The registy is in a nutshell a file the computer uses to keep track of everything and how it uses that stuff together, seriously ... what could go wrong with editing it right? So... for starters there are several simple programs that can clean up loose ends in the registry without usually...

From personal exp... since I screwed the pooch badly on this...go for best Refresh you can my enthusiast level video card makes my Dell surplus monitor to hot and shut down all the time until I placed a fan o it... so sad about us :( Edited for spelling ....>_<

Agreed, I'm not sure if your putting this together on one site or not but some sellers have the ability to caculate your PS demand now, just be sure you have room to grow on this one PS is annoying to have to change later I think.

Price is always an issue, if it isn't your in denial or headed for divorce my friend :lol: Besides if you can run a Q6600 you can usually upgrade later to a Q9650 which easily competes with the mid upper i7's ^^, just add graphic card!

1)Amnesia 2)Civ 5 (gets boring for me though since I always play conquer the world, wife likes it when she plays to goals) 3)Angry Birds! fun for the whole freaking family!! 4)X3 or even Free Lancer (a little old and simple but you can finish the game and sand box for ever) Older series such as...

Used to own a shop here in town. Most of the builds I did where AMD, and that was a pricing vs performace issue, most all my builds went to college students as we were a block from the Uni here. My own builds since I had the shop have almost all been Intel's, I prefer the reliability of thier...

CPU: Since you have a G33/35 compliant board you should be able to go all the way up to the top of the Quad cores's. The Q6600 (a 2.4 ghz) is as cheap as $120.00 and up to about $150.00 on the top end. Alternatively the Q9650 (I just installed one two days ago on a similar board) runs about $350...

No love huh? Kinda figured that might end up being the case with this....to bad I did enjoy this once in a while and it does look like EA has no interest in porting this to the PC.... Cest La Vie

Ditto on the save. I've played this game considerably, and experienced a nearly identical issue to what you described. Hexit's advice is very solid in this though I always caution individuals without registry experience (not the wedding kind of course), perhaps a friendly restore point before...

Valid complaint, but as with everything market demand will change that my friend!

Oh and the case shouldn't matter as long as it's not proprietary (dude your getting a dell, ..or some such), that is if all your considering changing is your main and cpu. The power supply of course is another issue. Most sites you can order from usually have tools now days to help you figure...

Re-playability, I despise paying an hours salary for something I don't finish let alone don't play again. NWN with it's online was amongst the best for me ever by that standard though the total war games are close in to it by that standard amongst titles in the last 10 - 15 years. Further back...

PC gaming since somewhere around Ultima (probable it's even earlier then that, I'm an apple (2) user originally). I personally think the more you can bring writers and artist on board to tell a story the better the product, after all computers are merely tools and pretty crappy ones at times...
