    Upgrading a Vostro 200 for Warhammer Online

    Well, here is the promised update. The 4670 and 2 gigs of RAM did the trick. The game plays super smooth and looks great. Honestly, I can barely see a difference in quality between this card and my more expensive 9800GT. Nice pick!!

    Upgrading a Vostro 200 for Warhammer Online

    Awesome guys, thanks so much! The dual core is a Core 2 Duo 2.5, and her monitor runs native at 1280*1024. Am I good to go ahead and buy the recommended card and ram?

    Upgrading a Vostro 200 for Warhammer Online

    Awesome guys! Thanks so much. The card is the perfect price! Secondary issue just occurred to me. From what I see, the Vostro 200 (non slim) has 4 RAM slots. I haven't opened it up myself yet as I don't want to screw around in there more than necesary. I imagine it is set up in a 2 x 1 gig...

    Upgrading a Vostro 200 for Warhammer Online

    Hi and thanks for the assistance. My girlfriend has a Vostro 200 that she picked up last year. She has recently begun playing Warhammer Online and is experiencing very poor FPS causing choppy gameplay even on the lowest graphics settings. I took a look at it and it is running Vista, 2 gigs of...

    Anyone interested in Fantasy Baseball?

    Hi, I post on a Transformers website regularly and was trying to get a league going there, but only ended up with 6 people. :( So I figured I'd come to my second favorite place for help. It is a 10 team private head to head league on CBS Sprtsline that drafts tomorrow afternoon at 2.30EST...

    How bad is a glossy screen outdoors?

    Hi, I've read some commetns on this, but am curious as to how bad it really is. Is it anoying, or is it just straight unuseable? The reason I ask is that I have a glossy NEC for my desktop and I love it so much more than my old matte. So, naturally, I was going to order truelife for my...

    Is this Dell build a good choice for me?

    Thanks for the great input guys. One huge thing is that I can download MS Office 2007 at school for free. Will that work with XP or only with Vista? I actually did not check out the refurbished systems as it seemed kinda shady to me since I have never bought anything tech based that was used...

    Is this Dell build a good choice for me?

    Hi, I am looking to pick up a laptop and was looking for a little advice. I am in an MBA program and it has progressed to the point wherein I really need a laptop for class and to be able to work where and whenever I have time. Most of the usage will be on the internet using sites like...

    How's BF 2142?

    Not even. I play BF2142 on a 1800+ with a 7600 and a gig of RAM. I have no complaints in smaller games. Theres some lag in full 48/60 player games but nothing intolerable. I've been playing for 2 weeks and I've noticed the following. Regarding the balance question, I would say that the...

    So I picked up BF2142

    There is no campaign. You can fire up some maps with bots to practice against, but its pretty easy. Best to just jump right in I think. This is pretty much multiplayer only.

    So I picked up BF2142

    Ah, unfortunately, I had already logged about 10 hours of gameplay and 10 hours of getting the game to work before he posted. Howeever, everything is working perfectly now. Yay!!!

    So I picked up BF2142

    Hi, So, based on the recomendations here, I picked up 2142. I am just awful at it, but I am blaming my 7 year old mouse for that. ;) So I went ahead and ordered a G5. Hopefully it will somehow make me shoot straighter, lol. Anyway, if anyone wants toplay, I am quite diligent about...
