    Need a new router and AP

    Hi. My parents need a new wireless solution for an old house. Right now we are using 2 routers connected by powerline bricks, and the problem is that if you're on one network, you cannot see or use printers or whatever from the other network. Either the internet is terrible, or the routers are...

    Ok, so there's this game, EvE Online. I cannot get AA to work with it, it does not support AA/AF ingame, and telling catalyst to support it doesn't do any good.

    Maple Story is the MOST addicting game ever

    I have been playing this game for a month, and I am so addicted. For those to whom this is a new game, it is a free 2d game, and my best description of it is that it is kind of like Super Mario Bros. morphed into an RPG, keeping the best elements of both. The result is that it is an...

    I accidentally bought a 7800GTX on eBay

    I didn't mean to buy this 7800GTX, but I did for $300. Will this card hold its value decently well, and more importantly, will it give good performance for $300?

    7900GT vs. 7800GTX

    I am thinking about upgrading, and was wondering which will be the better card for future games. Most people say that they are equal, but does the 7900GT have any special stuff that the 7800GTX doesn't?
