    Fresh basic Vista 64 install

    The only thing I can think of is you might have a huge page file, ~12GB worth.

    PC Format: No way to discover my Graphics Card.

    When I was using the default driver even slight scrolling through a web page was extremely laggy. It was definitely slide show status. I don't think it would even let me use 32-bit color. Maybe he's having the same issues. The only thing I can even recommend is $20 on a different video card, or...

    PC Format: No way to discover my Graphics Card.

    For what it's worth, about a month ago I tried using a PCI TNT2 M64 recently for a temporary replacement in a windows XP machine (the PCI-E video card died) and I had the same exact issue of "This software is not for use on your system/cannot find the correct hardware" I searched the...

    dead for now: possible 7600GS (7300GT?) 128MB $37.25 shipped

    Just received mine today and working well so far. Mine also arrived with a fan and small copper heatsink unlike the fanless model pictured. ATI Tool reports 12 pipes, 5 vertex, and default speed is 500/1000 in 3d mode. According to nTune temps were around 65C after I played a ~30 minute game...

    512 MB MP3 player $4.99 shipped w/google checkout

    I purchased one of these for $4.99 about two weeks ago. Buy.com claims it shipped via FedEx, but the tracking number supplied hasn't worked since I received the email a few days after purchase. I probably was jacked for $4.99, but whatever, just a heads up to anyone considering this. EDIT...

    Going crazy - need to remove stuff from a PDF document

    Adobe Photoshop will work, but is rather expensive if you don't already own it. If you just want to get the images and you want them quickly, you could always just take a snapshot of your desktop with prnt scrn key and paste that into mspaint and crop whatever you want out of that. You should be...

    Bioshock PC $44.99 shipped free.

    I did purchase Bioshock through Steam. I checked with all those "unofficial" steps above and see no sign of SecuROM on my system. Is there any other ways to know for sure? I had no idea about this crap either. EDIT: Nevermind, just found CURRENT_USER\Software\SecuROM... GG.

    Similar games to Age of Empires II

    Command & Conquer, Civilization I or II, Warcraft II (?) all I can think of for not to intensive. Others that came to mind but didn't meet the requirements are Age of Mythology, Empire Earth II, and Warcraft III. Has to be more, but I just can't think of them. A Google search could help if...

    Need help on which to buy AMD/Intel

    Thanks bob4432! I was referring to the CPU only. English class? What the hell... I guess if that was directed at me, ease up a little pal. Life is short.

    Need help on which to buy AMD/Intel

    designit, 1. CPU Architectures are important. 2. Good job on harassing the readers! Nobody is making you do anything, if you don't like the opinions of the community go to various review sites and create your own. Go ahead, if you really want to buy an Intel do it. The best bang for...
