[Retired] The LCD Thread

Ooooh, The Acer one does look nice. Guess I'm jumping on that one. Thanks a lot! :thumbsup: EDIT: Just a quicky Question. How's the AL2223WD compared to the AL2051W? It's 22" and still under my $250 range. Just wondering if it's worth it considering newegg's specs also list it has less...

[Retired] The LCD Thread

Hi: Just want some advice on what to buy. I have around $250 to spend (could be a bit more if it is worth it) and am looking for recommendations. I mainly game on my machine. I also watch some occasional movies on it (not that common, but it does happen). I currently have a CRT and really want...

Some free stuff for you ATI guys

Well, for me it appeared after clicking the button in the offer page. It just started steam, updated some stuff and then just told me it would add them to my account (this was after installing Steam on my brother's machine and logging onto my account). Then I just came back to my PC and there...

Right now downloading HL2: DM on my main PC. Instead of quickly swapping my nVidia card for my old ATi one I just burrowed my brother's Macbook and got the games through it. Weeeee free gaming!

Can anyone confirm if all you have to do is get it validated once and then you get them forever? I recently got a 6600GT OC to replace a 9250. If all I have to do is put it back for just a bit while it says it's ok then I might bother doing it.

Dead video card

I second the recommendation. I went from a 9700 PRO, then a 9250 256MB (which held me for a little while) and then got recently a BFG 6600GT OC. It was basically a nice patch/slight boost to a system I'm looking to hold out for a bit longer while I get enough to build another. I got a slight...

will company of heroes work on intel gma950?

I beg to differ. It actually works on the bare minimum. I tried it just for fun to see if it could run on my laptop (Yonah 1.6Ghz, 1GB Ram, GMA950) and it did... well, more like walk. With everything on low it got hella choppy on heavy stuff and barely playable once stuff started to hit the...

Building First Computer

@bamacre: Thanks for the suggestions. Seems great overall. Basically wanting to be on the safe side once our little DX10 friends become more common, because they seem to like power. Overkill? Maybe just a bit, but it's mostly attempting to be on the safe side. If it's excessive, well, that's...

Building First Computer

Well, by summer I mean basically around early/mid May, which is basically 3 months down the road but other than some prices going slightly down I don't really expect any major changes (Unless there's a major realease comming I'm completely ignoring, but anyways). As to why I was down AMD path...

Building First Computer

Thanks for the suggestion. Any sort of example as to what kind of Motherboard? That's most of my problem, I really have no experience with those things. Remember, just something that can let me OC later (again, not going to extremes here). As for the card, I guess I could manage something...

Building First Computer

Hello all. First time here (So I hope I'm doing this right). Basically I want to build a computer around summer time. But if prices and parts vary so wildly, why am I doing this from now? Well, basically I want to get an estimate budget of how much it's gonna cost me to get a PC that can run...
