Something to try. I checked into the requirements for the game. Recommended is 8gb of memory and a 500 series graphics card. Hit control alt delete and how much memory do you have free right after you boot? Also check on any applications you have running in the background.

What kind of performance problems are you having? You do gain some serious performance when you upgrade from say what you have to an ivy bridge. If you are seeing stuttering check and see if it is when your hard drive is accessing. SSD drives are on sale and you would definitely notice the...

Hi all, With all the news surrounding corporate hacking on the rise I wanted to ask the question. For a home based user. Cable modem to router to pc's connected. What tools are available to detect a network intrusion for the home user? Are there also any good places to learn how to track and...

I'm looking to buy some bulk ink jet printable blank media. I have narrowed the choice down to memorex and verbatim. I know both offer good quality burns. Does either one make higher quality ink jet printing than the other?

I have no idea what they changed but there is a new dx9c for us non-vista users out here. They are dated from Febuary 2nd. I grabbed them up and they didn't hose my box. If there is anyone in the know out there. What did they change?

Wanted to post and see if any one else was having problems with the card. It was a nice upgrade until it stopped working entirely. All screen corruption when you start up now. Newegg does't sell them anymore and Leadtek RMA service won't reply to my emails. Tried calling them on morning and...

I know there is some one out there that has run into the same problem. Have been burning my own audio cd's as of late and want to give some of them a more professional look. I'm a musican and want to make a couple demo discs without buying a litescribe or a new inkjet printer. The only problem...

Well come next week or so it should be very informative for both sides. With what is known about thier next gen. I don't think that amd's on die controller will be all that advantageous. When you look at the reviews that have come out as of yet with even the yonah core on what I wouldn't...

I'm sure that both companies will outperform the 9800xt which is an accomplishment in itself. Although the transistor discrepency between the 6800u and the x800 makes me woner. Running a big fat 222million for the 6800u vs the ~160 for the r420. Either way though I won't be buying either high...

All I hear is blah, blah, blah. Surely graphics chips are getting more powerful, and with that said are running as hot as ever. Both the nv40 and r420 are both going to cost well out of my price range as I don't have $499 for a video card to spend. I also don't have a 500 watt power supply to...

It is hard to say just how good tejas will be. Given the lacklustre p4 part from its very beginnings, I think that they pooched the design from the start. There are supposed to be some of the next generation building blocks architected into tejas also. More and more though the power saving...

The 5700 ultras that they "launched" with ddr3 were supposed to be available by mid march. Well that has come and gone, and still no 5700u's with ddr3.

Theres something to be said when a 1.4ghz p3 matches up evenly with a p4 running 400mgz+. Pair that up with half the power consumption and 1/3 the heat and it is hard to put it down. Yes they cost more than a p4, but they are far and away better. The real shame of the matter is that they were...

If the system won't post, then it is probably an incompatibility between it and the mainboard. Put your old processor back in and try to find an updated bios.
