I guess he's like Southpark's Cartman, who has to finish Styxx Come Sail Away if he starts singing it.

I think AMD was just better at hitting our price points. The new flagship Nvidia GTX 680 is outperforming the AMD HD 7970 a bit at single monitor resolutions, with a lower price and less power usage. It's out of my price range at $499 but I think the Nvidia 6xx generation, is going to give the AMD s...

Star Trek Online free to play now

You can download it through Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/app/9900/?snr=1_7_suggest__13 You then have to register for a free new account with Perfect Worlds, which will come up after you launch it through Steam. It's my first MMO. I'm actually enjoying the space battles even with my wimpy lig...

It's slower then a Radeon 5750 or Nvidia GTS 450 but a bit faster then an 8800 GT.

Sorry to hear that.
Be prepared for a lot of rejection letters but just remember it's a numbers game. 100 rejection letters means 100 companies know you're looking for work.

My HP Scanjet G3110 works fine.
It will scan 4 slides or negatives at a time.
It was around $100 but I'm not sure what the current equivalent model is.

I'm running 3 monitors at once so I could use the extra horsepower.
Since my maximum buy in is $300, I think it will be quite awhile before a card comes out, that can make an upgrade from 6970 performance worth while.
Looks like I'll be skipping a generation or 2 again.

It must be the 512 MB GTS, it was faster then the 8800 GT. The 320 and 640 MB GTS was slower then the 8800 GT. All are substantially faster then the 5450 which you had running great in TF2, so they won't be a problem. 8800 GTS 512MB Core Clock: 650 MHz Memory Clock: 970 MHz (1940 DDR) Memory Bandwid...

To display your frames per second in game: bring up the console and type: cl_showfps 2 to display your fps at the top right of the screen. (that's C L not D) If you don't have the console enabled: From the TF2 main menu select: Options Keyboard Advanced then select Enable developer console. I believ...

The AMD 7970 will be available for sale on January 09.
Looks to me like it will be about 40% faster then the AMD 6970.
It's way too expensive for me at $550.
