MB selection and UEFI questions

Well, thanks everyone. I think this answers my question, an SSD, W7, and the aforementioned ASRock MB should get me what I want. Now off to the Video Card subforum to sort out that dilemma...

MB selection and UEFI questions

So operating system aside, boot times like this are possible with a modern MB and a SSD? Or is this some kind of S3 power state voodoo?

MB selection and UEFI questions

I am upgrading my PC soon, and have been gifted a i5-2500k to start with, but but I've been out of the PC hardware scene for a couple years. I have a Samsung Series 9 laptop and it cold boots in just under 10 seconds. I was thinking, is this possible on a desktop PC? I remember reading about...

Don't go around train crossing gates when down.

I grew up in this backward hick town disguised as a city and I am only surprised this doesn't happen more. Of all the places I've lived I have never encountered a larger concentration of stupid people.

They could start by putting a muzzle on that douchenozzle Cliff Bleszinski. His PC gaming comments aren't helping Epics image. Beyond that I want to believe them because I remember the awesomeness that was UT and UT2k4. Maybe they really believe the risk reward ratio of a blockbuster title...

Scientific analyses always make for interesting reads but this is one of those cases where real world results matter most. As far as I'm concerned the Galaxy S series wins. It just looks better, I don't know why.

They should just quarantine the east bay and let the people riot and pillage. Nothing of value will be lost. And it should prove to be a spectacular show from here in San Francisco.

Any decent Fallout 3 UI mods? Other essential mods?

As I remember even on the maximum settings the textures were horrible pixelated crap. And the LOD meshes/textures were even worse. It honestly felt like a step down from oblivion. So yeah, it needs mods.

Epic Blames PC Piracy for Its Focus on Consoles

UT3 was a pile of crap. I bought it on release for $50 because the original and 2k4 were so awesome I was thinking UT3 would be the same. Boy was I wrong. Go ahead and blame pirates though. The truth is UT3 didn't sell because it was crap and GoW didn't sell well on the PC because everybody...

I've sold stuff on Craigslist before, but I always met the buyer in a public place in the middle of the day. I would never invite a stranger to my home. I actually met one buyer in the parking lot of a nearby highway patrol station. I don't trust people I don't know. This story is sad, but I'm...

Thank you GM!

You realize you just proved my point right? Ford survived on their own and has been profitable in the recent past. GM took a lot of tax money and is all but completely owned by its union now. They still lose money on cars they sell. I think that defines failure.

Supcom 2!

It probably sold horribly. Hence the dumbing down of its sequel. They really did gut the game by removing the original economy system. It makes sense though, the company is struggling and if I remember correctly they just had to lay off a bunch of people. This game caters to the lowest common...

Wow... They killed the series. And I'm not exaggerating at all. They did away with the old "pay as you go" economy and experimental units are very lame and weak. There is nothing that separates this game from other RTS's now. Everything it does has been done before and done better. I loved...
