    Upgrading CPU - Confirming: Do I need to reformat?

    No need to reformat. You only need to reformat if you install a new motherboard chipset.

    GeForce 8800GTS v ATI Radeon HD 4850

    I highly suggest you wait until the end of the year. AMD and Nvidia are rumoured to be rolling out a refresh of their latest cards. http://www.techpowerup.com/75685/AMD_to_Give_RV770_a_Refresh_G200b_Counterattack_Planned.htm I currently have an 8800GT 512 and at my resolution (1280x1024), I...

    G.Skill ram, are there any opinions??

    I've been using G.Skill in all my builds for quite some time. I have had no issues with it. I also know quite a few people who have G.Skill and have had no issues. Generally if price is a factor, G.Skill wins.

    Gears of War 2 Designer: Savvy Gamers Know How to Pirate

    GOW sold like crap on the PC because you had to pay for the multiplayer component only to be able to play against like 4 other people. Why bother when games like UT 2k4 and C)D4 with free multiplayer exist with up to 50 players total? Not to mention that GOW was not optimized for PC. I bought...

    WarGames: 25 Years Later

    My God, how dumb are people? Al Gore did not invent the internet!!! He did jump start companies investing in infrastructure and technologies of the internet as Vice President. That is a far cry from "inventing" it. The net has no single author per se, rather several highly intelligent...

    HD5850??

    It's not entirely BS. Everyone knows AMD is working on the next series (58xx). While the photo is BS, the info isn't

    Which game?

    Yea, Hence why I don't play online. You get a 30 day free Gold live subscription when you buy the game. The stuttering did not occur in multiplayer (though I didn't really play it since so few people played). I have a free silver account but I can't play online with it.

    Which game?

    I checked the epic forums and many other users were having these stuttering problems. They all had different card though most were nvidia cards. At the same time, there were people who had no problems. My FPS is fine in GoW, I get close to 45-50 but it stutters randomly. Even at all stock clocks...

    Which game?

    GoW Optimized? Thats crap. The game stutters like mad on my computer. The latest patch is applied as well. It is not optimized, if it was I would not have the stuttering on the lowest settings at 1280x1024. No matter what settings I chose I have stuttering. Oblivion plays fine, so does crysis...

    Rockstar; why no GTA 4 for PC?

    I'm not saying there was no TV, but that most likely there was no widescreen LCD or Plasma TV. A lot of people in the US right now stlll do not have a widescreen plasma, they still have the old 4:3 aspect TV. Whether they are projection or CRT does not matter. In order to play a console game...
