    1 boot == 1 play with Steam and Fallout NV?

    I was having a similar issue and just trying a few times it eventually works. Win 7 x64 with nvidia drivers as well. Seems its just temper mental and I never reboot my machine. Side note, im using 8800gt vid card with probably out of date drivers and have 4gb ram, gigabyte mobo, and intel...

    Macbook vs Macbook Pro

    Thanks, this has been really helpful. I spent a lot of time reading everything all over the apple site including some of the pdf manuals that are on their support site. I found answers to tons of questions I had in some of the fine print. Some things I learned recently that I didn't know are...

    Macbook vs Macbook Pro

    Awesome thanks. Are there more sites like this that do "reviews" like Thurrott does? Even if they are mostly just opinionated or a "hey look at these new features" type of thing. For instance, I can't seem to find too much about the graphing calculator app on Mac OS in the utilities folder but I...

    Possible New iPhone Coming, Where To Get It?

    Don't forget. Walmart now sells iPhones and you can apparently order them online http://www.engadget.com/2009/0...hone-3g-orders-online/ Not sure if online will work for the new ones though.

    Macbook vs Macbook Pro

    You guys are awesome thanks. I just spent about an hour with a macbook pro at best buy and im pretty sure im going to get one of those. I do have a question though. I consider myself a power user when it comes to operating systems and i know that mac os is based loosely on freebsd linux so a...

    Macbook vs Macbook Pro

    Didn't think about OpenCL. That and the new grand central apis for multi core systems ought to really pump these machines up. I'm really hoping Snow Leopard will be announced at WWDC or at least get a release date. They just did a cut off on the apis so thats a good sign.

    Macbook vs Macbook Pro

    I'm not too worried about cost though I do see some value in adding hardware after the fact, there are some things you just cant upgrade such as the screen. I'll probably end up picking someones brain at an apple store thats about 50 minutes from me to really make up my mind. Thanks all.

    Macbook vs Macbook Pro

    I'm going to order a refurb macbook or macbook pro after the June Apple WWDC event (pending some awesome announcement that changes my mind). I need the machine for school (CS major), programming, iphone dev, imovie video editing, some light photo editing and most importantly is batter life...

    Windows 7 Blog

    I found this the other day and while reading through it I was rather impressed with all the work this team is putting into windows 7. I also found some insight into their thinking this time around about making things faster overall. http://blogs.msdn.com/e7/default.aspx Also, the post on...

    2 Windows XP's?!

    Dont edit boot.ini you could make your system unbootable. What happened is windows wrote two installs to the MBR, but this is an easy fix. Go to start > run > and type 'msconfig' not quotes and hit enter. In msconfig click on the BOOT tab at the top. Click check all boot paths, it will...

    Damn Fallout 3....

    I usually play music in the background. My favorite is Red Hot Chili Peppers - Scar Tissue whenever im killing feral ghouls. Happened by accident but just seems fitting. Usually just put some songs in a playlist on shuffle. (genius on itunes works nice for this)

    Got a PS3 (blu ray player)

    I recommend getting the ps remote control. Its great for movie watching controls and its bluetooth so you dont need line of sight to use it. Anotherwards, you can be in any room of the house and hit pause or play or power and the console will respond. Also, the remote takes 2 double a batteries...

    How do I streamline Windows boot with multiple hard drives?

    try running ccleaner to clean up your registry entries. it also is very good at stopping boot processes and cleaning out your internet history.

    My gaming rig is dead

    PC Gaming DRM List

    Fyi, if you launch Fallout 3 from its exe in the bethesda/fallout3 directory it skips the cd check. the cd check is only for the splash screen, which isnt needed since all clicking play does is launch fallout3.exe and not fallout3splash.exe or whatever it is. Im just glad i dont have to keep...

Im not making the jump to 64bit till windows 7 though, from what ive seen so far it's a really exciting os. The laptop im writing this on...

    Steam and Farcry DRM'd box version

    Yes... you can. I've done it before with boxed versions. Not sure if it still works the same as it used tho though. http://i23.photobucket.com/alb...derdrache/activate.jpg

    Steam and Farcry DRM'd box version

    Just thought of something. I really like owning the boxes for games and having a tagable disc that I can install them from. This whole DRM install limit from EA is very aggravating. I use Steam and really like the way the handle the whole download your old games tied to your account. I dont plan...

    Need to save a .tar file in Vista

    7zip? I know you can read a tar file with it so i would assume it works the other way. The website says its an archiver but I have yet to use it for that.

    keep no recently viewed Documents

    Should be under task bar properties just like in pro. Not sure here since I have pro and not home. Never messed with home, to me I think home is just a clone of pro with lots of stuff removed needlessly.

    What video card for Fallout 3?

    Here's part of your answer. From: Here And here is my recommendation which is the GTX260 core 216 Card (the second revision of them with more cores). Heck, they even mention that it is no where near the sound of a Dust Buster =P. Source: Same site as above. different page.

    Iphone app to tag your mp3's

    Shazam and Midomi will tag music and tell you what it is. You have to play the song for that to happen. Shazam is faster, both work pretty well. Both are free as well.

    So right now im running itunes 7.5 with firmware 1.1.4 for my iPod.

    If you currently have 2.0 on your ipod touch then 2.1 is free, if you currently have 1.1.4 then 1.1.5 is free. Going from 1.x.x to 2.1 is the charge. I think the touch requires a bit more of a dev team then the ipod does since the ipod is fairly simple by comparison. Ipod functionality is...

    iPod 4G - Shake to change track??

    I think it also puts the ipod into shuffle mode from there on out, im also guessing it overrrides the area of the ui you were in and does a shuffle of all songs (as oppsed to only shuffling what was in your current list of playing tracks.)

    So right now im running itunes 7.5 with firmware 1.1.4 for my iPod.

    Personally, now that they've fixed most of what was wrong with the 2.0 software, id say its well worth the 9.99. You can check out all the apps available on the app store through the itunes store (left side link). there's about 3k but id say only a tenth of those are viable for the common...
