In your title you stated a game that will blow you away.
Braid's fiendish design and praised "last level" did indeed blow me away. It had very original gameplay, different clever takes of manipulation on time in a platformer. But beyond gameplay, it's a very thought provoking title compared to...
UPDATE:
I love this chip, haven't tried reducing vcore significantly but right now after getting cooler, maxing out at 55 degrees load at 4050mhz, 1.232V(cpu-z). So happy with this chip and will see how far i can push it in the coming days, (though i can see the limiting factor perhaps being my...
THIS is the processor to buy.
Waiting for my aftermarket HSF at the moment and was just running at clock speeds with a 4870 512mb. Just got COD: World at War and wasn't happy with the fps so thought stuff it. Changed fsb to 400mhz and is running at 1.2v (1.168 with vdroop) stable and at 45...
Just had a new build- E8400, EP45-DS3L and 4870 512mb. Haven't got my HSF yet and it ran Fallout 3 Ultra high and AA, with no hiccups at stock speeds and just inbuilt conservative ATI overclock. It didn't struggle pulling textures at all and I'm convinced 512mb for graphics card will be...
Well i built today and happily bought 2x2g of 800mhz RAM and am currently on the search for a great HSF for cpu to keep my e8400 healthy at a hopeful 4ghz:P
Thanks for all the input guys.
An answer to any of these questions would be very much appreciated and thanks in advance.:)
Just wandering if i pickup a P5q pro will it be compatible regardless of BIOS version with an E0 stepped E8500? The only information regarding E0 in the BIOs history updates is:

I can imagine all the typical rts recommended-starcraft, supreme commander, c&c's, warcraft etc.
But one of the most overlooked RTS games I've ever played is Sins of a Solar Empire. IMO Some really great gameplay thats original and innovative in terms of RTS. Be sure to check out some...
It's so frustrating, I wish I could easily get my hands on DDR2-1000, but most outlets i Australie just go from 800 to 1066, and 1066 is significantly more expensive, so might setlle for 800mhz quality RAM and just OC it a bit with my E8400, though would like to get the magical 4ghz stable:P
Bit of a newbie to this but here goes
If I buy a GA-EP45-DS3 and install an E0 stepped WOlfdale E8400 on it, will it support it and post regardless of BIOS version?
I ask this because the F6 version BIOS says "Update CPU ID (Support Intel Wolfdale/Yorkfield E0-stepping CPU)"
1. Does that mean...

Thanks for the in depth analysis:P
But seriously, if you can sugest an IPS or VA panel that is clear cut above the vw222u for gaming at a similar price, I'm all ears.
Monitor searching at the moment and have settled on the VW222U for my 22 inch monitor.
Though in my search I have come across what seems to be an updated VW222U, the VW224U. The only difference I've noticed is the claimed contrast ratio has increased from 2000:1 to 5000:1.
I have read many...
Thanks so much for the input, I really appreciate it and have been convinced to save on an E7 and a 512 4870.
I'll definitely have to check out other suppliers to check out the Freezer 7and the PSU's.
Thanks again and I'll be sure to post an update when it's all built in a few weeks:P.
Well I can say you're good at picking a noob when you see one:). Thanks for the link to the podcasts, looks to be ahead of all the other junk out there and nice link for your "fix" hehe.
Well I mainly started looking for advice all ofer the web on general computer hardware and OC'ing. I narrowed down to tomshardware and Anandtech. I chose Anandtech due to the wide variety of in-depth articles it publishes and the what I've seen as a friendly and helpful community.
Thanks for...
Overview
I am primarily going to use my PC for gaming and watching TV/Movies, though primarily gaming. Though require large hard drive for music collection. I plan on playing on a 22 inch at 1680x1050 res. Also a TV card to plug in console(xbox/ps2) via AV cable.
I live in Australia so the...
