    Fairly newer RPG out called Drakensang...its more of a 3rd person game though, but its definitely worth a play. I've been havin fun with it. Almost seems like a direct mix of NWN and Fable.

    Why aren't Creative drivers WHQL certified?

    Everytime I update/ reinstall drivers for my X-fi it says they are not WHQL certified.

Every other driver I have installed is WHQL certified...

    Nasty trojan/ spyware, can't remove

    Will I see performance drop going from e8400 to Q6600?

    I noticed that Q6600 runs at 1066 fsb but e8400 runs at 1333. I currently have my e8400 @ 3.6ghz, and hoping to get the Q6600 around the same speed because I got a G0 Slacr model. Still don't understand why the q6600 runs at 1066 fsb and not 1333?

    Very annoying Firefox problem...

I did notice that I get a cursor now on webpages, could that have something to do with it? Now if I want to find some text on a page I have to select the whole page, paste it...
