    Ah, so its only Pay To Play type thing? That looks simple as I requested. I thought I had to do some networking and could do it free, or as is. $60 it is! Off to EB. -=M=-

    How To: How Do I Stream Steam to TV?

    I am looking for a (very) layman How To on how to stream my Steam library to our t.v. We have a Samsung HDTV, I have Steam, and I have a 770, and wifi/cable network. I am assuming I can either use a wifi dongle from the t.v. to the network or cat5 it. Hoping those things are addressed in...

    EVGA RMA: 560ti SC > 560 Reg > 650ti 2 GB ?

    That sounds legit! I paid the $30 bux extra for 2 year in-store warranty. Hopefully Memory Express AND Asus are not in cahoots together... Dun duun duuuuun!

    EVGA RMA: 560ti SC > 560 Reg > 650ti 2 GB ?

    I called again... just to see... I explained what card I had, and what I was sent two diff times. The CSR laughed, and said that was odd, that was a downgrade. He went and checked on it and came back with a diff tone. All "Pro 650", telling me how much better it is. I said never mind, I'm...

    EVGA RMA: 560ti SC > 560 Reg > 650ti 2 GB ?

    On the original 560Ti SC, one of the fans started making a noise, and physically you could feel it was binding. I kept an eye on temps knowing this for a good month, but one day it obviously failed while I was gaming. I got a game freeze, shut down but before it shut down I was able to see...

    EVGA RMA: 560ti SC > 560 Reg > 650ti 2 GB ?

    I had a 1Gb 560Ti SC (Two Fans). After a year+ one fan died and it went up in smoke. RMAed it with no prob. I received a 2gb 560 Reg in the mail (single fan) for the RMA. It is so loud and because of the speed diff (I realize I can OC it, but two fan to one fan does make a difference) I...

    I really do appreciate your work going into this. Thanks folks. What type/brand of ram would you recommend with your B choice? Since I dont really bother with OC'ing anymore, I have found good ol'Kingston cheap to work. I am overwhelmed by my local shops amount of choices of memory...

    I'm Stuck On Stupid: Q9550 or Upgrade to AMD

    All good input - appreciate all your responses. I suspect my cpu is "fine" for the most part. Where does cost/performance intersect? Should I wait until August (end of oil season = bonus) and just spend @$500 on a psu/gpu upgrade, maybe get 2x 2gb (for 8gb total) ddr2? Wait one more round...

    Intel Retail Deal; 3.0c Intel 865 Mobo WinXP Pro $200 December 2003. Couldnt beat the price and was a great upgrade from my Tbred 1700 Epox 8k7a set-up. -=M=-

    Jerkey! Bawls!

    I actually just follow the instructions that came with my dehydrator. It has a couple different recipes - cubed, stripped, thin, thick and a lot of different tastes. I use London Broil from advice from a friend - its great. I also use a lot of worshestershire sauce and liquid smoke...

    Know any older games that everyone talked about but really sucked?

    I had bought my very first computer at the time Unreal came out - to me it was ground breaking because before that I had only played Doom, Quake, and Rise of Triad in short bursts at friends and family. The first Unreal blew mah drawers off. And that was the feeling I went into...

    Know any older games that everyone talked about but really sucked?

    The cut-scenes were pretty funny - but yea, the mechanic were wonky and the one time I did find someone playing online {yes, it was multiplayer too!} it sucked arse - we both were Kabutos . . . The best thing about G:CK was the "Nakid" code for the female water race, and even that was pretty...

    Know any older games that everyone talked about but really sucked?

    Unreal2. What a pile of 2 hour slop. Not even groundbreaking for a game that maybe I hyped myself up for way too much. I am OCD when it comes to games and my library looks like it has never been used - but Unreal2 was one of the few that I turned around and sold a few days after beating...

    Your Thoughts on 3DMark threats to HardOCP.

    That supposed to mean something? I have 77 games in my drawer beside me - can I not be interested in a [H] benchmark utility that I had thought I heard existed? Fraps? Got it right here. Props to Boogerbomb for answering my post - yes that was what I was thinking of - the [H] Unreal BM...

    Your Thoughts on 3DMark threats to HardOCP.

    I can hardly keep up with this thing - can someone PM me the link to [H] Benchmark tool? Or did I misread something? I thought I have heard of a proggy to BM GPUs from [H]ere. -=M=-

    Your Thoughts on 3DMark threats to HardOCP.

    Has anyone been able to confirm or dispute that FutureMark is actually hitting up all the websites that make up their demographic? Would be interesting if this brainiac was attacking all sites that are critical of their product. The FutureMark label has a major chink in its armor now IMO -...

    What Voodoo Cards did you own?!?!

    I cant remember the brand - but my cousin and I both bought our Voodoo II's at the same time - when he burned up a mobo his card came to my computer and we mated them - 24Mb of pwn in Tribes and Diablo . . . . -=M=-
