I just got back and the T-Mobile deal is still there. $10 for the SIM card, then $3 per day for unlimited data. Unlimited in the sense of 200MB at 3G, the rest at edge speeds. You can also quickly change your package to something else and back again to unlock another 200MB at 3G speeds in the...

Thanks, I'll definitely check that out! E3 would be great, but the timing doesn't quite work out :( Have no idea on the chances of buying my way into the show floor either, can't imagine it's easy at all.

Spending a few days in LA soon (never been before) and don't know anyone who has been and I'm looking for interesting things to do out there. What are the most enjoyable things that you did/saw when you were out there? I like photography, so will probably be looking for good opportunities for...

Me too, I have a 3 months for $10 code that's up for grabs (code is a one-use type thing so I can't post it here - pm me)

I've just gone through the (slightly scary) task of totting up my addiction and it's not so bad. It's clear to see that most of my purchases are now $0 as a result of reduced annual subscriptions and the $40 rebate each year (annual subs typically cost $99 and you get $40 back by racing a...

My character doesn't descriminate; slept with a guy, slept with a girl (no robot action though!)

Bah. Installed Win7, started installing the mobo driver CD gubbins and also included AI Suite II in that (quite like the ability to overclock via Windows). On reboot the application 'terminates unexpectedly' over and over again (well, each component of the AI Suite, there are about 6)...

The E8400 confuses the hell out of me, it costs more to buy today than it did when I bought mine two and a half years ago. It's a PC component, the value is supposed to drop like a rock two years later!

Started with a 80386SX/40Mhz that my Dad bought me. Was lucky to get an upgrade on the 40MB hard drive to 130MB. Was incredibly jealous of the 80486 powerhouses, a DX2/66Mhz was highly sought after but never had. Ended up with a poxy AMD DX4/100Mhz which sounded much better but I can't recall...

I've had some nightmares with my new 6970 too. Somehow it's giving me less FPS in F1 2010 than the card it replaced, a 6850. And some benchmarks in iRacing are also slower. Very odd stuff going on.

Sapphire does like you say and I believe PowerColor "probably" does - reviews show that it is included in the box, but the PowerColor website has (optional) after it, so its inclusion cannot be 100% guaranteed. XFX definitely don't include it, as is the case for HIS.

I think the Powercolor 6970 might have the mini DP -> DP converter too, their website says (optional) but I'd expect it to be in the box.

The Sapphire is one of the few cards to include a mini DP->DP converter too.

Is this a Megaton?!

Sounds like MLAA is on in the Catalyst Control Panel.

Hi, My last card (4870x2 running Cat 9.9's) was able to apply AA to any game running in window mode (this was how I used to take screenshots for things like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qx3RClNkdtE). Installed a 6850 this week, installed Cat 10.10's and absolutely cannot get AA applied...

Indeed. Let's press him for an answer.

There are worse things to collect!

It's weird reading threads like this. When someone says 'my first PC was a 486 DX2/66' my first emotion is jealousy! I'm conditioned to forever think that spec is godly, as it was when I was getting into this stuff. My 386sx40 was just so much slower it hurt. I'm quite glad my first PC...

There's one FWD but it'll be a good match I think. It's a VW Jetta, FWD with 170bhp.
