Make sure they are enabled in the BIOS.

I have an X-Fi and I run Windows Vista x64 without any problems. The drivers have never crashed on me, and I haven't experienced a single bug. I haven't been doing much PC gaming recently, however, since I don't like installing root kits and spyware on my computer. :rolleyes:

If your hardware is using a stable overclock you can run absolutely everything you would otherwise. I have an overclocked machine running Vista x64 without a problem.

I've played through Command and Conquer 3 in Vista x64. I've run 32 and 64-bit versions and it seems to me that 32-bit Vista breaks almost as many apps as 64-bit does only you lack the ability to take advantage of 64-bit applications (and there actually are some out there now-a-days). Sticking...

I have a Zen MicroPhoto which is pretty much identical to the Zen Micro in size. It's thicker than a Nano but also shorter in height. I got it because it's a hard drive player unlike the Nano. Thats' why I paid $160 for 8 GB of space when the Nano was selling for $200 for a 2 GB version. The...

The Zune is a rebadged Toshiba product. Microsoft's previous "effort" is why I was leery of their Zune. If they don't make money they cut and run. Do you remember their router line? Yeah, no one else does.

I just made this decision recently and went with the Creative Zen Vision: M. It was $170 after rebate which was way less than either the iPod or the Zune. It isn't as burdened with proprietary shit like the other two. Creative knows they aren't going to corner the market so they don't build...

Honestly, all I do is skip right to the "Conclusions" page of most articles. I'm of the opinion that multi-page reviews were created simply to show me more banner ads - not add to my experience. It's not as if a web page is limited in the vertical length. I'm also not overly concerned by the...

I haven't been able to find any of my preferred retailers selling the newer model (read: NewEgg). I have to wonder about the clown approved the original G5 sans a mouse button. I use the "forward" button constantly. That's why I haven't bothered upgrading from my MX510. Also, I was fed up...

I never checked out the Consumer section because it didn't interest me. The Console section was never updated with up to date reviews so I didn't both going back more than a few times. I think HardOCP could be around for a long time provided they stick with what they do best.

I've switched between consoles and PC since I had a 2600 and 8088. Previously, I might have considered myself a "PC gamer". This was back when there were lots of flight simulators, good Lucasarts/Sierra adventure games, and stuff like that. I played a lot of SNES when it came out. That...

I'd go with F.E.A.R. Quake 4 is a run-of-the-mill "circle strafing shoot enemies a bunch of times until they die" game. It uses the same id tricks such enemies which run much faster than you backtrack which require almost two clips full of ammo to kill. I felt like I was playing an old FPS...

The multiplayer looks like the same old "run around at 90 MPH shooting rockets at the floor" gameplay that's been seen far too many times IMO. The single player videos I've seen use the "enemy sees you then runs straight at you faster than you can backtrack" technique which is also tired. I'm...

I guess you don't use a pop-up blocker, eh?

The fixed width wastes my screen real estate. Also, there appears to be a lot of stuff I'll need to scroll past to get to what I come to read, the articles/links. The only other issue I have are the dark colors. Switching between HardOCP and almost every other website (which has a light...
