my friend just made 400 bucks just from selling two items on the RMAH with each being 200$. The items are... :
1. a 1400 DPS X-bow
2. and a 900 dps handbow with 1k life on hit and a socket.
I was actually very surprised that these were sold within the whim of the RMAH implementation and even more surprised about how absurd it is that there are some people that are desperate enough to spend that much money.
Aside from my dumbfounding reaction, I am actually amazed that he managed to make 400 bucks just from abusing siege breaker within a day. Anybody else made major bank from the RMAH?

The graphics are okay. I actually find it an interesting take in the artstyle where it's dark yet still vibrant with the introduction of different colors. I always thought that Diablo 2 was a little too bland in color and that the 'gothic' look was practically universal in the whole game. I suppose it's also easy on the more low-end and mid ranged computers so that most people can play it.

And seriously... a card around 200 bucks is cheap? c'mon...

I'm not sure how to measure my computer under full load, but when I'm playing a game (Starcraft 2 for example) I see about an 8 - 10 C decrease. From 70 C to 60 C.

It's an improvement, but I was hoping for more since I upgraded from a stock cooler.

Hey guys, just a novice computer user here.
I just recently bought a cooler master Hyper N 520 to cool my i7 920 and had quite a difficulty installing. I managed to put it on my CPU and got it running (Unfortunately I had to plug in the 3 pin connector to the Mobo's 4 pin, but it still works!). When I was checking my CPU temp, I see a decrease, but not as significant as those I read in reviews. It went down by 10ish C. Originally it was 48 C average (idling) now 40 C. I'm not getting the results I expected, am I doing something wrong? Thanks, I will provide additional information if needed.

Hey guys! I'm wondering what's considered a safe CPU temperature. I slightly OC'ed my i7 920 to 2.96 GHZ and right now the temperatures idling is 50 c and mid 60s on full load. Will I have any issues with the current temperatures?

One thing I didn't ask before... What card does it currently have?FelipeInside


It's an integrated graphic card. Mobile Intel(R) 4 series to be exact.

So from what I'm hearing so far is that it's very unlikely that I will be installing a graphic card. What would be the best solution for me in order to play the desired games?

Hello guys, haven't used the forums for a while.

I've been thinking about having a graphic card installed into my computer so I can improve it's gaming capabilities. However, I heard it's rather difficult to install one because graphic cards are usually built within the notebook. I also heard that I can hand my laptop over to the manufacturers so they can install it for me, like an upgrade. I'm hoping to play games such as Star Craft 2 and Heroes of Newerth with smooth frame rates and with decent graphical display. Is it possible to get a graphic card installed into my notebook? If so, what kind of graphic card would you recommend for a reasonable price ( I consider 80 $ - 100 $ reasonable ) and would it be worth upgrading?

My computer specs are: 2.10 GHz and 4 GB of ram.

yeah so I was taking the finals and I studied fairly well, but it wasn't enough. I bomb my finals and I know it. When I was walking out of the class, my teacher asked
"So Thomas, how was your final?"
"I... failed it"
"Oh! well, uh... at least its over"

............... the least she can say after what happenned.
