I will not buy this game. No dedicated servers or mods = no purchase.

Thank you for making this a front page story. The news really needs to get out about this huge mistake. No dedicated servers, what the heck.

Just because you have a 750-1000 watt power supply does not mean that your PC is using a lot of energy. 99% of all computers out there would do just fine on a 400watt quality power supply. A high wattage power supply is way overated. Anyhow, yes I shut the computer down every night. I do not...

Not yet, I have pushed my E5200 to 4Ghz so far on air. I will try and fry it when I am ready to get a new one. I have an old X23800 I might want to try and fry also.

My blood pressure began to rise. You had me going for a second there. Good one :)

Did you plug it back in?

I would say it depends on what you do with your computer, whether or not it need an upgrade. If you just play games COD4, UT3..etc.. a nice new 8800GT will do wonders for you. Upgrading to an Opteron 180 or 185 will also give you some improvements. As long as you are running your video games at...

I am aware of the video card req. for CAD. I can go with either a Geforce card or an Quadro openGL card with the new AutoCAD 2008 since you can choose to run it in openGL or DirectX. The video card is the easy part, but there are so many workstation motherboards out there I am not sure which...

Hello and thank you for you time. I am in the market for a Workstation class motherboard, or at least I think I am. I am currently trying to build a workstation computer for my wife who will be doing a lot of CAD work. I know a bunch about the 'consumer level' motherboards and components but not...

Well by the title of the post and the way you write, my guess is you are about 13-15 years old. I have your solution....Ask your parents to buy you another new computer and send me the one you have :bounce:

Could you post the model# that your HP is? It would give us some more info on what kind of power supply is in there right now.

Howdy, below is a link to some power supplies. You will want to pick one from the Tier T and above category. Buying a good power supply the first time around can save you some headaches later. Better to buy a good one now that will last you 5 years, than to buy a cheap one now and have to...

Looks good, but get the 64bit version of Vista. That way it will use all of the 4GB of RAM you are purchasing.
