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

      Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
