Yes, the video driver is GeForce 301.42, current as of 22 May 2012. The game seems to be updated, though I haven't figured out how to verify. After installing the other day, it did a 2GB download. I'll double-check that, but it does a version check each time I launch.

Hi, I'm late to the party and just picked up bfbc2. Had played some bf2, but not very well. I thought I should check out the updated one, but I'm getting horrible frame rates. I just installed fraps and my system is running between 3 & 4 frame per second. You read that right, 4 is the max I'm...

I think there is a lot of confusion regarding health insurance versus healthcare. They are not interchangeable.

Well, I tried the other ports and I think it's actually worse. I guess I'll try contacting Biostar to see if they know of driver issues. It doesn't make any sense to me still, a keyboard isn't exactly rock science.

Hi All, I was curious if anyone has experienced a keyboard repeating the first character typed after coming out of S3 sleep mode? It doesn't matter what I'm doing, I can open the "start" button and click in the "search" or "run" fields and it just goes nuts repeating. The same thing in Chrome...

I think Americans are more likely to believe in gloom and doom which causes them to over-estimate the actual threats. I tend to agree with the assessments I've read from George Friedman: http://www.amazon.com/Next-100-Years...dp/0767923057/ or...

Thanks guys, I was thinking the Kia Optima too, it looks sharp, but I couldn't tell from the descriptions how it compared to the Sonata models. It seems more like the SE with the sportier/stiffer ride, but I haven't tried it out myself. I'll have to look at the Fusion again, but like the VW...

Sorry in advance for the long winded read and self-contradictory ideas. We've got a baby and I don't want her in the backseat of our 2002 Saturn SL1 because of safety ratings for those seats. It seems OK for me and I get really great mpg in the car (upper 30s usually). I've been looking for...

Thanks! I'll give it a try this weekend when I can take the RAM back out, but it looks like it's actually an issue with the disk image: MSDN Forum discussion "you are not going to like this. Is this the image you installed from MSDN...

Thanks, I'll see if I can locate one. I was concerned about trying that since I found some results in my searching that seemed to indicate having multiple sticks of RAM when installing Vista 64bit was an issue prior to SP1. I have 4x 1GB DDR2-800.

Hi, Sorry for this being long, I'm hoping someone will spot the user error or bad process I'm using. I was hoping someone might have a suggestion for me. I have a new hard drive and thought it would be a good chance to jump from Vista Home Premium 32bit to the same version 64bit. I added...

What upgrades would you recommend to make the game run smoother? I'm on Vista 32bit and haven't had many issues at all, but I can not do the ship battles because it is so slow and uncontrollable. I've tried setting the graphics to the lowest setting and it did not seem to help. I know I'm at the...

hi, yesterday my computer started freezing. It seems to be getting worse, it started with windows just not coming out of sleep (s3, I think) on Vista. It did that twice over the whole day, but now I sometimes can't get through the post. I went in to look at the temps in BIOS and it froze...

My wife was a flight attendant and she was always issued TravelPro. She kept her last set after she quit in 2001 and it's still going strong. I've been using it since for my business travel and it's still like new. Hers was Crew3, but I saw at the Macy's sale that Crew6 is the current model...

Hi All, I'm in the process of gathering parts to replace my current system. It's been a while since I built one from scratch and things have sure changed. Background: I've got a Barton 2500+ OC'd to 3200 (2.2ghz) with a 6800nu (unlocked to 6800GT). I'd like something a little more quiet...
