    youtube/mp4's all of a sudden very pixelated in IE10/WMP

    So weird thing occurred in the last 48 hours, and I honestly don't think I changed any settings or installed/uninstalled anything on my PC to drive this, but all of a sudden, all youtube videos while using IE10 are extremely pixelated, to the point of being unwatchable. Coupled with that, all...

    Question on cancellation fees

    I'm trying to see where my logic is flawed here, and thought perhaps I misunderstood AT&T's policy. Would appreciate if anyone knowledgeable can either tell me if I'm wrong or not and what I'm overlooking if anything. I have been with AT&T for years, overall satisfied with their coverage in...

    Best gaming card NOT Creative

    Well after years of using Creative solutions I've given up, their drivers are just horrid and the last "auto update" was the last straw. While i appreciate good sound quality, I'm hardly an audiophile, and when I'm gaming I'm using my Razer Carcharias headset. I'm especially looking for...

    Plans for AMD boards with PCIE 3.0?

    Am I alone in finding it a little strange, that it appears the AMD 7XXX video card series is scheduled to launch in Q4 (reported to be PCIE 3.0), and AMD's new breakthru CPU is launching any week/month, and not a single motherboard offered right now is PCIE 3.0 compatible? My google skills...

    I have both these drives, and in reality I only need one. They're both for sale, but whichever one goes first, I'm keeping the 2nd, as I don't think I could ever go back to a mechanical drive. I just need the cash, and I can survive with just one as my boot drive. Intel G2 160GB (oem) =...

    Bizarre networking issue with PS3

    A P/S issue??

    This is a brand new build (sig below), and I figured the PS I chose would be more than powerful enough and a quality selection for the components I have. However, I've run into issues where occasionally running Vantage or 3dmark06 my computer just shuts down, which to me reeks of a P/S issue...

    Now that it is out...

    I think we can go back to all those questions/claims/debates from a few months ago and I think HL2 has lived up to and exceeded all expectations. This game is probably the best single player game I ever played bar none. I'm very happy with the finished product. Doom3 was good, HL2 is great.
