    New ubuntu build -

    I'm putting together a new desktop system and I'm going to try to make the switch to linux for my day to day machine. I'll start with ubuntu as it would appear to the the most 'stupid user' ready. I'm wondering if there would be any real linux reason to go with a certain kind of hardware...

    I picked up dead space on steam for $15 this weekend. A waste of money. I turned off the v synch and played with the mouse settings - game was playable, but painful. Some people have said you need to play the game with a game pad. The game felt like I was playing via console. Slow with...

    Yet another Vsta question - this time about upgrade

    i want to get my hands on a copy of Vista Ultimate - Retail, but I'm not so sure I want to drop $399 on it. (or $379 from amazon). I know the upgrade version of ultimate would be $249 (amazon), but does that give me the retail license I want. With all the talk about oem vs retail I think...

    Monarch OEM - anyone have experience?

    I need a new system but I was dreading putting together my own. Some builds can be quick and painless, but a bad component can quickly turn it into a nightmare. I checked out a number of OEMs and it looks like Monarch can give me exactly what I want. A preassembled machine that had undergone...
