    Network Trouble with Battlefied 2142

    So I bought a copy of 2142, but can't seem to actually play. It logs into the Master Server fine, but no matter what server I try to join the games at, I always get super high latencies and "Connection Problem" error flashing on my screen, this occurs even in servers with no one else in it...

    Need to open more Ports but no more slots

    So I got this online game (BF2142) and it requires a lot of ports to be opened, I went into the linksys setup (192.168.1.1), disabled the firewall, disabled the "deny anonymous internet requests" checkbox, and started adding all the ports that need to be forwarded. Problem is I need 13 or 14...

    Can't seem to boot up with new build

    Well, I'm really perplexed at this build problem I have, I assembled my prior rigs just fine, though I'm by no means an expert, but never encountered this situation. Got the MB seated in the case, CPU + thermal grease + fan on, RAMs in matching color DC slots, GPU in one of the PCI-E slots...

    Really weird RAM problem during gaming

    Well, I pretty much only play one game, and it's Medieval II Total War. Before I had 3 Gigs of RAM, 2 x 1GB of OCZ Platinum and 1 x 512 MB of HyperX and 1x 512 MB of Corsair XMS. Everything ran great and all was well. But however when I take out the 2 512MB sticks the game doesn't seem to run...

    RAM caused crashes due to stick configurations?

    so I've got a seemingly weird problem here: running a FX-55, ECS KN1 Lite, Antec Phantom 500, 7600GT, Audigy 2. When I fill all 4 RAM slots with 2 sticks of matched 1GB OCZ Platinum and 2 x 512MB of HyperX (both PC3200) everything runs dandy. And when I run just the 2 x 512MB sticks...

    How to tell which core an AMD x2 4600 is?

    Wondering how does one do that from the specifications? They seem to have the same speed and bus numbers.... How do we tell whether one is the "windsor" or "toledo" ?? and would one really notice the difference between 1 or the other??

    GPU makers

    Ok, so while I'm searching for graphics cards I noticed that some of them are the same card but made by different companies... like XFX Nvidia 7800 vs. say BFG Tech Nvidia 7800. If all the designations like GT, GTO, or GTX or whatever they are, are the same, that means these cards are all the...

    Can't tell difference between Audigy 2 and default sound?

    so I wanted some "budget-decent" sounds for music/gaming, went ahead and picked up an Audigy 2, installed it, but I can't seem to tell the difference. Now I'm a total audionoob but am I missing on something? I know my headphones kinda suck, Sennheiser Eh150, but I should've been able to tell...

    Decent Soundcard that can take advantage but not be too much for...

    So I'm going for a second build, mainly used for gaming and music, due to the close proximity of my neighbors (live in an apartment) I have to use headphones all the time. I was going to pair it with an old EH150 Sennheiser that I had on hand, what's a decent but not too expensive sound card to...

    OpenTable Demo/Tutorial/Help file?

    Hey folks, look to get more familiarized with the OpenTable software (used ubiquitously by restaurants). Tried googling, came up w/ nothing except the maker's site, which didn't have any real info, nothing on wikipedia. So if anyone has a usable demo copy or a tutorial or even the help file...
