PC Format: No way to discover my Graphics Card.

When I was using the default driver even slight scrolling through a web page was extremely laggy. It was definitely slide show status. I don't think it would even let me use 32-bit color. Maybe he's having the same issues. The only thing I can even recommend is $20 on a different video card, or...

PC Format: No way to discover my Graphics Card.

For what it's worth, about a month ago I tried using a PCI TNT2 M64 recently for a temporary replacement in a windows XP machine (the PCI-E video card died) and I had the same exact issue of "This software is not for use on your system/cannot find the correct hardware" I searched the...

512 MB MP3 player $4.99 shipped w/google checkout

I purchased one of these for $4.99 about two weeks ago. Buy.com claims it shipped via FedEx, but the tracking number supplied hasn't worked since I received the email a few days after purchase. I probably was jacked for $4.99, but whatever, just a heads up to anyone considering this. EDIT...

Bioshock PC $44.99 shipped free.

I did purchase Bioshock through Steam. I checked with all those "unofficial" steps above and see no sign of SecuROM on my system. Is there any other ways to know for sure? I had no idea about this crap either. EDIT: Nevermind, just found CURRENT_USER\Software\SecuROM... GG.
