Star Wars: The Famous Legacy
[hide=Hide Hide Hide Hide Hide!] Yes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sv_ZHBkkBGY (If the video does not appear, clicky or even better Clickeh). (Also, I do think I made a mistake with the video, so someone please, can't figure it out at the moment :P If I did it correctly, then awesome hehe) The CGI/animation work is terrible. Compared to Advent Children, this looks pretty bad lol--You'd think a Star Wars movie, especially since it's a large franchise, would try to make an Advent Children CGI look. Too advanced? Alas, I think they wanted to make it more like the original 2-D, but in 3-D. Oh well, I suppose. [/hide] Blargh. I saw the trailer and some photos, what have they smoked?!! And i who thought SW1 (chrono) was bad... This... I don't know, seems like they are only targeting 12 year olds with this movie. I'll maybe rent it when it comes out on dvd, but not going to cinema to see it.

Internet Explorer or Firefox
Usually IE is a bit more resource-hungry than FF. But i always run IE when playing RS, i don't know how to put it but it has an "active java window"... On FF or Opera i have to click a couple of times in-game before i can write, with IE i can write as soon as a switch to that window (i'm usually surfing or doing other stuff at the same time). Actually, i have quite many problems with FF3, it keeps crashing every now and then.. But i don't run it so often so doesn't matter.

"VirtuMonde" Adware/Virus problem
Start up in safe-mode and check if it works to get on another site. If that doesn't work: Take a usb memory, plug it into another computer and download Spybot Search&Destroy and Ad-Aware (you might want to download an AV like - Avira/Avast/AVG too), transfer to the usb. Plug the usb into the infected computer, install the programs, update and run scans. Attention - If you have a cheap memory or something on 256/512 - use that. Because if you can't get rid of it, the virus will most likely transfer itself to the USB - plugging it into another computer will infect it. So be vary of this suggestion.

Need help taking a full screen screenshot of Runescape
Hm, you could try downloading a beta-driver or an older driver and see if this helps. You could also try the following, but i'm not sure it will help you: http://www.nhancer.com http://www.nhancer.com/?dat=d_start Another settings manual is this (but for another game, but might try it...) Argh.. Swf was not allowed, so i cannot post the link.

Grand Theft Auto IV Thread!
Usually it comes out 6 months later so i'll be expecting it in October/November. I hope its not a year, I can't wait that long :( Also Oldjoe, have you played Vice City or San Andreas? If not you've missed out heaps. I've played a couple of GTA3 games before on PS2 at a friends house, but never really got into them. GTA4 seems really neat... I'd really like to play it, but i'm buying a PS3 just for one game lol. The computer is enough for me =)

Games you'll be buying this year?
AC2?! Z0mg! I haven't heard about a second, but to me, september sounds too soon... I mean, if they'd be making it then there should be some more info about it. But a second game should come, perhaps late this year or next year? I love Assassins Creed.. Too bad i finished the whole game in 2-3 days lol. If GTA4 somehow magically shows up for pc i'll buy it, but i'm not too confident. Otherwise i only planned to buy DB3. Test Drive should come to me next week, altho it's from last year, it's really nice. Not much games tho... I don't see much interesting, could someone recommend a good strategy game that will come out? (i already have SC&FA which i've finished).

How much sleep do you get a night?
I have a quite unregular sleep currently... well been like this for a couple of months now. Waking up at 11-12 (day) and going to bed at 06.00 (morning). Atm it's 07.15 here, so i should go to sleep. Healthy is the word.

The New Runescape - Glitches in H-D!
Verac's skirt+Fletching cape is not a nice sight lol. There's a big hole in it and people who i've passed by has said "dude, you got a hole in your cape".. lol. There should be some update in a while to fix these bugs, otherwise it's quite pleasant. But i'm still not playing alot, despite the the new detail. Why... Why couldn't Assassins Creed been longer?!?! Finished it in two days.. bah.

