So I tried uninstalling PunkBuster from both the add\remove menu and the Battlefield Vietnam Setup. I get the...

    CPU instruction set

    Hmm, weird. "The X2 is capable of decoding SSE3 instructions (except those few specific to Intel's architecture" Thats what Wiki said. Not very sure what it means, but im guessing either A: Your motherboard has an intel chipset, and for one reason or another, it doesn't let the X2 decode...

    Old worn out pc - worth upgrade?

    You would not be limited, but your processor would be a real bottleneck for the processor; it would be not fast enough to supply a high end card with enough data to get the card's full potential. Not only would your CPU hold it back, but also your power supply. If the system you are using is a...

    Old worn out pc - worth upgrade?

    It depends on what kind of graphics slot you have on that PC. Hopefully you have an AGP slot, if not an extra PCI slot. Second Life isn't really that demanding, at least from the recommended system specs Iv'e seen. Here are the cards that I would get on a budget, iv'e personally used this one...

    Old worn out pc - worth upgrade?

    It really depends on what you use it for. If it is just for text processing, e-mail, websurfing, etc... you could stick with it. If you plan to do any serious gaming or resource hungry tasks on that, (IMO) I would just get a new pc. Yes, you could increase performance through upgrading, but with...

    Would it work?

    I had an idea today... I saw the videos about how people made plasma by putting candles in the microwaves. Pretty damn cool. Plasma is made by passing electricy through a gas, or something like that, right? Im not a physicist or anything. So I was just wondering, is it possible to make an actual...

    cooling advice

    IMO... Doesn't look good. Not at all. Is that just after exiting a game? If not, you have to get some extra cooling on that graphics card, or get it replaced. I forget were I heard this, not sure if its true, but I think that at around 80C+, something called electromigration really kicks in...

    AVI Trouble

    Hey all, recently finished setting up a RAID 0, though I had to re-install windows. When I try to play AVI's now, they are always almost black and white. This happened after I installed an Xvid codec pack, a respected Xvid codec pack that I've used in the past (I think its called Koepi's or...
