Your mileage may vary...

XP can't do DirectX10, for one thing.

If you run a decent rig, you certainly won't feel a difference.

Search 4.0 is already out, and available for XP too.

If anyone cares.

So get an LCD, It has a pixel update rate not a frequency draw rate.

Pwned.

Mr Watson is right. If you live in a 1st world society and don't play video games as a kid, then you are kind of weird going into the next decade...

It's the reverse of the '80's and '90's.

The copy protection was a pain, but wow this is an awesome game...

Forget the all the bitching. GTA IV is worth playing.

if anybody bans me from playing a game i legally purchased i will sue them.

Oh, lol?

Come to me then.

Personally I'd just download a crack, but whatever floats the client's boat...

Put it this way...

I'm currently running Firefox 3 with seven tabs open, Winamp and uTorrent.

It's using 1.6GB of RAM.

Good thing I have 4GB.

You'd think Tidemedia could be bothered to put a notification up on their website somewhere...

It is reported he was also angry that his parents could not afford to but him a copy and spent his allowance on two knives

Ah, he didn't even own the game.

Windows Vista Adventures...

Ubisoft have "pirated" RELOADED's no-CD crack for RS: Vegas 2, and distributed it as part of customer support for people ignorant enough to buy the Direct2Drive version. Link It's not that D2D is a bad idea, but DRM ruins it. Anyway, at least the "pirates' give credit to the game's de...

ROFL

Windoze.

That's the worst I've ever seen UAC do. Turn the rubbish off.

Wait to see what Prophecy.co.za want to charge for it.

Sybaritic's prices can be a bit funny sometimes.

Benedict IX



(I don't remember copying that.)

Just get Openoffice ffs. I'm annoyed when people keep suggesting Windows users switch to Linux... You know. As if that were any easier than a car-driver switching to hang-gliding. But Openoffice actually WORKS. You can always just get a goddam crack if you're desperate to use MS Office for some reas...

Your h4x aren't as l33t as mine, dude.

I've never had any trouble.

Waiting for the HD4870 myself. Some obscure online places are listing them for under R3500... But I think I'll wait for reputable retailers to get them in stock.

Empire is actually gonna be pretty similar to its four predecessors.

The map is bigger, and now you can command naval battles.

(Won't catch me complaining. I can't wait.)

The strategic aspect of Total War is similar to Europa Universalis, but that isn't exactly a blockbuster, I guess...

Note the AA scores, the other ones dont really count, cause who ACTUALLY plays without AA on?...

I turned it off in Crysis. :p

Silly gimmick that third-party apps could do years ago.

It probably makes a shiny new PC look awesome in a shop window, but for actual day-to-day use... It just sucks RAM and CPU needlessly.

Opera does render faster and is lighter...

Does anyone know of a way to get RSS feeds to act like menus like they do in Firefox? The fully-fledged RSS reader is a bit clunky if someone only wants to read the headlines.

I installed Opera 9.5, and I must admit that it is pretty sweet... I immediately went to find Firefox extensions which copy all the cool Opera features like mouse gestures and speed dial... :p Nah, seriously... I'd use Opera, but there are one or two things I prefer about Firefox... Namely that it c...

Looks depressing...

But then I guess that cancels out the plethora of colourful acid-trip Wii games.

TF2 knockoff. Bleh.

FREE TF2 knockoff.

Excel, Word, Office stuff: Probably Quad Core? Lol, dude. You must type really fast. I've got an old Celeron 900Mhz lying around that you can use for Office. I'd say go with the dual-core. By the time applications effectively make use of more than two threads, that 2.4Ghz processor will be old and ...

Unless you're really into the few PS3 exclusives that are still around, get a 360.

Or save up a wee bit more and get a decent rig. Honesty, PC games are half the price of console games in this country. You'll probably save money in the long run.
