Thx. I saw that and was going to jump on it but I really want to leave it at the $399 price point because the unit will be used out in bad waether conditions for photo work. That is a great deal though!

My goals for use are very simple: 1. MS Word 2. browsing, email 3, Dreamweaver 4. Playing back 720p video or standard video on external TV via HDMI 5. Photo storage device in the field These are all that I require of the unit. So far I have lined up the Acer AS1410 with ULV su3500...

King's Quest

I reduced my page file to half of my ram, works great. I also did some other tweaks which moved the isntall size from 12gb to like 8. I'm a power user who uses my comp mostly for business(Excel , Word, Lightroom, Dreamweaver, Premiere) and I have 20.3 gigs free after installing a ton of my...

That's what I did. BTW, the drive absolutely flies. Great bang for the buck.

7.4 disk score in Win 7. :)

I have a Q9400 with a 9800 GT 1gb and the game runs fine. I keep it at 1280x800 though for the smoothest play online. Seems the online FPS takes some hits. I use 1920x1200(or whatever it is) in single player mode. In the benchmarks I get 33 FPs average with at 1900x1200 and like 58 FPS...

Good point. Getting to the GTA IV multiplayer is a PITA.

I can't beleive how good GTA IV multi is. It's bringing back the sense of excitement and adventure that I got with TFC, and then BF 1942. In those games, you felt like you could do anything. GTA IV is not always non-stop action, but when things happen, they can be incredibly epic. That combined...

I'm at the same point. The EP's really lost me, and so did Valve's inability to evolve their online multiplayer stuff beyond the claustrophobic maps of the late 90's early 2k's style of play. I'm much more interested in the freedom type of gameplay like FC2, GTA IV and WOW. TF2 was where...

It just looks old.

I'm really digging bioshock but it's not playing nice with the latest Nvidia drivers and my new 9800 GT at any resolution. The ambiance of Bioshock is insane.

I don't have much time for games any more but I am finding these to be pretty good. The thing I am most blown away with is the fact that I have such a great degree of freedom. I am finding the GTA IV multiplayer to be a huge breath of fresh air compared to the restrictive, tiny map based games...

Is this online?

Agreed. The speed difference is shocking.
