XP is fine if you've already got a copy. If you need to buy a new OS, Vista's pretty much your only option for gaming. 64-bit operating systems can address more than ~3Gb of memory, so if you're planning to use 4gb, you'll probably want a 64-bit OS. Also, being able to process 64-bit...

Do what? Quote/edit his post?

Fixed.

Funny you should say that, because they had a Bose set in the booth for comparison - both headsets were split from the same ipod, and the AblePlanet set sounded about 3x louder than the Bose QuietComfort - probably due to the high frequency harmonics. They'd be good on a plane, methinks.

Depending on the marker and cleaner that were used, smudges where there were none isn't that surprising. Some inks can lift up like dry-erase marker under the right circumstances, and the object used to wipe it down may not have been clean.

I think I've played '94 thru '98 or so. A LOT. This sounds awesome, thanks for the heads-up.

*clears throat* "I know, hon, but the HTPC really needed to have an X-fi, and I just couldn't justify spending the money for a new one. Getting the Xonar for the gaming rig was the responsible thing to do." Sound good?

I completely disagree with that. I guarantee it doesn't take anywhere close to an hour, and if the unit isn't clean when it's returned, it's less likely to exude that "it's just like brand new" feeling, which is great for PR.

The Google results suggest a generic panel distributed by Circuit City as early as 2004. I'd say a good monitor is more important than a good video card any day of the week. With a cursory glance I see that Newegg's got some nice Samsung 22" panels for just under $300. I suggest you keep...

Forgive me, what I meant to say was that Live Free or Die Hard was a phoned-in piece of crap movie that should've been edited out of existence. Note to all you uber-hackers out there - the next time a mysterious group of people give you a fully assembled uber-PC in an acrylic case as payment...

Yup, that'd tick me right off. People can say that the kid was stupid, and I might agree to an extent, but not everyone has $350 lying around to go out and buy another console, and he did call and ask about exactly this kind of thing happening - what more assurance could he have gotten?

Goes to show that listening to Top Gun's dog-fight scenes in a crowded trade show booth is not the ideal way to make a purchase decision. :D

Overclocking is the easiest thing in the world nowadays with any halfway decent motherboard and an Intel Core2 CPU. Forgive me for saying so, but your gaming resolution is pretty bad - maybe it'd be better to ask what the native resolution of your monitor is? (crosses fingers) Since the...

Have you seen Live Free or Die Hard? Every scene in that movie should've been edited out.

Irony on the internet: the fad that never catches on.

Inconceivable! Now excuse me while I go enjoy some Dungeon Keeper 3. *cries*

Pwnt! F4d5 R teh suk.

Bah. Don't be deterred by all this psycho over-analysis. Portal is a simple, quick, fun, and hilarious game. There's a reason everyone likes it.

It really sucks that folks at CES were sporting motherboards with three 3870s but didn't have drivers. On the upside, at least Crossfire seems to be providing decent performance immprovements - a third 8800GTX could be better utilized as a door-stop these days. I'm anxiously awaiting the 790G...

That article makes a few too many assumptions. While the overall premise is accurate, I think the author digs a little too deep in an effort to find feminism at every turn. In particular, I was never under the impression that the cube was a male entity. The author suggests that man is the...
