    Headset suggestions

    If it's external couldn't you just talk and it should be able to pick it up no matter where it is on your desk? P.S. I agree with what Rob said about headphones over $100. I've done quite a bit of research myself and it's way better to get one without a mic in that price-range.

    CPU suddenly going slower

    Oh really? Haha. I was almost hoping that there was something wrong with my CPU. That would give me an excuse to get a new one. Been kicking myself for not getting quad core :P I guess I just thought it was weird that it just popped up like that suddenly and I've never seen it before. Whenever I...

    CPU suddenly going slower

    For some reason my CPU is suddenly going slow as. I can't think of anything to explain it, I just saw that it was like that when a steam game told me my CPU wasn't the recommended speed for the game, and said mine was 2.1ghz alongside the recommended speed for the game. I have an Intel E6750...

    Are you a Nerd?

    Overall, you scored as follows: 23% scored higher (more nerdy), 1% scored the same, and 76% scored lower (less nerdy). What does this mean? Your nerdiness is: Mid-Level Nerd. Wow, it takes a lot of hard nerdy practice to reach this level. I used to deny that I'm a nerd, but recently I've...

    Headset suggestions

    I was actually in your position about a week ago. I did some research, and everyone seems to be saying that the best headset you can get for your money (and just below your price range) is the Sennheiser 201. I should be getting mine this week so I don't have any personal experience to share...

    Weird system crashing problem

    I'm thinking about getting an EVGA card, RMAing my MSI card, and selling it to someone when it comes. I just don't want to be stuck with this crap if anything goes wrong with it later.

    Weird system crashing problem

    Uhh yeah... The thing that is really pissing me off atm is that the guy that I talked to on the phone told me to send it back, and they will find a replacement. This is most likely going to take ages because they have to go straight back to MSI with the case for the card. Which means that...

    Weird system crashing problem

    Ok I just found out for sure that my card is the problem and has to be faulty. I posted all this info up on an Australian magazine forums site and it just so happened that a guy on there who used to have the exact same card was getting the exact same problems as I am. I'll probably ring the...

    Weird system crashing problem

    Yeah at work we tried and XFX 7300gts or something like that (just something we found lying around). Also tried a Radeon X300. Game seemed to run fine on both. I'll see how i got with claiming warranty on the card. How does the warranty normally work? Will they give me back the cash i spent on...

    Weird system crashing problem

    Actually there's another update. It's not fixed at all. I don't know why but at that one time, the game decided to play happily with the wireless card out. It is doing it with the following games: Half Life 2 Half Life 2: Episode 2 (works with episode 1 :S) Rappelz Rohan UT2004 I'm...

    Funpidgin Released, Fixes Crippled Pidgin Feature

    I've been using pidgin for a while after I saw my brother using it and although it's a hell of alot better than MSN for me in many aspects, there were a few problems like you guys mentioned above. Now after hearing about this fork, I'm definately going to go home and check out some alternatives...

    Weird system crashing problem

    Well something I didn't mention earlier was that I had a Belkin G wireless network card in there as well, and haven't been using it since a couple of weeks ago when I got a 15 metre network cable because I was fed up with the slow wireless speeds and the constant dropping out (which seemed to...

    Weird system crashing problem

    Thanks Rob, that would be absolutely awesome if you could check that card for me on your benchmarking machine. Haven't had that much time to fiddle with it today but I was able to find enough time to take out the 9600GT and install a Radeon X300. I ran the game for long enough to know that it...

    Weird system crashing problem

    Still not fixed :( I've taken it to work and had a play with it there. A friend of mine said that he had a friend at work that had the same problem a little while ago and found that the problem was the monitor. I've tried it at work on several different monitors so there is no way it can be the...

    Far Cry 2 Trailer/Commentary Released

    I can't wait either. As soon as that comes out in stores near me I'm going to rush out and get it. I love the idea of being able to go and do whatever you want and explore such a vast terrain. Truly going to be awesome.

    Looking for a good free MMO

    I totally agree with you. It had some really cool features that I would love to see in some of todays upcoming fantasy MMO's like having a notepad to write on, being able to send message to fellow players quick and easy, having an awesome chat system, and yeah the effects were cool. I loved the...

    Looking for a good free MMO

    Jen I looked into Rohan and it looks better than all the others. The servers are down at the moment because they are currently performing the transition from CB to OB. Should be up to play around the 15th of May. What other games can you list?
