Holy crap insta want. Diplomacy was kinda meh, this sounds amazing.
I take it everyone complaining about the lack of woo adventures weren't much for BSG? Personally, I'm really liking this show. Except for a couple facepalm moments that are completely out of canon it has been pretty good. I was kinda tired of the way that SGA was stagnating at the end. "OHLOL WORMHOLE DRIVE" "shields are at 30%!" and all that kinda sci-fi fill in random line here cause I can't think of anything better crap was getting really old.
BS for the casual user? A Linux Distribution like Ubuntu can be easier to use than Windows (obviously once you learn it, you have to remember that everyone had to learn to use Windows too) Ever heard of package managers? Every program you need installable from a single source. BS for the casual user? You mean like completely virus/spyware free? And finally BS for casual user, like everything being complete documented, forums and wiki's everywhere to find help with any problem you generally ev
Threw together a couple screenshots, nothing fancy, just switched the theme a bit Note the widgets, specifically the one labeled Desktop Folder, this widget can be used pretty much exactly like Fences, and even allows the ability to browse through folders without clicking a thing. <img src="http://img188.imageshack.us/img1
When I want a decent workspace, I use Linux, when I want to game I use Windows. Linux: Multiple Desktops, native theming for most Desktop Environments, tons of Desktop Environments to choose from with plenty of ways to customize the layout for most of them. You laugh at open-source, yet you only look at open-source on Windows. Linux offers a great deal of customization for your workspace, and it's free. For those that do not game, it is by far a better choice.
This is a bug with the Windows 7 RC, as someone who has the final, I can confirm it is fixed.
Intel graphics cards are horrible.
If I used Windows as my normal desktop I would buy this, however a lot of the features found in object desktop are found standard on linux, which is what I use when I don't game.
We're sure there will be a window in which paypal can be used right?
This is not new, and you asked for karma. Fail.
[quote who="Fuzzy Logic" reply="15" id="2307703"]Anyone running a i7 should not consider less than 1000W, especially if you add on a GTX-285 or GTX-295.[/quote] Tell that to my friend running a core i7 920 with a gtx295 comfortably with a 600W PSU.
[quote who="Martok" reply="22" id="2307653"] Nor will it ever be, I'm sure, since Creative Assembly & Sega went to the dark side (i.e., Steam). While I would love it if I turn out to be wrong, I strongly doubt we'll ever see any TW games sold through Impulse. [/quote] Erm, there are plenty of games that are on both Steam and Impulse, so your logic is kinda flawed here
AMD currently only has one 40nm card out, and it's a midrange card. They have GDDR5 but a smaller bus size to keep costs down. They're profitable, and they aren't winning in performance, but Nvidia has -one- card up on them. It's not that big a deal. The fact that nvidia can't even get their own midrange 40nm/dx10.1 cards out is proof that their design isn't very scalable, while ATI is having no problems. Oh, let's also get to mentioning. Sure, Nvidia is indeed the performance king, b
Woah really, the 4770 was over $300 AUD 0.o woah.
@themadmanazn you obviously have no idea what you're talking about. ATI competes fine with nvidia? Nvidia has the best card on the market right now, but the 4870x2 is $150 cheaper for a not very noticable difference. Crossfire works better then SLI (you can crossfire different cards, you can't with SLI.. and it seems to scale better as well, see: 4870 crossfire vs gtx 285 SLI) Especially since the 48xx series, AMD has had far, far better price/performance then Nvidia. It's a joke, Nvi
@themadmanazn Umm, the Phenom II 940 beats the q9400 at most tasks, while the 955 beats the q9550. Yes, they can't compete with core i7, but very, very few people need the power offered by it.
So your processor cost almost as much as my entire rig with monitor, annd.. you -may- see a difference of 7-10fps in games. Phenom II x4 940 BE @ 3.4Ghz ATI Radeon HD 4870 512mb make up the most important parts, the graphics card is -very- slightly slower, the processor is somewhat slower due to lack of hyperthreading but you won't see most of that in games.
There's never been a reason to buy this if you know the slightest thing about overclocking, just buy the 920 if you need to. Personally though, I'm an AMD guy. My Phenom II is amazing for the price.
