Prince of Persia - One of the best games I've played this year.
Wolfenstein - Near the end. Decent game.

Watched Mr. Brooks last night and the undeniable star, Mr. Brooks, acts out quite the performance. Appearing as a stoic character seemingly disinterested in his luscious lifestyle, he quickly peels back the veneer to reveal an alter ego of sorts that craves the rush of murder. The manner and sophist...

For the past few weeks, anime watching has been quite sporadic with the odd episode here and there. Nothing really caught my attention. Kurenai, Zoku Natsume Youjinchou, Birdy Decode, and a few others. I then started Sekirei and initially it was this all too familiar sigh. Rich formula, poor executi...

Wow. Dizzying amounts of anime right there.

The last good show that I've seen was Casshern's Sin. They took a good formula (amnesiac protagonist tale) and reverse engineered it to output something familiar yet new. Characters were bland as cream though.

@VQ - Scary post.

Very interesting. A marathon when the finale is released seems to be in order.

I've read elsewhere that the local pricing on the slim will be around R3800.

huh? think you misunderstood. we were actually part of the 1st drive and we managed it quite well. we are simply stating that due to certain PCF members' feelings towards anime and relation to piracy, we decided to rather stop it and if some1 wanted something we would rather go the private route in...

Great!

Two points of advice.

- Keep it off PCF. Amongst other factors, you can play by your rules.
- Keep it as an invite only group. Rather have a few trustworthy and worthwhile members, whether they are givers or takers, than basket of egotistic farts.

Just a quick update.

I bought the above mentioned board, and, it works as well as I had expected it to. Excellent!

Thanks to all of you, especially Prime and Urban, for the much appreciated help!

Compared to V above, III wasn't much of a stunner. Quite nicely done, but, it fit's the bill better as a prelude of better things to come.

Downloading 3 now.

Watched SAW IV. Graphic and gory, and while these are usually surefire turn off's for me, the playing of chess with people as pawns is thrilling. Have got my eyes peeled for SAW V. On the anime side of things, I completed Kurozuka and it was appalling. I was poised to believe that it was a mini Bloo...

Googled the G31M-ES2C and it seems like a quality board. Just one thing that I don't quite understand: ...as well on the Ethernet port, since other value motherboards have a Gigabit Ethernet port and G31M-ES2C has just a 10/100 Ethernet port... This won't drastically affect my broadband connection? ...

What!? Where!?

Definitely unhealthy reviews there. Will have to see for how much I can get that gigabyte board you suggested.

Slightly above my budget, but, how about this board: Asus P5KPL-AM SE

Put in the old CPU, update the BIOS and then put in the new CPU. I did that. Tried it with all the available BIOS revisions. When I put in the new CPU nothing comes up on the screen. The PC switches on and the CPU fan spins but nothing else. @Urban, I think you're right. The e5200 is a 45nm chip an...

Damn. I've got a problem. I bought the e5200 and gleefully put the chip in. Hit the power button and nothing comes on screen. Put in the old chip and googled for awhile, and, I found out that I have to upgrade my bios. I did that with the latest bios here and still nothing. Any help? Please. This th...

Thanks again. You've been a real help.

Off to order the chip.

Perfect. Thanks my good man.

So the chip I'm getting will serve my ends, no?

I've got Win XP and Win 7.

And the wear and tear resulting from overclocking? Remember that I don't ordinarily use my PC for gaming, so overclocking is merely a 'more-bang-for-your-buck' procedure and not a top priority.

Here's the board that I have.

I'm getting the card from a buddy. I just need a pc that efficiently runs HD media and web browsing.

Hey there guys. I'd like some advice for a budget upgrade. This is my current setup: - Celeron 1.8 Ghz - 1GB RAM - GeForce 6200 - 23" LCD My primary use for the pc is as a media centre and for web browsing. And, my current setup struggles with playing anything 720P and above. In deep need of an...
