I just recently installed an X2 4400+ processor in my system but it is not being recognized as a dual-core. Task manager only shows one process graph and the system manager lists the CPU as "Unknown AMD processor." Was there a driver I forgot to install or a bios setting that needs to be...

Yes, someone is actually making a Dragonball MMORPG. Original Japanese story here. I guess the property still has a large enough fan base so this isn't totally surprising. Who knows, it may actually turn out to be somewhat entertaining. It will also be interesting to see how the handle...

I just bought Titan Quest and Immortal Throne but can only play for about five minutes before the games quits to the desktop or reboots my computer. Even watching the credits will cause the game to crash. Has anyone ever heard of any issues like this? I have been noticing simular issues with...

No joke, STALKER has gone gold. Wow, we will be playing STALKER in a couple weeks. Time to see if it lives up to the hype...

I am looking to upgrade to a cheap dual core but it looks like all that is left are Denmark Opterons. This 175 looks good but I am wondering about the 1000MHz HT vs. an X2s 2000MHz. Is there a noticable performance drop form having the HT halved? Are the Denmarks good OC'ers? I want to get...

You are the President of the great United States of America. Your Vice President stages a military coup. You do what any sane President would do: Don your custom built and heavily armed powersuit and take back America! It is such a shame this never made it out of Japan. It sounds like it...

I am very tempted to buy an 8800GTS but am worried that prices may drop in the next couple weeks when ATi launches their R600 line. The GTS beats the snot out of an X1950XTX but I am curious as to what the "2800XT" will do. Note that this video card upgrade fever is being fueled by me...

I have an X1950XTX but for some reason it will not go into 3D mode (3D = 650/2000, 2D = 505/1200) for one of my games (LotRO). Is there some trick I can do to force the card into 3D mode? The help forum for this game has not helped ("Buy a GTS" was the most useful answer I got...). All of my...

I just bought a 700W Thermaltake Toughpower PSU and am liking it so far. However it looks like ATi and nVidia are moving to 8 pin power connectors for their new cards and my Toughpower only has two six pin connectors. Is it possible for Thermaltake to release new cables that I could plug in to...

Christophe Gans has commented that he will begin working on the second Silent Hill movie after he is done with the Onimusha movie. (original French article here) Also confirmed is a directors cut of the first movie. Silent Hill is one of the best game to film adaptations (granted, that is...

I just recently put a VF900 on my X1950XTX (because I couldn't stand the standard HSF) but am having issues with the GPU temperature. I will be playing a game, my computer will start beeping, and the screen will flash. I check ATi Tools and the monitoring graph shows my GPU temp at 110C...

So I bought a X1950XTX but the constant up and down fan speed is driving me nuts. I have a Zalman VF900 but want to use some copper heatsinks (the VF900 came with aluminum ones, and I don't feel like prying them off the old card). What are my options? I see Newegg has these Thermaltakes but...

Will a 480W (Antec NeoPower) power supply be enough for a X1950XTX? See sig for the rest of my set up.

I saw this video and got a real kick out of it. http://www.cs.northwestern.edu/~ndn651/NewsAtSeven.wmv Here is the info about the technology. http://infolab.northwestern.edu/project.asp?id=40 In the ABC video segment you can see that there are options allowing you to choose who reads the...

I am looking to replace the loud HSF on my motherboard and was woundering if there were any suggestions. I want a fanless solution to keep noise down and I realise this will mean a large heatsink. The heatsink I am looking at is this Zalman. For some reason Zalman doesn't have a compatability...

On the official web site it says that current subscribers should get a free character slot for the duration of the event. I downloaded all of the updates but I do not see the extra slot. Did they decide not to have the free character slot? This sucks becuase all my character slots are used up :(

Is the only difference between the XT and XTX (I am looking at the 512MB version of both) the core and memory speeds? Or is there another difference? It seems tempting to get an XT and just OC it by 25/100 and save a few dollars. Would that even be possible?

I just started an Assasin chracter but have no idea what subjob to take. My two main attributes will be Daggers and Critical Hits as I will be going for damage. Most builds I have seen use Necro for its Hex spells and Curses attribute. Anyone have any suggestions?

I saw this link on the front page and was wondering when we will see this being used on cards. Will the first DX10 cards have it? Also, think GDDR4 cards will finally hit 1GB?

Oblivion has gotten stale and tiresome so I decided to have some good old fashioned RPG fun. However I can't really decide which one to play. Does it matter if I play Fallout 2 before 1?

I went to go pre-order Factions but nobody seems to have the CE available. Amazon has a listing for it but you can not oder it. I called my local EB Games and they said it was cancelled. I have gotten conflicting stories from the GW message boards but some say it has been delayed until next...

