That is the exact same GPU I have and yes, no matter which driver you get, it'll always show as a 2600 XT, it doesn't affect performance, so don't worry. The last year, the card has been registered as a 2600XT for some reason, there was something changed in one of the driver revisions, and sicne...

Short answer... not much. I too have an ancient PC and yours is more powerful. I have a P4 3.0 with HT, 2GB ram, Win7 and WinXP, and an HD 3650 (AGP). You'll find you are completely CPU bound, even if you upgraded to an HD 4670 (assuming AGP), your FPS won't budge. If you drop the resolution...

Knowing ECS, it's likely form over function... until they can make a motherboard that actually works as intended (and safely), all the shine and gloss in the world won't save them. Yes, been burnt by them...

If i was still into colour modding... i'd rather get a CC tube, i prefer even colour over LED points. With the LEDs, you could achieve a semi-even look by placing them in a line of 3 side backed foil, so the light reflects inside the foil and released from the open side in a more diffused...

That is indeed true... trolls and flame baiters... why do they have to ruin someone's day? because they can.... *sigh*

By banning all religious symbols they are being discriminatory against religion vs. people with no belief, while not necessarily illegal, it could provoke a very negative reaction and possibly challenged in court. People have a right (free speech etc) to express their beliefs. I can't say for...

Steam, where one can buy $150 of games for $30... been keeping an eye on the deals the last few days, missed the first round, but oh well. Picked up the Original Deus Ex couple days ago. Just so you all know, last day of deals includes Burnout Paradise, Warhammer 40k Dawn of War 2 Gold, the...

Can't ban religious symbols without insuring the wrath that is the legal team on religious discriminatory charges. Also, many of these same symbols are used in game iconography anyway... vampires and crosses, Ankhs, Celtic crosses, pagan stars, etc . Can't be held to a double standard...

I'd have to say i'm in two minds as well. On the one hand, if it's remade well, and they don't change too much, then i'm cool with it, it's all to do with the feeling of the game, does it encourage nostalgia but with pretty graphics and removal of annoying bugs... enough to make you cry with...

The first games i played were Sim City, Civilization, UFO: Enemy Unknown (X-Com Defense), UFO: Terror From the Deep, Master of Orion, Master of Magic, Heretic and Doom. Later i expanded into the C&C games, Dune 2, Warbreeds, and then spent a hell of a lot of time with X-Com Apocalypse and Master...

Picometers are smaller than atoms (31 wide for a Helium atom), so i doubt it, lol. They'd probably strip certain redundant core logic and maybe scale them to multiple layers, since each core would consume little power, thus layers becomes feasible due to reduced heat.... unless they go the IBM...

Windows ME, people didn't forget that one :p. Vista was MEr2, Win7 is the new XP. Will Win7 stick around for 10 years? Probably not, since MS has let slip about Win8 a few times already... which is kind of like Longhorn (who remembers that?), delayed and delayed and renamed, feature stripped...

It doesn't create a single 3TB partition, it takes the remaining unallocated space and creates a new virtual hard drive out of it. When you look at the the 3TB drive in Disk Manager, it will show the 2,2TB partition with 800GB unallocated space, but if you select the 800GB and try to format it...

I forgot to mention that.... that's what the 2 USB slots are for on the front... Keyboard and mouse, so you're set :D.

Cloud based gaming, not up there with the faries but a large collection of servers offering up interactive games over the internet with minimal local processing. OnLive has been stirring up quite a bit of interest over the last couple years with an interesting take on playing games. Instead of...

He's away for a couple days (weekend and monday), i'll bug him for an update when he gets back.

Intel's Sandy Bridge processors are rumored to be delivered within the next two months, and some proof of that is the fact that motherboard vendors are coming forth with lots of information about their upcoming product. ASUS is one of these, and has briefed us on a large collection of its H67 &...

LOL, dual channel laser mice.... the sad thing is, i can see it happening... 2% gains in accuracy, WOOT! "It's doing it again!!!" shouting as a rather ominous white electrical storm happens in the corner of the room... yup, I've had those moments, usually followed by a sharp bang, puff of...

3TB drives have slowly been popping up these last few months in one form or another, such as Seagate's External GoFlex drive, Western Digitals internal Caviar Green with PCIe card and Hitachi's own internal 3TB drive. These drives are great and all, but there be a small caveat, most motherboard...
