Another vote for Spore!

I have to disagree with you thegimp03. EA: to make a good NFS again, please do the follwing: LET SOMEONE ELSE MAKE IT! Other than that I basically agree with you. :) EA just made a bigger but bland looking world and then cut&pasted features from previous titles into it while downgrading the...

Perhaps it has something to do with finding artifacts and/or relics. By saving the game you will save all the artifacts/relics you have found (and won't have to find them again) but you won't save the location you are at. This is a console game as well which usually means there's no PC style...

No, it's Everest. :)

I use AVG Free as well and there's no reason to worry about the box underneath the program window. Basically it's an ad for AVG Internet Security with a download button next to it. Here's a screenshot of it: http://img204.imageshack.us/my.php?image=avgfreexi3.jpg I have no idea why it's in...

In no particular order: Half-Life (the original) Half-Life 2 & Episodes (even greater than the original) Portal (short but oh so sweet!) Deus Ex System Shock 2 (arguably my all time favorite, I no longer like monkeys) Giants: Citizen Kabuto (hilarious and original) F.E.A.R. & 1st...

I have a minor problem with my system tray icons. When I mouse over them a text bar is displayed with info about whatever program it is and when I mouse over the time a text bar with the date is displayed. The problem is that these text bars appear under the system tray, I can see the top...

Thanks for the help all. I would have responded earlier but for some reason I haven't been able to connect to Anandtech for almost a week. Anyway, I bought myself some 96% ketonatus alcohol at the local pharmacy (no isopropyl alcohol here) for $3 and it has worked great. It even made it...

Thanks, that's what I thought. I've searched around and it's suggested to use high-purity isopropyl alcohol for cleaning. Is that the same as rubbing alcohol? I know I don't have either so does anyone know what kind of store would be likely to carry either?

I have an Abit KN8 Ultra s939 mobo and to squeeze some more life out of it I'm going to install an AMD X2 4200+ with a CoolerMaster XDream K640 CPU Cooler (bit of a cheap cooler but I don't overclock). I also have some thermal compound. The part of the heatsink that will be in contact with...

I'm using 2 x 512 of DDR 400 RAM as well and am contemplating updating so I'll have 4 x 512 RAM. What does "have to run it at a 2T" mean?

I would like to request a profile for the Samsung 206BW. I haven't got the first clue on how to calibrate my new LCD monitor. And if anyone knows a good resource where manual calibration is explained (without use of a colorimeter) that would be much appreciated as well. EDIT: Thanks for the...
