I don't see anywhere on that website saying that its meant for gaming. You can try it but don't be surpried if it doesn't work well. The webpage doesn't even post avg latency or seek times. These drives are not made for that

The microphone jack in the back of your computer should be pink so just plug the jack into that. That should be all but if that doesn't work, search the internet for a driver for your headset.

Also you might have more luck getting answers in the hardware forum.

To me this just sounds like a bad situation waiting to happen.

Building a pc is a hobby and you need to do a lot of homework, not just pick out parts in 3 hours. I took me weeks to figure out what I wanted in my pc.

Also pc gaming will never be cheaper than consoles if you want to play games on high graphics settings. Upgrading costs a lot of money for top end stuff. Personally I spend about $1000 a year on components which will buy you 2 ps3's or 3 xbox's every year.

Of course you do need a pc anyways so if you buy a mid range one (about $1000 or so) you can play games pretty well for the next 2-3 years doing little to upgrade it but don't think you will be playig the latest and greatest games on high settings.

I've been in many betas and I attribute most of them to being mature on the application, having a good rig and of course previous experience does help. Beta testing free MMORPGs is a good way to get experience or you could...lie....Toriko42

I played several open beta's to get experience for the closed ones. I agree about having a lot of experience and a good rig though. THe bottom line is that not everyone can get in. Also if your really desparate you can pay for fileplanet since they get free beta keys all the time. I don't like paying for demo's personally so what I do is when keys are released exclusively to sites like fileplanet I go to the european sites since they are ussually free.

I like Guild Wars. The sequel is coming out soon and you should pick it up. No monthly fee and great graphics, along w/ lots of monsters to kill and stuff to do. It's a skill-based game, so you reach the level cap fairly early in the game...Nerkcon

1.Guild Was is not a MMO, everything is instanced. a MMO is when hundreds or even thousands of players can see and interact with each other, even in caves and hunting grounds.

2.It's not free to play it's buy to play. And yes it is a big difference. A lot of free to play MMOs could be better if they got a guarantee income from people trying it at least once.

If your going to be snobish then why ask for advise? The real answer is to pay the fee and get a real game that's production value and entertainment far exeed any free mmo. Most mmo's cost $15 a month which is essentially just 2 hours of work at minimum wage a month. Isn't the two little hours worth playign a real game and not someone's undergrad programming final.