Star Wars: The Famous Legacy
I can't count how many times i've seen the movies =) My favorite episode: Return of the Jedi. Favorite Scene: I don't know... Seriously, there are so many good scenes. If i have to pick...: When Palpatine is almost killing Luke (Return of...) and Vader decides to rescue his son. Favorite Jedi: Yoda! The speedy green. Another one i like is Plo Koon (spelling?). Favorite Sith lord: Darth Vader. I really liked Revenge of the Sith, it is a pretty dark movie. Btw... She who played Leia in the originals, she was damn hot in the Return of the Jedi.

Need help taking a full screen screenshot of Runescape
My first two suggestions are: Download the latest driver from Nvidia here: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us And when choosing graphics details before logging in, turn off AA. If that doesn't work: I currently don't have my computer with an Nvidia card here (getting it back next week), i don't remember how exactly it looks in the Nvidia setting, but it should be similar to the ATI: Right-click the Nvidia icon on your taskbar, 8800gts (or if it says "3d settings" when you right click), 3d settings - Anti-Aliasing, Application managed/off. If that doesn't work, open the Nvidia control panel. Go to "global settings" and somewhere there you should be able to turn off Anti-Aliasing completely. (sorry for the poor explanation, i don't remember the exact directions in the Nvidia control panel) I know some people has had trouble taking screenshots with AA on, on UT04. I know it isn't a problem for every game, but it's worth a try.

Laptop Upgrade Question
Both^^ But since it's Vista i'd go with the extra RAM.

What graphics card can i use?
What's your: Budget Power Supply Unit And what do you plan on using card-x for? Games, new/old? And what's your current computer configuration?

More than 1 Graphics Card?
[hide=] Nope, you're wrong. Actually it's the opposite: since service pack 1 it shows that you have 4GB, but it doesn't use it. The real limit varies, because 32 bit is actually limited to 4GB of memory, but the other components use it too (i guess that's video card, but not sure), while 64-bit is limited to something above 30GB 84GS is supposed to be PCI-e so these card should fit. but.. It looks like 9500GT doesn't exist. If you mean 9600GT, that's a good card, would make your pc a little bit more future proof. 8600GT is a bit old and cheap too, but if you get it you will get to play crysis without changing any other parts. However, don't even dream about high settings. [/hide] I remember that i've read about 4gb on Vista 32-bit. But i cannot remember the link, and i'm too lazy to search it. But anyways.. I'm not a big Vista user so maybe i shouldn't comment that. 9500 start existing on the 29th of July at a price below 100$. http://sweclockers.com/nyhet/7994-nvidi ... erar_inte/

More than 1 Graphics Card?
Yep, but if you want way better value for the money, (if you play newer games...) Nvidia 9500GT (successor to 8600GT), it performs about 20% faster than 8600GT^^ But if you don't plan on running new games then 8400GS is a good choice. It will have no problems with Halo 1 or RSHD.

More than 1 Graphics Card?
For a Geforce card you need an SLI-ready motherboard. And in my opinion a dual-gpu performs better than 2+ cards in SLI. Furthermore, your card cannot run SLI (8400 x 2). And you can probably run Crysis (with 7-10fps?) if you put the resolution down to 800x600 and everything on low and setting your card on performance (vs smoothness), my guess is it would still perform very bad. If you want to play new games and not set every setting down the lowest, you'll need to get a better card. 8400GS is fine for movies, older games, surfing.. etc. But it's not really meant to be a gaming card. From what i can see you already have 3gb of RAM. MS has stated that if you put in 4gb into Vista 32-bit, even tho you don't see the whole amount, the unseen amount is being used. But since you can't really play (new) games with this card, 3gb is fine. Even if you're playing some older stuff, you won't experience a serious boost. If you want to run Crysis on high detail, a card like ATI 3870/4850/4870/4870x2 or Nvidia 9600GT/8800GT/9800GTX/9800GTX x2... etc.. is needed.

Before i answer the other questions, please mention what your graphic card is now? I don't see it in that picture.
