Hands-On with Windows 7
Posted 01/25/2009 at 08:50:46am
I have uninstalled Windows 7 for now so I can play my games. I tried running Fallout 3 in Windows 7 and it crashed every 2 minutes. I did get STALKER Clear Sjy installed but it would never open so I couldnt play it. So for now I am sticking with what has worked for me....VISTA. Hopefully Microsoft gets the bugs worked out for gamers.
How to get the Windows 7 Public Beta
Posted 01/13/2009 at 10:27:05am
Other than a couple of crashes (which I expect with Beta testing) I am very impressed with and like Windows 7. I like pretty much everything I am seeing thus far. I am running it with an Intel Core i7 processor and 3 GB of DDR3 RAM and it is very fluid and stable. Boots up and shuts down in less than 30 seconds. Plays Fallout 3 superbly. I can't wait for the finished product. I know its early but I think Microsoft may have finally gotten it right this time.
Nvidia GeForce GTX 295

Holy crap!! The Nvidia and ATI fanboys (and fangirls) need to take a step back from each other and return to your corners. Who cares who is a fan of either company? I have had ATI and Nvidia cards (both great and crappy). I have been using an Nvidia 8800 GT for a year now. It has been a great workhorse. I just built a Core i7 machine and put that card in it until I had the money to buy a high end card. I have reached that goal and ordered a GTX 295 from Newegg yesterday purely based on the specs and reviews I have read on numerous sites. And yes I am sure in a couple of months ATI and/or Nvidia will have new cards out that blow the GTX 295 out of the water. All of us enthusiasts know how it goes in the BYOC world when it comes to hardware. We all know that if we keep holding out for the next best thing we would all still be running GeForce 7900's or X1950XTX's. You can't hold out forever.
All of this harsh back and forth between the Nvidia and ATI groupies is idiotic at best. Buy what you want and can afford. The hating on people that spend their hard earned money and pay $500 (like myself) is wasted energy. I have been saving money for 6 months to be able to buy the GTX 295.
One more thing....please use spell check and read over what you type before posting. The spelling and grammar I have seen is atrocious (that means bad).
Peace out everyone.
