SSDs are concerned - TRIM works out of the box...

    How does the ocz agility compare? Looking to throw in laptop

    It's freaking fast. For day to day use, there's no real point overpaying for the premium SSDs. I've been using the 60GB Agility in my laptop (Thinkpad T61) for a few weeks now, and it's great. I don't have an X-25 to compare it to, but I honestly can't see how it could be much faster than this...

    Diablo2 Ladder reset + patch March23

    There's also supposed to be some secret way to get more than the normal 3 respecs which they want players to figure out on their own. I haven't been on the diablo forums in ages though; maybe it's already been figured out.

    Firefox: removing back/forward buttons but not the dropdown?

    History menu's a little obtrusive, making the rest of the window smaller. I'm being nitpicky; it's not a big deal that the forward and back buttons are there. I just like to have as few unnecessary buttons taking up space as possible.

    Firefox: removing back/forward buttons but not the dropdown?

    Is there any way to remove the back and forward buttons in Firefox, but keep the little dropdown arrow that lets you see the list of recent pages? I've got mouse buttons to take single steps back/forward, so I don't need those buttons at all. I don't want to get rid of the dropdown, though.

    Add SLI 9800 GTX or upgrade

    Yep, not worth it to go SLI. At that resolution, lack of VRAM will choke you (assuming it's a 512MB 9800GTX).
