8800gt to 6850?

My situation is similar. I have an 8800GT with an e8400 CPU. I've bought some games that are on the back burner because I can't play them well enough: Crysis Gothic 3 Risen Batman Arkham etc. I'm upgrading the GPU now because of all the new releases. I'm looking at ether the 5850, 5870, or...

Fallout 3 GOTY: Help me not suck!

You can do the Operation Anchorage DLC to get power armor and power armor training. Pretty much you can do it right away after you leave the vault at the beginning. This gets you a set of decent power armor that never degrades.

MT tests 2011 Mustang GT vs 2010 M3

I totally agree with KIAman. Case in point. My friend used to own a 2000 Mustang GT. He would brag all day about how cheap he got it and how it would smoke my BMW. Now that he makes a better money, he drives a Mercedes. He rarely talks about his Mustang at all now, and raves all day...

Best way to unfreeze bread?

Pretty much what others have said. I've tried them all and the best method is to plan a bit ahead and thaw them out in the original frozen bag on the counter overnight. Tastes pretty close to the original flavors as long as you don't have freezer burn. I also use the freezer bags, which...

5770 a good upgrade for my 8800?

In a similar boat. CPU e8400, 8800GT. Have a 24" at 1980 x 1200 resolution (?). Whats a good card to upgrade to? 5770 or 5850? I play all types of games, but mainly RPG and RTS. I do sometimes play FPS, but nothing intensive like Crysis. The latest I've played is Stalker.

D40x kit @ Costco $599

I've been looking at the comparison of the cameras on Nikon's site and also dpreview. I'm trying to understand a bit more on the differences. I do not see how to determine the auto focusing motor on the camera itself. On dpreview for example, the only area where I think I see it is the...

D40x kit @ Costco $599

I've been looking to purchase an entry level DSLR. How important is it to have the camera with an auto focus motor? I take it this means I can buy any lens without a motor and the camera will control the lens focusing automatically? I would think this is a minus because what if the motor...

Partial upgrade

s44, For got to mention it, yes. RAM is dirt cheap, so forgot to include. But I'm planning to pick up 2Gigs for $29. Was just wondering if its ok to still go for an AGP card, or rather, try to upgrade cheaply to PCI-e, and get something that I can use later on in future builds. I...

New gaming build with some items purchased already

Thats funny that you pointed that out DSF. I ended up getting those last night at Frys. And to answer your question, I've been burned by ID theft in the past, and have attributed it to online purchasing. So I don't do it anymore. The system is up and running. Thanks for all the advice...
