    The Full On Windows 7 Upgrade **Matrix**

    And there's this. http://www.winsupersite.com/wi...tall_upgrade_media.asp But if you already have an activated Windows on another hard drive you can boot off the upgrade disc and install it. I couldn't use the 64 bit upgrade from within activated 32 bit Win 7 but it let me boot from the...

    How to Activate Hardware PhysX to play with an ATI Video Card

    There are compatibility reasons not to run Nvidia and ATI in the same system. Nvidia doesn't want a bunch of tech support calls because of incompatibilities between drivers. If ATI would port it to OpenCL they could then QA it from their side. A 5870+PhysX card should be faster than a 285+PhysX...

    Windows 7 Release Date Delivery and Amazon

    Free shipping from Amazon stinks. It was good last holiday season though so maybe it will get better in another month. Newegg doesn't discriminate against free shipping purchasers when they ship so I got it from them.

    The Full On Windows 7 Upgrade **Matrix**

    Yep. Just installed 64 bit from a cold boot and currently dual booting 32 and 64 bit Win 7. Both copies activated with the same key no problem. Not bad for $50.

    The Full On Windows 7 Upgrade **Matrix**

    That's good to know. I am going to try that now. How many keys can you use at a time? I booted off of my upgrade disc. Are you sure it isnt possible? I started to upgrade from within XP but then changed my mind and booted off the DVD so I could format the drive before I installed and it...

    Got it a few minutes ago with the free shipping from NE. It's nice to live within a 1 day radius of a NE warehouse. lol

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 for PC is now a LEGIT console port

    Exactly. And you get to pay $10 more for it too. I was skipping this game anyway. If it goes on sale for $20 at some point I might get it.

    Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising

    I like the game. I installed the AI mod and it is more challenging now. I mostly bought it for SP/Coop though. There is some mouse lag when the frame rate goes below 100 which is strange. A patch will be out soon and probbaly some DLC. The people that son't like it are expecting too much and...

    Shattered Horizons

    I used XP until the 7 beta and I haven't gone back to XP at all. 7 runs faster and much better overall. And both are 32 bit versions. I don't like that you lose some control with 7 but when you turn off auto updates and UAC it is alright. The game is pretty fun I thought. I just have a lot of...

    Upgrading from Win XP (32bit) to Win 7 (64bit) - upgrade ?

    You got it right. You can't upgrade your PC with an OEM. At least not mobo/CPU. That sounds good that the upgrade will be converted to a full version with an activated XP install. So you can reinstall Win 7 without having to reinstall XP first. So you can only have either 32 bit or 64 bit with...

    Windows 7 clean install from upgrade?

    I'm wondering about that also. I originally wanted to be able to keep XP and 7 with the upgrade version. Now I don't care so much about XP. I now want to be able to dual boot a 32-bit and 64-bit version of 7, but I don't know if you can. It looks like Newegg is shipping Windows 7 today as I got...

    ATI 5870 Triple XFire tested

    uhh I don't see Crysis there. Surely they benched it. Any other game doesn't need 3 5870's. I'll look again to make sure I didn't miss it.

    GT300 Benchmarks

    Looks about right to me. The 5850 X2 will compete with the GT300, not the 5870. The GT300 should be about 30% faster than a 295.
