All you have to do is buy a copy on US Ebay and have it shipped here .... too easy. Or better yet, the gay classification (or lack thereof) makes it almost legitimate for us to pirate/torrent the game

If you talk to them long enough, after you do the things they say to do on your computer, they ask for your credit card details over the phone and they will 'send' you an antivirus program to get rid of all the scary things they tell you they have found on your pc. My old man listened to the whole scam when he was rung, just to figure it out.

Hoping you guys can help me.

I have the following PC I built about 3 years ago.

E8400

4GB DDR2 RAM

512MB HD4870

Native resolution on my monitor is 1680x1050

The problem I have is that The Witcher 2 is not running all that great even on the lowest settings.

I was considering buying a 1GB HD6870 graphics card for a touch over $200.

My question is. Will my CPU be able to take advantage of this card? Or am I at a point with my PC where I'm better off just building a whole new i7 machine?

If I get the graphics card and get another year out of the computer I'll be happy as I tend to get a new one ever 3 - 4 years.

Thanks guys

New video card will be fine. As long as ur mobo has a pci-ex 16 slot they'll synch up properly. Most games use very little cpu these days, preferring to offload it to the videocard, esp if its nvidia and has cuda and phys-x

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      My BMW E39 528i touring

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
