    Official Fable III thread

    Yes your are correct warcrow, the game is not good at telling you how to do certain things that definally are self explanitory in other games... One thing I noticed is upgrading the look of your weapong does not come with constant use of it(that I have noticed). It comes from upgrading your...

    Official Fable III thread

    I got fable on the 26th and the over all feel of the game seems similar to the other 2, the characters in the game aren't as in depth as I would like them to be and your relationships with them are barely even touched. The action in this game is a vastly great improvement from the other...

    The picture of the cable within MC does not fit to the resolution on my HDTV or even remotely close to it, there is a black box lining the hole picture all the way around. And the picture quality looks a little snowy/interference. I didn't check ALL of my channels but I checked through like...

    HTPC Software and Best Configurations

    It is possible for me to wire both ends, but the HTPC will be connected to the router via ethernet for sure, and down the road when I upgrade the mobo, it will have a 1GB connection. The wireless is just to entertain the Xbox extender/Laptop in other rooms though it is possible to wire this side...

    New Budget HTPC Build

    Yes thats why I got it, BUT I was informed on a different forum that the card i picked up is not capable of picking up HD Channels(720p/1080i/p) because it does not say so in the documentation like this card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16815135001

    New Budget HTPC Build

    I picked up this card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16815116036 The reason i picked this one up is because of the dual tuner in it. I am not positive if it will be compatable with my cable service... but I am taking a risk because i want it asap, I will call my cable tech to ask him...

    New Budget HTPC Build

    Only reason I would like to remote control the htpc from my laptop accross the room is because it would be easier to read things on the screen....transfering files, configuring things on the htpc and just ease of use. I suppose once i get everything set up in WMC a remote control would be all i...

    No one have any comments? I don't know much about low end Video cards(which would be good for HTPC) and i don't know much about TV tuners, or if i should just upgrade the mobo and skip the video card... but the processor is pretty outdated and finding a good mobo that is compatable with my RAM...