This article here at Joystiq says many smaller stores are just going to eBay and PS3 systems they get because it is the only way they will make money off of them. I can say from personal experience that the smaller locally stores in my area had no 360s at launch but one did admit that if he did...

I want to buy a house in Skingrad but it seems the NPC I need to talk to is MIA. The NPC is an Orc named Shum Gro Yarug but I think he may be dead as he is only level 4 and I have found his corpse (I used the "resurrect" command to get him working again) a couple times. There is a bandit that...

Has anyone started to tweak the .ini file for Oblivion yet? I took a quick look through it but have some questions as to what does what. Specifically I am look for the following tweaks: - Screenshot enabling - FPS counter - various LOD distance tweaks so I don't have to watch the...

The Office Depot near me is having a sale ($350 off ) on this Compaq Presario V2000 but I am confused as to what type of RAM it uses. The spec sheet on the Compaq site says DDR SDRAM but the Corsair Memory finder (Laptop > Compaq > V2000) says it uses SODIMMS. I will try and get the store...

Hey boys and girls, time for your weekly PS3 rumor! I was reading this story about the recent FFXI fan festival when I saw this tidbet: Now it looks like the translation is very rough but this statement seems a little odd. Seeing as how Squeenix is Sony's bitch you would think they would...

I just started the 14 day trial and was just wondering if anyone could give any pointers or in game help? (Note that I play for Albion) My main questions are: Any UI mods out there that make the UI a little more friendly? Are Scouts a valued class or should all rogues become Infiltrators...

I heard about this new game called Dungeon Runners here, checked out the screen shots, and then could hear Blizzard's lawyers salivating. Looks like all those Blizzard employees NCSoft snagged took their work with them... Seriously, I know this game is still very early but those screens look...

Over at the Shack there is an article talking about how S.T.A.L.K.E.R. may be some sort of DNF like vaporware. There is an article here that says S.T.A.L.K.E.R. was mostly just a bunch of good ideas and intentions but not much of a game. It also has a couple of other points: - THQ (the...

I just bought the DVD version of Quake 4 but it will not run. When I click on the shortcut the screen goes gray for a couple seconds and then dumps me onto the desktop (when it is changing resolutions). There are no error messages or anything say why it is doing this. I have checked a couple...

Here is something that should of been done years ago. I have to agree that if the videogame industry wants to be taken seriously they need to rid E3 of all the barely dressed street walkers that companies try and pass as "booth babes." Personally I am weary of game or company when they try and...

I want to do the "good" quest but I haven't been to D. Forge yet. Though it is nice to see the the "evil" quests take you to zones that nobody ever goes to (because there was never a reason too...) What does everyone think of the Snowball fight game? I hope they keep it, but remove the Xmas...

Saw this over at the Shack. It gets points for having AC/DC music (my DOA: XBV music list is about half AC/DC) but you know this isn't going to be anything else other than brainless chop socky. Positives: + The aforementioned AC/DC music + It has volleyball + Corey Yuen is doing the...

I have been having issues installing games lately so I thought it may be my DVD drive, a Plextor PX-712SA. I noticed that my firmware version was 1.04 and the current version was 1.07. I follwed their instructions for installing the new firmware (it was just downloading an .exe and running...

I was at Best Buy yesterday browsing the PC games section when I spotted this CD case with a giant orange sticker that said "Free" on it. Upon further examination it was something called City of Heroes: Bootleg Edition. Opening it up at home I see there are two disks but no other explanation...

I so wanted to play this game sometime soon, but according to THQ's latest quarterly earnings report S.T.A.L.K.E.R. has been delayed to Oct '06 at the earliest. Man when was this game first annouced? 2002? And what is even worse is that the game keeps getting uglier as time goes on. Try and...

I want to upgrade this WinBook XL2 notebook I have but it requires an UltraDMA HDD. According to this (chart near the bottom) UltraDMA is also known as ATA-4. Is there any easy way to identify the type of HDD I need, like maybe the number of pins?

I am looking to buy two sticks of 128MB PC100 144-pin SODIMM notebook memory, and an UltraDMA notebook HDD with a capacity greater than 6GB. I am beefing up a Winbook XL2 notebook I bought at a company auction. Please PM me offers.

I am looking at some eVGA cards at Newegg but noticed that the three cheeper 7800GTX models (here, here, and here) are all listed as 450MHz/1200MHz. I know the $499 dollar one comes with BF2 but is there any other difference between the cards? And which one of those would be the best deal?

What would be a better CPU: This San Diego or this Venice ? Is the only different between the San Diego and Venice cores the extra L2 cache? I also take it both are good OC'ers? p.s. My current CPU is a first gen 3500+, whatever core that was...
