    Post your specs

    Acer 23" 3D LCD Core 2 Duo @ 4.5 GHz (500x9) 2 GB PC2-8500 @ 4-3-3-12 8800 GTS SLi (850/2200/1100) 600 GB Velociraptor (SATA 6 Gb/s) 2 TB Barracuda XT (SATA 6 Gb/s) Upgrading the processor soon, once I find a quad core chip that will overclock well. 3D LCDs are nice. Even without the 3D.

    New Gaming Rig

    A lot of people can't tell the difference between on-board sound and a dedicated sound card. The real question is whether or not you have a nice set of speakers to go with the card.

    What is the Best AntiVirus?

    While there isn't replacement for a vigilance and common sense, there certainly isn't a replacement for a second line of defense.

    What is the Best AntiVirus?

    My choice would have to be EAV (NOD32). I started with them when they were just 2.5. Everything you can ask for in an anti-virus; highly configurable, small footprint, low profile, non-intrusive, and effective. I gave ESS a try... ridiculous, the two programs are nothing alike.

    Which Operating System do you prefer?

    Using 7 x64, I got a free ticket to upgrade. They've been passing these out like candy a month or two prior to the OS release. It seems to be everything Vista isn't. If it came distributed with your new PC, I don't think you'll be able to feel the difference. A fresh install is required for the...

    RFID chip, is it real?

    The American government already has the technology to locate and track anyone. But currently, it's too expensive to use on normal people for no reason. But is it scary enough to know that they're very well capable of doing it?

    Liquid Cooling System

    It looks cool and stuff~ but it's not much more effective than aircooling. Oil retains heat.

    Who Here Grabbed Windows 7?

    Maybe they're trying something different? Building up reputation for this operating system and investing through the copies that they give out.

    PC specs for PCSX2

    I don't think PCSX2 is a multi-threaded application, it won't utilize more than one core. In this situation, a higher clocked processor is better than more cores at a lower frequency.

    Spore: The most pirated game ever

    It's hard to say if those downloads were actually losses. There are people who actually buy the game, or support the title and still download a copy where the DRM is removed. (You still have deal with the limited 3-time installation but atleast no secuROM is installed, right?)

    Far Cry 2

    I'm sure it will look a lot better than that, I've seen screens in PC Gamer that were much much more amazing than Crysis (and Crysis Warhead which is less graphics heavy than Crysis).

    Do you think VISTA virus free????

    Re: Is VISTA virus free???? First line of defense is common sense. If something looks suspicious, don't click the link. It's that simple. People that have their computer completely destroyed by a virus or any type of mal-content, more than likely was doing something they weren't suppose to be...
