Why do games not have that big global chat thing anymore like they used too? I rember when I first started playing games they would have chat rooms for everyone then you moved off into a room to play. Then they started up those multiplayer gameing sites like mplayer, gamespy, and the msn zone. Still all of those had chat rooms. But now its so rare in the games I come across to find any. Its not that I want to chat so much but I do miss the back and forth, and how you would learn peoples names and make friends or start clans so easy because there was that little chat thing. Now everything seems to have a very impersonal matchmakeing system, throw you in a game, never learn who your playing with, and then back out again to repeat. I miss the good old days.

i ran chkdsk and it listed 9 errors really quicky and shut down, it wont stay open long enough for me to read it though. Do you think i should call up the computer company i got it from and see if they will replace the hard drive?

I just got a asus g50vt for $1200 on new egg. they have good specs and play games right now good. they also come with a 2 year parts coverage and 1 year drop coverage included in that price. plus i had a gateway notebook and swore never to get one again from them it was crap and cheaply made.

can a bad hard drive cause corrupt files at start up? This computer is new and i really hope they didn't ship it with crap parts. something is wrong and its either vista x64 or the hhd and i can't tell. All i've done on here is install steam and a game or 2 from there, combat arms, go to this site and really thats it, I surf and do email on my other comp.

I don't really understand what a L2 cache is, but if two cpu's are identical in every other way but the L2 cache (one is 3mb the other 6mb) is the diffrence in cache size enough to justify paying $300 more dollars?

I'd say it was personal preference. do you like sci-fi or historical games more? i've played both and i love both. download the demo's and try them out. right now I lean towards DoW2 because i'm more into the sci-fi thing, and the assault marines are bad ass.
