Kind of makes me wonder what the new top-line models will feature. My guess is that they will have two GPUs like the older 7950GX2. Ati's done it with the HD2600, but only god knows why lolz...  [Read More]

AMD bought Ati not too long ago but that doesn't mean their CPU works better with either...I'd just say go for whatever's the best bargain in your area ATM, which would probably be the 2900Pro or maybe the brand new 8800GT that puts all GTS cards to...  [Read More]

sweet demo. seriously, there isn't this much content in some games, so that was a nice touch. performance wise, i was able to run the game at a steady 25-50FPS (measured with Fraps) with most settings at High, and several settings at very high. grant...  [Read More]

However, the only use for home sector I can imagine is when you want/need to have an older OS running or something. Or try out a Linux distro ;) But I'd want to try out an older OS as well if I could get my hands on some old school games (like the wa...  [Read More]

Cool, thanks for that guys... One for stingerhs: When you install Ubuntu/Kubuntu, it gives you an option to partition your drive automatically and manually, but automatic is just a format of that drive I've noticed (mind you I've only tried it in VB...  [Read More]

I was gonna say, go into the NWN2 folder, extract some of your savegames you want to keep, delete the entire folder after that and re-install NWN2 and MotB, I'd also remove the registry keys like stoffe said, though I dunno how to do it since I've ne...  [Read More]

Is AMD's new RV670 chip going to be produced as the HD3800? Seems like it, I read in an article they wanted to step away from the HD2000 name because it didn't impress much...True, false? I dunno. But that seems to be the name they're going for. In...  [Read More]
