Looking to build a midrange gaming computer for my friend. He's looking to game and plans to play a little WoW, and Diablo 3 and Starcraft II when they come out. He will be playing at 1650 x 1080 and likes eyecandy. He doesn't really plan on doing anything more intense than gaming. 1) What...

This isn't a thread to bitch about the shortcomings of Windows 7. I've been using it since build 7000 came out and it's by far my favorite version of Windows. I believe it's covered a long distance on the road to the perfect home OS. There are a couple of things that I wish they would have...

This wall of text is just me talking about how cool I found Macs to be after finally using one. If you're not interested don't read past this point - If you're here to flame, don't bother. If you're here to start a Mac vs. PC debate, don't bother I'm not interested and neither is anyone else on...

When I was using Firefox 3, I had an amazing addon called Image Zoom that let me resize images at the click of a button which I used to resize images to fit my browser window. However, I'm using Firefox 3.5b4 and it's not compatible and I was wondering if anyone knew of an alternative...

Just curious, why are there separate forums for AMD and Intel but no joint "CPU" forum where people can talk about CPUs in general like the Motherboard and Video Cards forums?

Not that I'm planning to, but I was wondering how much of a performance hit there would be running the Core i7 in dual-channel with two sticks of ram instead of tri-channel with three.

Just wanted to say that I love the new search. Being able find my posts in a couple clicks is so badass. I don't remember if it was this way before or not but being able to show posts and show threads from the Search at the top of the page is pretty convenient too. I haven't had a chance to...

I like to keep my games installed on a separate partition than my OS is on. If I was to install a game while running Vista and say, want to play it from my XP or 7 installation, would I be able to do that without causing any problems?

the Windows 7 beta can run on my Athlon XP 2500 @ 2GHz with 1.5GB, a Radeon 9600 XT on an 80 GB 7200 RPM HDD but Vista would be as slow as molasses?

Is there any way I can change my name?

I'm attempting to install the Windows 7 beta 7000 build but when I get to what I think is this screen my screen goes dark other than a sliver of color at the very top of the screen. I can move my mouse all the way to the top of the screen and see it but the rest is dark. If I move my mouse...

It's been a good 5 years :( Any suggestions for a new mouse? I love this one and will be extremely sad to see it go.

Network cuts in and out I'm having a problem with my network. Every few minutes or so, I lose my network connection and it goes through the whole thing it does when it connects and it comes back. I'm using wireless and my router is a Linksys WRT54GS. This started shortly...

I've had this installation of Windows XP installed since Sept. 2003 and I was wondering if I should reformat just for the hell of it? There aren't any system-breaking errors and I don't think my computer is running any slower than when I restarted it. Is it healthy to do an occasional reformat...

My grandmother's old computer using Windows XP Professional was get pretty old and she planned on buying a new one so I went into a couple of folders and used Windows XP to burn some files to CDs. The new computer she has now uses Windows Vista Home Premium and when I go to copy the files off...

So, last night I was doing ZG with a pug, and we were doing the pulls just before Hakkar. I was chaincasting a Soul Flayer and noticed that they were all critting. 5 crits in, my mouth was on the floor. On the 6th crit, I pulled aggro and ran around for a bit and died after not getting any...

My brother recently got an e260 Sansa MP3 player from a friend at school in a trade for a hat and whomever had it before didn't give him the cords to it or the software. We went to Best Buy today and picked up a power cord (which also connects it to the computer), but I think I still need Sansa...

I really want to use this font in my WoW UI, but it is in .otf format and I need for it to be in .ttf. Are there any free programs out there that will allow me to convert an OTF file to a TTF file?
