If your mic serial # is lower than 65000 then it is incompatible with anything beyond XP32. It seems to be a hardware issue, best case firmware that "could" be updated, but Blue isn't updating them any more. Evidently they were, but stopped in 2010. Some folks have had success running Win 7 in...

I agree, I have a Corsair 750w running for my stuff. I know I'm not using it at max capacity, but it runs quiet and cool and I have zero concerns. I mean, really, am I going to save $20 just so I can work my PS harder? It will allow me to upgrade to crossfire when I want too.

Bioshock is the tougher one, unless you like to mod Skyrim a lot. AMD boards and chips are cheaper than Intel ones at about the same performance level, but Intel has more absolute performance. If cost is the deciding factor then that limits you to AMD. Again, anything you get is likely to be...

That's a tough one. I would probably replace everything but the case and power supply. It's so old that almost anything you get is going to be an improvement. It's got a PCI-e (1.0) x16 graphics card slot, I don't know that I would bother trying to keep the board. If the case and power supply is...

Watch the NewEgg.com video on the basics of building your own PC. It's pretty easy nowadays. Then build this: Motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130677 AMD CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113285 RAM...

The bridge at Riverwood is a known hotspot for lag, even good cards slow down there. I dont know what it's rendering there that makes it so bad. The 660 is probably the min you can run. You might want to SLI it with a second one. Most of the multi-gpu issues on Skyrim have been worked out by...
