Wow, finally! Now you can get a digital copy of Battlefield 3 from Amazon for $10.

Battlefield 3 $10.00

Of course it is using Origin to install & launch your game, but still... good deal!

Hi all!

I've put off figuring out how to save e-mail from an old install so I can put them into Thunderbird in a new install. I've found an import button, but if that works like Firfox it will over write what I want to save.

Normally I could care less, but Patti have a mess of mission critical e-mail I have to save before dumping her old install.

Right now just any way to copy the e-mails text or restore it into TB in e-mail form will do!!

Just some stats from Amazon about how many games for each system:

Which one do you think I'm voting on?

PlayStation 4 (11)
PlayStation 3 (10,744)
Xbox 360 (12,892)
Wii (11,154)
Wii U (1,142)
PC (31,941)
Mac (2,651)
Nintendo DS (18,487)
Nintendo 3DS (3,576)
PlayStation Vita (1,716)
Sony PSP (10,999)
More Systems (35,700)
Digital Games (5,232)

Notice "More Systems" and "Digital Games" have a lot of PC compatible games too.

PC Games win again!

Problem appears to be solved -- YAY!

=================================== LATER ==================================================

Well, it was nice while it lasted, I actually got through the bios settings and was letting it boot for the first time off the boot hard drive (already installed WinXP), and it barely got the XP splash screen displayed when it seemed to collapse and blue screened, babbling about viruses or whatever. I then tried to restart it (power push button) and it's dead. Tried connecting an Athlon 64 motherboard to the supply (would previously at least spin the HSF fan), but it's dead too. Looks like my 650W Antec Truepower Trio power supply died -- I thought that was a quality piece?

So, now it appears I need a new power supply -- darn, I was counting on that 650W Antec to have me covered for this build! As soon as the hard drive started working, the supply apparently collapsed :(! Any recommendations for a reliable power supply that won't destroy my wallet?

(Checked the processor temp before the boot attempt and it was holding 45C, glad it wasn't trying to do anything serious!)

If you are a fan of Dungeons and Dragons, then you will be a fan of Neverwinter.
Do not confuse Neverwinter with NW Nights, this is a full-fledged-in-all-its-glory Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game....
I'm not a huge fan of MMO's but when they are free and Role Playing, I can't resist!

Neverwinter website

Levels are massive and visuals are stunning! Download the 3 Gigabyte client and it will run in PlayOnLinux with some tweaks & components:

• Wine 1.5.25
• d3dx9
• ie8
• tahoma

Neverwinter Client


Remember, Neverwinter is still Beta, so they will be shutting down servers on a regular basis for updating. Sadly, they updated over the weekend and it erased my character, hopefully this won't be a common problem.

This is pretty cool. To me, the physics aren't astounding, but the soundtrack is awesome...

Seems to me all the application I run into/use are written 32 bit. In what ways would I benefit from installing a 64 bit OS?

Last time I built new machines was for crunching SETI roughly ten years ago. Unfortunately, although fun for awhile, the local electricity rate increases and monthly electric bills were killing me, so I stopped. Result was I've had more than adequate computing power for quite awhile, no need at all for further building, but recently, I thought it would be interesting to take a look at what's happening today :)!

Last time I looked, AMD was the brand new king-of-the-hill with the Athlon 64 X2 (about to build a fab plant in Dresden), and some folks in Israel had come up with something called Core-Duo and it was making inroads on the mobile market. I'm now taking a look today and well, well, how the world turns! AMD is now barely surviving and Intel has been riding roughshod over them ever since the success of Core-Duo in the desktop market. Wow!

So, once again AMD is the dark horse with the lowest prices and there's been enough advancement since I built my X2 crew that I've the itch to build a new cruncher. I realize I should probably wait for Steamroller for best results, but chances are it'll cost a lot more and so I decided to jump in now with a used FX4300 Vishera (Piledriver) bought online at a healthy discount (Socket 939 HSF fits AM3+)! Since I've plenty of PATA hard drives on my shelf, I'd prefer to be able to use them, so I want a motherboard that supports IDE as well as SATA. I'm also interested in things like USB 3.0, and the latest SATA updates, but have no interest in CrossfireX and SLI. They're for serious gaming and my last planned gamer upgrade is an AGP Radeon 4650 (ordered from China) with my freshly installed Athlon 64 X2 4200+ with a 10% o/c -- don't know what the 4650 will do, but my current is an o/c'd 9800 Pro VIVO.

Placed an order with Newegg in the wee hours of Thursday AM and today my new motherboard and RAM arrived -- Asrock 980DE3/U3S3 and 4GB G.Skill DDR3 1600. In case you haven't noticed, this is a budget build. The board has decent o/c facilities and the Piledriver core is highly clockable, so I'm expecting to have a lot of performance flexibility. I've ordered a budget video card, a refurbished XFX Radeon 6670 2GB GDDR3 which I'm expecting to be easily adequate for minor fooling around on a cruncher (though the combination may well be more capable than my designated gamer, whatever :)).

Turns out, outside of evicting a happy FIC VA-503+ board from its cozy mini-tower, my only available cabinet is an old ZEOS full tower that once housed a forward thinking pre-PCI ZEOS MB and most recently an Asus (contained a slew of PATA drives and was my core machine for years). Given the huge SATA drives available today and the very modest size of this Asrock board, that seems the perfect housing for it (overstated). The quad-core Vishera will become my core's core, serving files to other PCs and crunching video.

Step one? Securing the Asrock motherboard into the ZEOS cabinet -- the fun has begun :)!

I got a Raspberry Pi from my wife. This little computer is about the size of a credit card. It does not look like much but is a real true to life computer. Very easy to set up and looks to be a lot of fun. It runs on a version of linux. I am making a post at this time on it!
