OK, my old (5+ yo) DLink is dying on the wireless side and it's time to start thinking about a replacement/upgrade. We've also got DOCSIS 3 coming to the neighborhood, and I'd like to have something that could handle the faster speeds (may look at the faster tiers, maybe 22/5...it's good to...

One other lesson learned...Newegg is absolutely wonderful to deal with...even though I'm not a huge spender, they treated me like royalty. I'll definitely keep sending all my business their way and will recommend the same to my friends.

OK...the new video card arrived from Newegg. Thanks, Newegg! Got it all installed, started up using the standard SVGA driver...everything works fine. Installed the nVidia driver and rebooted. DESPAIR! The exact same problem happened again. So...it's not the card. I decided to...

I've often thought this would be kind of fun. It could start out as an RPG type game and as you gain money/influence, it could advance to more of an RTS, where you spend more time managing assets and NPCs (someone's got to be all of those medieval peasants after all), possibly players in the...

OK, got home last night and completely removed the video card drivers while in safe mode. Reinstalled them using the latest drivers downloaded from XFX -> Same problem. Tried reinstalling the OS. Went through all of that then reinstalled the latest drivers -> Same problem. Next step is...

Pretty much any MMO for me now. I got hooked on MUDs for a while in the early '90s, moved to UO, then to EQ, then to DAoC. I love the idea behind them. But the grindy aspects and the other people playing end up ruining the experience. I haven't tried WOW, but from what I've read, all the...

Thanks jaqie! I'll give that a try when I get home tonight and will post back with the results! Actually, I still fire up Ultima VII in Exult from time to time, and played through Ultima III in my C-64 emulator for old time's sake about six months ago, so I'm with you there!
