Just curious: Do people still play CQ and AK, or are they pretty much dead?
I usually just stick to one multiplayer game and one single-player game. Occasionally, I'll play two single-player games at a time if I'm working on a big strategy game or RPG.
I'm beginning to think I should start playing more games at once. Whenever I approach the end of a single-player...
I've heard that Amazon will permanently ban an account if it receives too many returns. Has anyone experienced this or know how many items (or what % of purchases) you need to return in order to be banned?
I don't really have a preference between stealth, combat, or magic. However, I do know that in previous Bethesda games, some playing styles were simply more fun than others. For instance, in Oblivion, the ranged and magic combat systems seemed relatively poor compared to the melee combat...
I used the HARX700 headphones for two years and was pretty impressed with them. My only real complaints were that they were a bit too tight and a bit too hot. My budget is around $50, so I'm considering the HARX700s again. I'm also looking at the Audio-Technica ATH-M30. Does anyone have any...
I'm really loving this game, but the flight controls are driving my insane. I really want to be able to use my mouse to control my movement, similar to BF3.
Does anyone know if there are any mods that address this issue? If not, are there any programs that allow you to bind keys to mouse...
I'm in the market for a new mousepad as my current one is getting old.
Right now I'm looking at the Qck and Qck+ as my two top choices. Do any of you guys use these? I'm worried that the Qck+ is a bit too big, but I do have the desk space for it. Are there any other good budget mousepads that...
I looked at the Steam game stats and noticed that about as many people are playing Counter Strike 1.6 as are playing Source and Global Offensive combined! I was disappointed with the lack of server options in GO, and I think this is a large part of the problem. Anyone know why 1.6 is still by...

Nice price for a large, glossy monitor from a reputable manufacturer.
My Planar PX2710MW just arrived today. It's huge and beautiful with no dead pixels, but it has horrific ghosting. When I simply drag my mouse around the screen, I see a huge trail of white following the cursor, no matter how slowly I move it. This is especially alarming given the advertised 2ms...
I'm looking for a 24'' inch (or bigger) monitor to replace my 19'' Samsung. Ideally, I'd like to spend less than $200, but I'm willing to go a little over that range if I can get a much better monitor. Do you guys have any recommendations?
Also, what do you guys think of this 27'' Planar for...

I'm looking at these two Gigabyte motherboards for my next build. Both seem to have incredible features for their prices, but I'm not...
I'm in the market for a cheap (<$200) 23''+ monitor to replace my 19''. I found two on Newegg, but I know next to nothing about monitors and was wondering if you guys think they are any good. Also, if you guys have any recommendations for budget 23''-24'' monitors, please let me know. (I'm not...
At least according to this article: http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/cpu/display/20110114134306_AMD_s_Bulldozer_Microprocessors_Expected_to_Offer_50_Higher_Performance_than_Core_i7_Phenom_II_Chips.html
I really hope this is true. Nothing would please me more than to see Intel lose its control...
Do these drives exist?
I currently use an IDE DVD drive but need to switch to SATA to use one of the new motherboards. However, having to use SATA power connector for my DVD drive would completely ruin my cable wiring. (I know that molex to SATA adapters exist, but I'd rather not use one.)

Only $10 more than the XFX 5850 -- which is now OOS -- and it comes with a very nice aftermarket cooler.
I'm thinking of buying a 5850 but am worried that it may be bottlenecked by my processor, an [email protected].
Do you guys think it's a bad idea to buy such a fast video card when I have a relatively poor processor? Does anyone here use a 5850 or similar card with a Core 2 duo? If so, please...
Hi everyone,
I have Windows 7 installed in one hard drive, and Windows XP installed in another. I'm looking for a way to switch between these operating systems without having to go to the bios and change the hard drive boot priority. Instead, I'd like to be presented with an operating system...
I've seem to run into a wall with my E7200. Going to 3.6ghz was easy -- all I had to do was increase the frequency and the CPU voltage. Going past 3.6 has proven difficult. So far, I've underclocked my RAM and increased my FSB and CPU voltage, but I still fail Intel Burn Test very quickly.
My...
Hi everyone,
I'm not sure if this is the right place for my post, but I want to transfer songs from my iphone to my new computer. Does anyone know a free and fast way of doing this? I had to reformat the hard drive that contained all of my music, so I can't transfer the songs via USB or an...
Hi everyone,
I received a GTX 460 1 GB today and played some BFBC2, eager to see a large improvement in my frame rates. But that didn't happen.
With my 4850, I averaged about 40-50 fps at 1440x900 on high. With my GTX 460, my frame rates rarely went above 40. Oddly, my frame rates don't seem...
I'm thinking of buying this card: http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0341977
It's a Palit GTX 460 1GB Sonic for $129.99 after MIR.
I just have a few questions:
1. Is Palit considered a reliable brand? I don't really much about it.
2. Should this card be able...
Hi guys. I'm looking for a large hard drive and happened upon this drive at Newegg, where it is on sale.
I'm not an expert on hard drives, so I would appreciate some input from you guys. Is this a good hard drive? Are there better ones for its price? I plan to install Windows 7 on this hard...
My computer keeps losing track of time, and I've heard that this is a symptom of a dying CMOS battery. However, I don't want to bother with replacing my CMOS battery just to correct my computer's clock.
Is there anything important that the CMOS does besides powering the computer's clock?
My mic broke today, and I'm searching for a new one, preferably one of equal of greater quality. Any suggestions?
The one that just broke is http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826265064&cm_re=gamecomm-_-26-265-064-_-Product , and I'm naturally wary of buying it again...
During cutscenes in the Witcher, all of the characters' faces have these really annoying horizontal bars across them. Does anyone know how to fix this?
My PC components are:
ATI 4850 (Catalyst 8.12)
Intell E7200 @ 3.5ghz
4 GB of ram
I'm running at 1440x900 with everything maxed, and my frame...
Dead Space and The Witcher are both on Steam for very low prices -- $10 and $13, respectively.
I love both shooters and RPG's, and I'm torn between these two games.
Could anyone offer a recommendation?
Thanks.
CCC worked fine when I had the the 9.6 drivers, but when I tried to uninstall 9.6 in preparation for the 9.7 upgrade, I received an error message which said "error initializing." However, the uninstaller seemed to work, and I was able to remove the old driver and install the new one.
But...
Since people were wondering about the performance impact of Catalyst AI, I decided to do some Crysis benchmarks. (I'm using the XP very high tweak, so the game is on very high settings even though it says high.)

Whenever I play Stalker, I get these really annoying shadows at the edge of my screen (as seen on the bottom right corner in my screenshots). I have absolutely no idea what causes this, and they go away as soon as I rotate my mouse.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem? I have an ATI 4850...
I downloaded the NeoToyko mod and installed it to my "Steammods" folder.
However, the game does not appear on my steam games list, and I couldn't find the .exe file by browsing for it.
Does anyone know what I should do?
I had to reformat my hard drive and lost all of my data, including my Fallout 3 saves. Unfortunately, I was nearly done with the game and had invested about 60 hours into my character. I really do not want to start a new game.
Does anyone know if it's possible to create a high level character...
