Yet another online company that will not deal with Europe <sigh> Don't they know that the Internet is global?

Yup, it is a shame people don't realise the tinternet is global.  But then they go on about taxes and such...

Just EU and UK screwed over again in the global game's industry thing

Not that this is really the place for this, but I would love to get some opinions from people more experienced at building PCs than myself. I do desktop support at my company, so I have a good general knowledge of pc hardware. I have not however built my own pc before. After reading through this post, I started looking at newegg.com for possible components. I just want a decent gaming pc at an affordable price. How does secure.newegg.com/Shopping/ShoppingCartPrintVersion.aspx look?

Thanks in advance for any opinions or suggestions.

Erm, it says your shopping cart is empty (unless I did something wrong)

umm sorry vista is still a horrible OS even if you know the ins and outs of computers. I have 2 guild members plagued with the BSD

Vista is cursed...and guarantee you it will be replaced or had have a MAJOR overhaul before xp stops getting support in 2014. If it wasn't for DX10 Vista would have been dead and buried already.

 

Whatever!  I have been using Vista since it went public and with a few driver issues at first .. it has been running smooth ever since.  Vista had less problems than XP when it came out.  But I am sure you wont believe me.  I honestly dont care, I just wanted to make sure others know that Vista DOES work

lol....classic, heres a cookie

Vista had less bugs than XP? 2 years on it still has bugs and compatability issues and requires 15% more CPU and RAM than XP - Vista doesn't work which is why 86% still use XP.

The ONLY reason more people use XP than Vista still is that since the birth of Vista the majority of people are now only JUST upgrading their PC.  99% of newly bought PC's (ie family or run of the Mill shop bought - which is a huge % of the market) will be shipped with Vista of one flavor or another.

Vista prices have just been slashed so another reason to buy it...

The majority of NON computer literate people I speak to have NO problems running Vista so I'm sure seasoned Pro's won't have any.  Do you?

All in all Vista takes PC useage to another level.  Damn, I don't even have to remember DOS anymore o.0

One bad ass lookin' Alienware computer: $2500

 

Alienware's just a big name brandname now and arent particularely good compared to anything else, you are payin for the name, what

 

As for the topic, I am glad devs are making games for the future, not games that will be outdated and craptastic in 2 years.  I'm sure most of you have played the older mmos out there.. ao, eq, etc etc.. do we want our current mmos to look that way to us in a few years as the technology vastly outdoes anything we have today?  I prefer they make the games to be ahead of the curve. 

 

Today's 2000$ rig will be next years 150$ flee market bargain item.

 

Alienware used to make top notch high end PC's for a moderate price.  Now all they do is sell half decent PC's at a top end price going off the back of their once great product...

I hope AOC will be a futureproof MMO as far as one can get.  There is too many today that do not hold my attention for a great length of time or I go and comeback when I'm less bored

I can't believe how many people still diss Vista.  I run Vista Ultimate 64 Bit and it far out performs the 32 Bit brother and as for XP...  I have it on a partition but rarely use it.

 

If there are people worried about Vista I would suggest partition a HDD and have them all.  Hell while you are at it install a real OS and put on Linux

 

Hell, Vista is sooo easy it does everything for you.  The only problems start to occur with Vista is if your system is outdated by a number of years

or get a display driver BSD which there is no fix for now matter how much you try...go ahead..search it out. If you find a fix....please let me know!

I don't need to search for a fix - mine aint broke
