    Future Proofing My Gaming Rig

    Conclusion I just found out and confirmed that the eVGA Step Up program only allows me to upgrade my current video card to the standard e-GeForce 8800Ultra 768MB. The video card I initially wanted to get was not one of the possible upgrade options available to eVGA customers. Which makes...

    Future Proofing My Gaming Rig

    On the Fence Right now, I'm on the line whether or not I should upgrade my video card through eVGA's Step Up program. I have about 2 weeks to decide before it's too late. If I do decide to take advantage of the Step Up program, it would cost me $150 + any shipping fees. So I'm guessing...

    Future Proofing My Gaming Rig

    I checked out that Lost Planet demo. I had high expectations and from all the reviews I read, it seemed like it was going to be a jaw-dropping experience. Unfortunately, I found the demo to be OK. I'm looking forward to Crysis to show me what DirectX 10 is all about. I want to have a...

    Future Proofing My Gaming Rig

    I currently own an EVGA GeForce 8800 GTX ACS3 KO video card and I use Windows Vista Business 32-bit. I bought Company of Heroes because I heard it was a great game and I got to try out the DirectX 10 patch that recently came out. I didn't see too much of a difference, but I did notice one...

    How would you push 8GB?

    It's all about the Benjamins. I'm still debating on upgrading to 3 or 4GB myself. I decided against enabling PAE mode because I hear it "lowers performance". And the last thing I need is lowering my performance! I recently just doubled my HDD Performance by using on-board raid instead of the...

    Vista 32-Bit 2GB vs. 3GB

    Rob Williams: Do you recommend I go 4 x 1GB or 2 x 1GB + 2 x 512MB? I really want to stick with Windows Vista 32-bit because of the driver problems with 64-bit. I'm not sure if /PAE would solve my problem because so far it seems no one has had any success with it to my knowledge. I have no...
