Good call. I disabled Ad Block and the pricing info popped up after a quick reload.

If it wasn't for the issues with Flash and companies like Palm (they won't put out a 64bit driver for their USB sync cable) I would have 0 complaints about my experience with Win 7 64.

Where is Dark Knight 2.0 when you need him?

Man, I love the Theif games.  Now, if only they would get to work on a new Legacy of Kain, too...

I would pre-order this second if I knew if they were cribbing much of the story from Fallout's predecessor, the Vegas (and region) based Wasteland.  Man, I loved that game.

Wow, what a trip down memory lane.  Could have mentioned the early Pentium floating point error, but whatever.  Still great.

The Did You Know for Sempron seems to disagree with the section on Athlon XP regarding what the Athlon XP is rated against.

The website shows a screen cap of it playing Big Bunnyon MPC with far less than 90% utilisation. http://www.habeyusa.com/images/cpumkv_big.jpg

There was no branch rigging in the original Far Cry.  That was part of the xbox port of the game.

I've looked closely at the stardock offerings because I'm a Sins... owner, but I've never understood what appears to be their main business.  Rebuilding the OS user experience?  Maybe it's because I'm from DOS, but I don't see any OS problem that I can't work around for free.  All these shells don't seem to offer anything new.

this could make a great storage drive to complement a speedy SSD or Velociraptor.
Better yet, it sounds perfect for a low profile HTPC.  With the (somewhat) impending DTV switch coming, it would be nice to have a renewed focus on HTPCs.  My parents, for instance, have a HDTV but they still love their VCR.  That VCR love is starting to evaporate because they've added a stand alone digital tuner between it and the antenna.  So, to tape Dancing with the Stars or Murder She Wrote or whatever, they have to set the VCR to record channel 3 at the proper date and time and remember to change the stand alone tuner to the proper channel and leave it on.  All this for poor quality that is in stark contrast to the picture they could have gotten by watching the show live.  An HTPC could solve all of their woes, but an improper build out can cause just as many, the over-priced pre-built ones aren't worth it, and just grabbing any old "Media Center" PC off the shelf could leave them with a loud heater that takes up too much space.
