.......all those "PSV>3DS. 3DS=FAIL. NIN=DOOOM." types are eating their words(just like they did when PSP failed to knock Nintendo off it's handheld throne).El_Zo1212o

You mean all those kids that can't afford anything else after blowing their allowance on one console? "Oh my opinion is better than yours let me shove it down your throat."

Sadly, we were all there once, at some point.

I'm disappointed in the screen size. Yeah, small complaint, I know. But it's enough to make me hold out for the inevitable "new version". I love my DS Lite and think it is miles above what the DS Phat was.

[QUOTE="Adam_the_Nerd"]Turn off AA, SSAO, UberSampling. Increase your texture memory beyond Medium (stopping at Large) because you have a 1GB Card. Reduce view distance to something that is both reasonable for you and not unreasonably resource intensive! Keep most things on medium. Consider getting a little bit more RAM. topgunmv

Very large only reserves 600mb for textures.

Going too high on a 1GB card leaves no memory for other processes. It can actually negatively impact performance if you max the graphics memory usage. Because what you're saying is to dedicate XXXX MB to textures and only textures. If some other effects or processes come along that need more memory they'll have no where to go! They'll have to wait (lag). Never go beyond half of what you have. Same goes for using the "heapsize" function in source engine games or allocating RAM for others.

My router config page shows an ASCII WEP key AND a translation labeled as "key 1" and that's the one I have to give to about half my guests.

My laptop did the same thing. Usually it wants a certain key. Example: your ASCII (regular character) WEP key is 123456. It wants the computer version of that key. So 123456 might show up as 13oadhg801. YOU NEVER KNOW. Use a translator online or try searching your router config settings for a translation.

a 32" TV in 480p didn't look bad 3 or 4 years ago when most things weren't HD, but with the advent of widescreen content, I'd say that a 26" is much better. That said, a 32" TV would be really nice for gaming in a small room and it's usually a $50-75 difference in price between the two sizes.

I've been dreaming of Age of Mythology 2 since elementary school. Unfortunately, it's a dream that will go unrealised. With Micro$oft closing down Ensemble and going full console mode, I don't thing they'll ever release a true PC game ever again.

Never say never. Look at TF2 or Diablo 3 or... Duke Nukem, heh.
