Hmm I didn't get an email in the email I expected it to go to. Can you send me a PM with a hint on which email it was? Thanks!

Problems getting back into old account.

Hi, I used to have an account Mavrick007 and I'm having problems using the converter to get my password working so I can get into the account. I'm not sure I have the right email, but I do still have access to the email that I would have registered with. Can one of the admins help me out?

Looking to buy a 360

That's interesting you had this problem. I was playing Halo 3 online last night with my friend on Live (doing the Campaign co-op), and we kept stuttering every so often too (in big action areas), sometimes it would freeze right up, and then it would smooth out again. I started the game so I...

Yes, but that's why you don't go on live with it. There are ways around it though.

anyone ever send in an Elite for repair (Updated July 9th)

Actually, you're right.. I take that back. I just got a Jasper Pro model a week ago and we modded it and in our testing used my friend's power brick from his Elite and it worked fine. I didn't realize mine was a Jasper until checking the brick/back of the case but it does appear that they will...

Verdict: COD: WaW Officially Sucks

Have they fixed the saving of a co-op game? We played it on the 360 and after playing several hours, we tried to save and couldn't find a save option, but thought that it might just save it for you.. nope, not an option. We checked out some forums and apparently that's not an option and was an...

Looking to buy a 360

I just bought a 360 from a guy who won it and already has one for a really sweet deal. It was never opened and it does seem to be a Jasper too (150watt 12.1A). We modded it and it plays everything well since it has the Liteon drive. It's the Pro 60gig version so they are fairly easy to find now...

What are you playing this weekend? (6/19)

It's raining so besides work I'm staying in. Might play some Far Cry 2, just started it a few days ago and it's pretty fun.. hard game, but fun. Maybe get back into Metal Gear Solid 4, or play some of the Fallout 3 expansions. It may be a time to get my desktop back in order to play a stack that...

If you send in a Falcon, you will definitely NOT get a Jasper back because they use a different power brick and the connector is different. When you send in your unit, they have to send you one back that's compatible, but you never send in the power supply or the hard drive/peripherals (and...

Downloaded file doesn't show in directory and can not find in search.

Well, I finally found the file. It's strange though because I couldn't find it in a search previously, but I shortened the name and used wildcards and lo and behold, it was in the cache. Funny that the search didn't bring it up the last time. I have since deleted the duplicate file and moved the...

Be careful what you wish for because I would rather not go back to the days where Intel could charge whatever they wanted for their chips and hardware. It would be good if Evga and XFX started selling both ATI and Nvidia cards.. maybe they'd do a step up from an Nvidia card to an ATI card or...

Whats the most expensive part of your system??

My stupid motherboard (way too expensive), then my overpriced ram, then my cpu, followed by my 22" lcd. Hindsight is 20/20 so they say and I know things that I would not have bought now had I known what might have changed with specs and pricing very shortly after purchasing my parts.

Physx cards worth it for ATi owners?

It would be more worth it to spend the money on another card to run CF or SLI rather than run 1 vid card and the PhysX card. I'd rather have faster frames than slow and pretty fireworks.

Did anyone actually order this? It says OOS but to place your order for when it's available it takes you to a form where you can leave a message.. but I don't feel good about putting my cc number on an open form so I am just requesting them to call me.

Heat from monitors - Can you avoid it?

Do you need them on all at the same time? If so, then putting a box fan at the back and blowing across should circulate the heat, but you will need to open a window or something to dissipate the air. I'd hate to see it there in the summer.. that will be murder.

Battlefield: Heroes

There's also a *free* Quake and an Unreal game coming out this year too.. and all will be full of in-game ads, even Battlefield Heroes. I think they want to get some good publicity and that might make people buy into their old as well as new games coming out.

What new games are around the corner?

Your card will be worth more in the long run than a 7900GT would with the difference right now. Like they are saying, if you don't need the extra $50 or so, then just keep the 8800GT. I wish I had one right now :(

What is Samsung's policy on dead pixels?

According to this, on a 21"-24" Samsung monitor, they do not replace unless there are 17 or more dead pixels. Samsung Policy I know that 1 dead pixel is irritating, especially if it's in an area that you look at quite often. You might get by and be able to bring the pixel back to life...

nVidia to bury another compeditor?

If AMD did release a new great card then it might actually drop the price of Nvidia's top offering and maybe they'd release their next gen earlier instead of hanging onto the laurels of their 8800GTX card. I can't believe the card still goes for almost the same price as when it came out over a...

Is it worth it to upgrade from this?

Well, if it's games that you are interested in the most, try upgrading your graphics card and maybe add a bit more ram.. that would take you to less than $400 and should get you by for awhile longer until you buy your laptop. If you want a decent new system now, you could probably get by with a...

How Many Burns can A DVD burner Take?

There's no way to tell how long a burner will work. Sure there are MTBF ratings but that doesn't mean your drive won't fail after a few burns or a few hundred burns. I've put several hundred burns on my old burner and it's still going as well as when I first bought it. I would not worry about...

You can get a 256Meg x1900XT for $199 AMR at the Egg now so I might suggest that rather than hope to get a good overclock if you want a good deal.

Recommend Me Some Upgrades

video card first and then your cpu or ram (would be nice to go dual core of at least 4400-4800+ and 2Gigs of ram). Get the best video card you can afford (don't even know if you'll get very good frames if an 8600GT was out right now).

Planned Build for the new year, opinions?

I'd say the OCZ psu should be able to power the 8800GTS/X in SLI if you get the 700watt or higher but I don't have this PSU so I can't verify it.
