aww dang, okay thanks

I really don't know how this am3+ thing works but I've heard that other am3 motherboards support am3+ processors with a bios update. I have a gigabyte M68MT-S2P motherboard and am wondering if it would support an fx-4100? Also would I need a bios update? Here's a link to my motherboard

So I'm using my LG 42LG70 42" tv as my monitor and before I had it set to 1600 x 1200 and everything looks great. But everytime I try and change my resolution to 1920 x 1080 the quality is horrible. The colors are off, its waay to bright at times, whites hurt my eyes and everything is pretty blurry. Videos are also pretty bad as they are really dark or the color saturation is off as well. I have an HD 6850 video card and have played around with every single option on catalyst control center and it still is very off. The only way to get my desktop running and looking crisp is to set my resolution back to 1600 x 1200. Anyone have any ideas how I can get things to look as crisp as when it's at 1600 x 1200? Oo and my games run fantastically so this is only a problem when I'm on my desktop

Okay thanks. Great gonna save me a bunch on my HTPC

I know, wierd question but when my motherboard before died on me before I pretty much upgraded everything and stored all my old components away. I just found them again and was thinking of using the cpu and ram to make an HTPC. They've been sitting on my old broken motherboard in the garage for about a year now and I was wondering if they would still be good. Don't want to start buying parts and find out those components aren't good anymore

Yeah it only happens on my pc because when I don't have connection my router is still good and I can still access the internet on my laptop so I know it's something wrong with my wireless adapter

One of PC gamings staples is the MMO genre, but it's already been out done by the MMO game Chaos and Order for Iphone 4.
iPhone does MMO's better than PC's because

Pros:
Portable to play
Cheaper than WoW, and building a $3000 PC, that all these PC owners build every 6 months
Casual gaming without the stress compared to other games(like wow,sc2)
Graphics, gameplay and sound are better than wow
Better controls, the touch GUI is more accurate than a kbm

One of the let downs i suppose, if your a pro gamer, you can't really enter competitions, but thats not really a downside.

I personally dont have enough time to game, due to college and other activities, but when i do game its mainly on my iPhone, and my Mac (running windows, for 2 games which are COD and BF), so playing an MMO, for a cheap price is great, i get to experience it, during my train ride to college, and during breaks, hell even when the professor is boring, i can easily bring out my iphone 4 and play and connect with people from all accross the country, at any time, something you can not do on a PC.

Did you just say you game on a mac, but running windows???

No my pc is in my room about two rooms away from my router which is an att uverse router. At first I thought it was because of where my room was that was causing my computer to randomly have no internet connection works fine in my room and never disconnects. Oo and when this happens on my pc it doesnt disconnect from the network, its always connected to the network but when my internet stop working it just says I cant connect to the internet

So I have an asus pce-n15 pci express n adapter already but it is horrible and I keep having my signal drop and disconnect randomly all the time. So I am looking to replace it but I am wondering if I should get another brand pci one or a usb adapter? What are the advantages and drawbacks of each one? Reliability would be very important for me as my current adapter is not reliable at all

blah okay just did. I'll just head over to fry's. They have a xfx 6850 for $125 after rebates. That's a pretty good deal right?

If the starting price is $150 or less, yes that is a great deal. If you are going to spend more than $150, get the GTX 460 1GB, if more than $165, get the 6870. Good luck.

okay thanks
