everyone says its expensive, what prices are you thinking of? I've seen ads for like £400 an eye, so itd be £800 for me. For something as important as eyesight that doesn't really seem that much, especially considering the price of new lenses and glasses. If you added up all you're ever going to spend on glasses and…
There is some good advice in this thread! AGP is dead, all the old Intel/AMD sockets are dead, DDR is dead, so just wait until you have the money to get a decent AM2 or Socket 775 mobo and a decent intel/amd proc. DDR2 RAM is actually significantly cheaper anyway, so you will save some money there. Whenever the newest…
Hahaha! Admission to the show is only 1200 yen?? That's like 10 bucks. So all that it'd really cost me is the plane flight. I wouldn't even mind sleeping in a mailbox. I'll have to look into this more though. Since I'm not going to be going anywhere for the xmas holiday (wife has to work), I'm not dropping down $800 for…
I recently bought a gtx285 for a system i builded in the past october, and the whole gig does not surpass the 1000 euro. You don't need to waste too much money in a computer, they became obsolete very fast. This is less than 1000 euro in spain with a top videogame card, and installing some expensive components to do…
Even then, you're still pushing better than PlayStation 1 or NDS specs on the widest end. If you wanted to, you could shoot for a slightly narrower demographic and try for sub-PS2 quality graphics running at say, 800x450 and just be smart about managing what's going on visually. You'd still have a sweet looking game with…
Eric: Are my thumbnails better now? Right now I have 6 fixed ones... I'm working on the others. I've been going through and resaving my images. I have a lot of "long" images on my site because they show the conceptual process, so they are up around 800KB. I believe that should only take you 3-4 seconds for the entire…
You should look into software that will let you "tune" your cpu/case fan settings. I have a couple asus based systems here, and they come with some apps that let you use a couple pre-set settings for fan speed. Asus AI Suite is what it is. If you cant find anything like that, or that doesnt help, a pretty quick way to…
Yeah, please change that avatar image as soon as possible. 2mb for an 80x80 pixel image is just ridiculous, and I don't take kindly to them around here. Keep it below 50k if possible, less is preferred. I'll answer your question as soon as you sort that out, thanks.
