Re: new laptop hard drive

in Milliways
Seconded. While I'm willing to continue with spinning disks as primary drives in old systems, as long as they live, I see no reason to go with anything that's not an SSD, if I am to buy one now.

Re: Big Box PC Games – Show and Tell

in Milliways
Small box but with a special significance (to me). Got this today in a bundle of other small box games. TBH This was the main one I waited. Silent Hill 2 Directors Cut PC is a hard to get game in general, and generally considered the best way to play it on modern hardware (using the Enhanced …

Correct, games that require more refined steering would probably benefit from an analog-capable input device. In contrast, a keyboard is well enough for NFSII and most probably NFSIII. I'd really like to give the first NFS a go with a steering wheel though, the problem is I can't get it to run …

Re: What game are you playing now?

NFSIII doesn't really strike to me as something where a steering wheel would help, maybe it's making things harder for you even if using it is fun. Could be, NFSIII is pedal to the metal 99% of the time, so a keyboard is more than adequate to win I guess. Still, I'm hell-bent on beating it with a ( …

Re: Best Core 2 chipset?

Have a Asus P5QL P41 with CoreDuo E8400 Geforce 9700. Is rock solid XP/7 machine for 15 years. Will really be depressed, if it will break someday. Hope it serves you long and well. My Core 2 system went through two P5Q PROs, and is currently on a low-end Gigabyte G41 board, just to work, sort of. I …

Re: Windows vista 32bit vs XP 32bit

in Windows
That's an interesting story. Thanks for sharing! I suppose I would also leave Windows 7 behind if my last PC running it broke. That desktop is still up and running, although currently with a temporary motherboard as the original P5Q PRO is currently dead . I also have a Thinkpad X220 laptop dual- …

Re: Windows vista 32bit vs XP 32bit

in Windows
No point in running Vista these days. Either XP or Win7. Vista is a lady, a queen. And she's majestic, has grace. 👑 .. and by SP2, she's almost as capable as Windows 7. She has support for DX11, as well, with the Platform Update. You're preaching to the choir here... I ran Vista all the way until …

Re: What game are you playing now?

in Milliways
just finished Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness Orcs, Humans or both? Are you going to play the expansion (Beyond the Dark Portal)? Now my hands are almost itching to start on the Price of Loyalty expansion campaigns immediately, but I know I probably need a break from the game. So I took a couple of …
