Normally I'd jump all over that, but a replacement card isn't cheap

True and you have to get it from EBay.. Prices all over the place and all used or being offered for parts.
DELL DG008 256MB Laptop Video Card Nvidia GeForce Go 7900 E1705/M1710

Little Brother you get a card and you have yourself a laptop. Let me know what you decide.

Pretty Quick System! Now do I keep Norton's and uninstall when time to renew? Got most of the crap already off but still tweaking..

My $10 Logitech mouse started misbehaving a few weeks ago. Started double-clicking when I single clicked, or not clicking at all.

Sooooo I ordered the G9X off of Newegg. I haven't had a ton of time to play with it... but I can already tell it's an awesome mouse. Good build quality and enough features for me.

Oh god...Boney is only going to get better with his new toy. There goes the neighborhood!!!

TAZTG · 17th Jul 2012, 04:43 PM

I really love the G5 Laser Mouse. Seems to fit the hand pretty good.

Devastator · 17th Jul 2012, 06:41 PM

Been pretty satisfied with the G9. Don't remember how long I've had it but it's still going strong

Devastator · 2nd Aug 2012, 06:55 PM

Well, I'm almost ready for GW2

Got a new monitor and got a new vid card on its way

OK, drop some specs on us.

Devastator · 2nd Aug 2012, 07:32 PM

Monitor: Asus P248Q
Vid Card: EVGA GTX 670 FTW

Monitor is not the fastest in terms of refresh rate and response time but the colors are amazing.

Vid Card from what I read is a beast when it comes to graphics and physics. Hopefully will run as long and as well as my 8800 GTS 512 did

Bonecrusher · 4th Aug 2012, 01:25 PM

I still haven't found a need to replace my 295. Other than the fact that most games I have to turn off the dual GPUs... still runs fine.

Morty · 4th Aug 2012, 05:52 PM

Well..I got a new Apple laptop from work that might fit the bill as long as I'm employed. Worst case I can "thin out" my gaming system and see what happens. Once the school crap is done maybe get GW2. Played TF2 with the kids last night and WOW...everything was super fast. I'm encouraged.

Bonecrusher · 5th Aug 2012, 02:21 PM

Aaron just got a new Mac book, supposedly it runs GW2 pretty nicely.

What happened to the GTX 460?

Devastator · 6th Aug 2012, 05:42 PM

Getting turned into a PPU

Just discovered info about the Home Use Program from Microsoft.

Bonecrusher · 14th Aug 2012, 11:00 AM

We receive a similar deal through work. Great value. Every computer should have the Office suite on it.

Iceburgs · 28th Aug 2012, 09:13 PM

Can anyone recommend an inexpensive joystick that works with Steam? My old joysticks get all screwy with one of the axes on the analog sticks.

Devastator · 28th Aug 2012, 09:20 PM

Joy stick or controller? For a controller go with teh Xbox 360 one. Works great.
