Feeling Particularly Stimulated
Yeah, I read about that.. I don't really count it because it actually reaches temperatures above 100 degrees Celsius under load! That must seriously shorten the life span of the board and the chip. I feel it's a broken construction, but hey, it works out of the box. Source: http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=3165&p=4

So are you going to buy Mass Effect PC ?
I just thought this was funny since we discussed it just ONE DAY before the article appeared! Tom's Hardware tests the Radeon 3850 512MB on a single core CPU: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/ati-ag...0-agp,1939.html It does very well!

Oh yeah, especially in the last half of the game, huh? BS. And why bother? Just max out the Jade Golem and trample everything in sight. No need for dialogue trees.

Chosen one have pip-boy, Michael have iphone
Personally I think the phone idea is excellent. It's a great way of incorporating an interface into a game without removing the player from said game. You can show missions (as text messages), you can show maps, you can let the player take photos, record audio/video, talk to NPC's, etc., all from one single gadget. You can have easter eggs (find a phone number in an obscure newspaper, call it for some unforeseen effects), prank calls, mini games (Snake!), whatever you want. I love the idea.

The only reason to choose ATI over Nvidia as it stands today is that the 3870 exist in a silent version (without fans). Which is pretty cool.

Eurogamer reviews Mass Effect PC: http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?artic...3303&page=1 8/10. Not too shabby.

You do not need a new motherboard if you're just going to upgrade the parts I suggested. Buying a new motherboard = buying a totally new computer and that's when the prices escalate. The fastest CPU available for the Socket 478 is an Intel 3.4E GHz Springdale processor. It can easily be found on various auction sites. In Sweden you'd find it here: http://www.tradera.com/Intel_Pentium_p4_Pr...uktion-65046853 Just look for it on the popular sites in Denmark, if you're interested. I am absolutely sure you can find it at a decent price. Yeah, the CPU is replaceable but I don't know if I'd recommend someone to do that unless you know what you're doing. You need to remove the CPU fan first, remove the old CPU, replace it with the new CPU, add thermal paste and replace the fan carefully. It's the thermal paste that usually stumps people because if you put too little, your computer may lock up. If you put too much.. your computer may lock up. Switching the GPU and the RAM is like building Lego. Just make sure you touch a radiator and throw out the cat before you start tinkering inside your computer case. And YES, you could just buy the RAM and the Sapphire and still get a good boost for your system. It's just that since I don't know what CPU you have right now, it could potentially be a serious bottleneck.

God, I'm getting annoyed with the NASN commentators. They whine and whine and whine on Malkin and his performance.. But they don't mention the CAPTAIN of the same team, who is equally invisible and smothered, AND is playing on the first line with the best wingers the Penguins have! I know Crosby is the future of the NHL and Penguins franchise player, but still.. GEEZ! Yeah, Malkin is Russian and Crosby is Canadian, but the bias is disgusting.

Zombie survival
Location: First floor, two exits, lots of windows. But I sleep like a log Dead meat. Food: I have a can of moose meat and a lot of booze. Dead (but adequately drunk) meat. Weapons: I have an aluminium bat! And a hockey stick! No guns though. My father is much better off in that regard. 3/10.

My computer (5 years this August) only has an AGP slot... You know, this actually doesn't have to be as bad a limitation as it sounds. There's the Sapphire Radeon HD 3850 512 MB GDDR3 RAM: http://www.komplett.dk/k/ki.aspx?sku=346359 Then there's 2 GB Corsair Value DDR RAM: http://www.komplett.dk/k/ki.aspx?sku=309659 And it's easy to find and buy the last (and hopefully fastest) CPU for your CPU slot on any online second sales site (I have no idea what you use in Denmark) cheap. --- The graphics card linked above is a real beast (perfectly capable of running ANY game out there, yes even Crysis) but if your AGP port doesn't support 8xAGP, then don't bother. Even at 8x speed it probably limits the card some (noone knows for sure). Otherwise it's a very cheap way of making sure your computer lasts another 2-3 years. Probably below 2000 DK for the whole kit.

POST YOUR SPECS
The only thing we can tell from that info is that you're wasting one GB of RAM.

I chose the "pirate the game" option because it was there. I have no clue as to how I will react once the game finally reaches the stores. Will my starvation for a new RPG overcome my unwillingness to bend over to their DRM schemes? I don't know.

Great game by the Red Wings! Apparently their puck possession game was a bit stronger than Pittsburgh's game. Three Swedish goals too :D

That was one of the dumbest disallowed goals I've ever seen. Holmstr

Oh no, I don't even remember writing that. Twin the same age as her?! How the hell else would they be twins? To my defence, I lost a game that involved drinking a lot of pear vodka. And I'm going to meet these girls again tonight to watch the Eurovision contest.. So awkward.
