    Whats Your Favorite Nintendo System of all time ?

    For me, probably, NES - I never used the original thing, though - it was always some fake-ass variation, but technically the same all those awesome games - Battletoads, Mario, Felix the cat, Battle City. I do have one at home,actually :D bought it for like 16$ (~8 LVL). It is designed like...

    External Harddrive - Corrupted or unreadable

    Formatting means that the drive will be reset, in a manor of speaking - it will rebuild the file system, deleting everything that's on the drive (basically, wiping it). Checking for errors won't do any harm - that's just checking after all. But knowing windows, I'd say it'll just say that it...

    Video Card for my Compaq PC

    1. anything that runs on PCI-e will show an improvement over a integrated gfx chip. Won't be a gaming machine, but a lot better than what you have now 2. Upgrade. Windows 7 is faster and better. 3. there won't be any real gain, I think. In pure GHz terms it's not really faster - maybe the...

    New CPU playing joker on me...

    Try to load the default settings of your BIOS from the BIOS (without resetting via battery or jumpers); What does the manual of IS7-E say? Maybe there's a BIOS update that can fix this; That manual installation wizard looks kinda phony. I wouldn't say that the motherboard did really...

    Memory question

    Any RAM, no matter the vendor, that has the same parameters, that you listed, will work. But, as for the price, unless you search for used hardware, then you won't get anywhere cheaper. Old-specification RAM (especially pre-DDR2) will be expensive, since there's little demand for it in the...

    folders with extensions

    I found that by default all extensions are being hidden. Since a folder has no extension, and I add one, it automatically becomes the extension of that folder and is hidden by the system. Hence, anything I add/remove later is simply considered to be a part of the filename. The solution was to...

    folders with extensions

    OS: Snow Leopard Consider the following situation. I have a folder named CoolFolder. If I needed a folder with the same name, but wanted to keep the previous, I can rename it to, let's say CoolFolder.off; I then create a new folder called CoolFolder, do whatever I have to and delete that...

    My new rig - will all the parts work?

    I'd say yes. On a side note: why not take 6 or 8 gb of RAM (just to pass over to overkill zone)

    Can't Access Settings

    It's as if the usercp.php isn't even there (Opera 10.61).

    Survival Game

    It would have a lot of other elements as well - Sims being one of it. It could be a kind of RPG, FPS, and strategy (like conserve the water that you have, don't eat all your food at once because that'll dehydrate you - eating small amounts over time is a lot better and much more efficient ).

    Thanks! It's so amazing sometimes how those spammers try to camouflage their puny attempts at spamming/advertising :D . HWF's the cleanest forum I've seen, so I wanna add my effort and keep it that way.

    Need help with upgrading my Lenovo h 215

    If you plan on getting a video card (which you definitely should cause no integrated stuff is capable of any decent gaming, especially when the speech is turned toward very very recent games), then do certainly change your PSU, too. A 600W 80+ rated would be a very good thing leaving room for...

    Question on upgrading video card.

    I think that his question is whether his card is outdated. My answer: not really. In terms of performance, it's a bit better than the 5770 (no matter that the 275 has DDR3 - the memory interface size is more than twice as large as the 128-bit GDDR5 of the 5770), but the 5770 has DirectX 11...

    Please suggest me…

    dude, no reason to be all sarcastic about it. First step is to post a bit more info - what kind of VGA do you use if any, what's the memory (DDR/DDR2) What's your computer housing like (how big) What's the HDD interface like - sata or ide? Why do you want to change your mobo? All you...

    Athlon II X3 good for gaming?

    I agree that the x3 will be good enough, especially if you go there and up the MHz of the cores a little ;)

    9800 GT problem

    Try another video card. It may be that a cable or the monitor are faulty (which is a long shot, but anyway). If that doesn't work out, scrap the card.
