There's an absolutely enormous difference between a Core i3 and a Pentium Dual Core. I'm not normally a fan of HP, but given these two choices I would go with the i3. And yes, HD movies demand a lot of processing power, especially in 1080p.

It's like a real life version of counter-strike or modern warfare just walking to the store to get groceries. Everyone in America has a gun and we spend all our time shooting at each other. Even the most minor of arguments are settled with pistol duels, with losers being left to die in the streets since healthcare is for the weak and socialists. The only time we don't have our guns in hand is at the dinner table, and even then if someone doesn't say grace or puts their elbows on the table, they get shot in the face.

G4 was one of my favorite channels back in around 2004-2005, before they decided to be Spike's clone. I miss coming home from middle school and watching Arena and then two episodes of good X-Play. :'(

And Spike is, for lack of a better word, retarded.

I wasn't quite as blown away by it as I was by the first game, but it's still incredibly fun and well worth $6.

G4 seems to play Chronicles of Riddick in an endless loop. I have no idea why. It was an unbelievably awful movie.

Sade is always good.

Did they ever get GTA4 running better? I heard it ran like garbage even on high end PCs, and that an i7 is practically a requirement to get it running smoothly.

Sad to see so many people pirating ME2.:(

Well I did the best I could to support BioWare - I purchased the game and all of the DLCs.:)

The Mass Effect games are among my all time favorites, and I've been gaming since the 80s.

Black Ops hardly seems worth pirating. It's the kind of game someone could give me as a gift and I wouldn't waste my time with it. And I'm not sure why anyone would pirate BC2 since it's all about the multiplayer, and you need a legit copy to play online.

I always thought anyhting Vista is Windows 7 compatible...

I always worried about whether it is 32 or 64 bit compatible.

Good point. I really appreciated seeing "optimized for 64-bit" on the back of the box for DMC 4.

EA is selling it for $13.37, which isn't a bad price.

It's $6.80 on Steam. And it works perfectly in Win 7 64-bit. Hurry up though. It will be gone in 10 minutes.
