    Favourite online payment Option??

    Always Paypal. Never had trouble with it, but it is a hassle when you can only withdraw $500 per month

    Where do you buy your pc?

    I check www.dealcatcher.com for deals, and customize my computers. The cost for me to build comparable machines myself would easily be more money. For instance for $669 I got this setup from Dell: 20" LCD Widescreen Monitor 2.33 GHz Core2Duo, 4 MB L2 2 GB RAM 256 MB nVidia 8600GT 80 GB HDD...

    What is your favorite candy / treat?

    Snickers and Hershey's Dark are great. Other than chocolate bars, Mike and Ike's and Jujyfruit are pretty good gummy candies as well

    New Video Card?

    Heh I was playing GRID as well when I realized I needed a new graphics card.. coincidentally, my new dual slot 8800GT arrives in the mail today! I suggest a graphics card that has 512 MB memory, and a high number of stream processors, a high clock speed, and high memory clock speed. The 8800GT...

    The Dark Knight

    Didn't like the new Rachel Dawes, nor a few goofs in the movie, but the acting was great. A good popcorn movie, but definitely not the #1 movie of all time. SPOILER ALERT It's rumored that Rachel Dawes didn't die, and may come back as Catwoman

    Xbox - ??? 2010

    I'm sure Microsoft will release a new console, but 2010 seems too early. Rumors are going around that the HD-less console will be priced at $200, and the 60GB model will be priced at $299.

    what is ur pc configuration...

    Just processor? I've got a 2.33 GHz Core 2 Duo with a 4 MB L2 (L2 is quite important) On Newegg, several users have claimed to have overclocked it to 3 GHz after changing the stock heatsink and fan

    Good Ps3 Games

    If you like off road racing, definitely get Motorstorm (I was impressed) If you want professional racing, I suggest GRID (it's good for PC: tons of cars, great graphics, different racing types, but maps do get a little repetitive) For an FPS, definitely COD4 since it has the best online...

    Firefox 3.0

    I don't use the back or forward buttons (I use mouse gestures) It's just a pain to look at them

    Help me (Takes 10 seconds)

    Done. Surprised there aren't as many 1152x864 users.. If I'm not mistaken, I believe that's the screen resolution for the iPhone

    dark night brill film

    It's a good popcorn movie, probably the best of this summer. The problem is Hollywood has been releasing way too many sub-par films, and this one just happened to be better. I noticed that on IMDB, TDK fanboys are giving 1-star votes to The Godfather and The Shawshank Redemption in order to...

    Firefox 3.0

    I haven't noticed any performance differences between FF2 and FF3. Both still use a decent amount of memory when tabs are open, and still seem to have minor memory leaks. If you're fine with FF2 and don't want to mess up your bookmarks (which it did to mine), then stick with FF2. The buttons...

    Radeon HD 3870 - Opinions?

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814103050 The Radeon HD 3870 has the best bang-for-buck and beats many 8800GT's statistically. However, I've never owned an ATi card, so I don't know how well it will perform in games such as Crysis and COD4. Opinions? Any users...

    New Computer

    When it comes to getting PSUs, it is highly recommended to get name branded PSUs. I bought a Corsair 650W PSU that has 52 amps on a single 12 volt rail. Make sure you've got enough amperage on the 12 volt line to power your card. I'm personally an nVidia fan, but I'm sure ATi is pretty good...

    Ditch the Computer Time Limit

    I suggest you optimize your websurfing, i.e. choose websites you plan to visit, etc. It's for your own good in the long run. School has a greater priority over the computer

    I got a mail..

    Haha how coincidental. I knew that plenty of actors and celebrities did this but I never bothered

    Coolest game

    8 GB of RAM is pointless, but I've got a 2.33 GHz Core 2 Duo w/ 4 MB L2, 2 GB RAM, 256 MB 8600GT (going to be upgraded to 8800GT or GTS), and a 300W Bestec PSU (going to be upgraded to Corsair 650W; 52 amps on a single 12 volt rail!)

    Best graphic card?

    8800GT will out perform a 9600GT (look up the stats and compare it yourself). The 8800GT/GTS/GTX/Ultra series are still the best cards around. If you don't have the dough yet, then wait for a sale! It's definitely worth the wait Just make sure you pay attention to things like clock speed...
