    Buy a Galaxy Tab S 8.4 now, or wait?

    Hi everyone, I had a chance to spend about an hour playing around with the Galaxy Tab S 8.4, with the Exynos 5 processor. It seems to me that this is the best android tablet around, at least for under $400, and in the 7-8 inch "mini-tablet" category. I owned a Nexus 7 which was great, but it's...

    Keyboard shortcuts problem (Windows 8)

    I have a weird problem with my Windows 8 laptop. Every time I log in to desktop, several hotkey shortcuts are enabled, but WITHOUT using the Windows key. So what happens is, the first time I hit the 'F' key by itself, the Files menu suddenly appears. Or, the first time I hit the 'R' key by...

    EQ 2

    Just a couple of thoughts re: Classic EQ1. I see it as like a beta testing of mmo gaming in general. The fact is, there is so much the developers hadn't thought of when the game first rolled out. Who would have foreseen hundreds of players packed into the EC tunnel as a general trading area...

    EQ 2

    That's the thing about Classic EQ, which differentiates it from all other MMOs. (we can argue about the reasons... it's the developers, it's the community.. it's whatever...) But the freaking massive death penalty you got in EQ made it a completely different game from anything else I have...

    Best video card to run on a 180watt PSU?

    Thanks everyone for the input. I should have spent more time considering this when I got the system. I went ahead and got the 5570 without an extra power supply. What is the biggest risk I'm taking in not upgrading the power supply? Just that the PSU will burn out... if so I just get another...

    Best video card to run on a 180watt PSU?

    I'm just hoping to find something that won't be too costly but can give some improvement. I'm thinking the 5570 now at $50 (after MIR) will give me that.
