X58 Sabertooth - Keep or Upgrade

I had a i7 920 @ 3.5Ghz and upgraded to Xeon X5650 @ 4.2Ghz. My cinebench R15 score went from 510 to 981. Thats equivalent to a 4770K score. Not bad for $70 upgrade. save your $$ and upgrade gfx card or to SSD.

Torchlight 2, My Impressions... (updated: 5/10/12 with Final Impressions)

I bet they will still make it "Summer 2012" release. which means by 9/28/12 Gamespot and other online retailers have Q3 2012 for release date which supports end of Sept date.. too bad, because I've dam bored with gaming lately besides playing the LT2 beta

I tried out playing Outlander. mixed feeling about it. The guns werent that powerful, I think this is suppose to the the ranger character which I typically stay away from. Maybe I will try out the engineer since I have some time still. If anyone is interested in joining a TL2 clan, please PM me.

Torchlight 2, My Impressions... (updated: 5/10/12 with Final Impressions)

I agree that the closed beta weekend ends on Tuesday 5/22, I was hoping it was going to be till midnight to allow couple more hours of game play after work. Oh well, on the flip side this could mean a very successful beta test without many hiccups and the final release coming sooner then later.

[MMO] World of Tanks

dont know why but I prefer T-50 over T-50-2, I think its because with a T-50 I only get into battles with max 7 tier heavies and can take couple good shots before going down while in the T-50-2 I have to deal with Tier 10 heavies which means usually being 1 shot victim.

Best upgrade from Radeon 4850 for $200?

Grab a used 4890 locally for ~ $120, much faster then 5770 and even 5830 by 7-10%. DX11 wont matter for another year even if it catches on. Dont think future proof.
