I'm pretty sure it was arrow keys, but I made a mistake in my first post, I'm a bit older than I thought, going through wikipedia, I found out that my first computer games were way older than Doom and wolf, they were : Dark castleon mac (1986), Loom (1990), Dragon's Lair (1990) and Glider (1991)...which were so simple that the arrow keys were probably used instead of wsad.

I am too waiting for may...at first, I wanted to wait until july but I just can stand anymore my 5 years old crappy dell xps. You can wait if you want for better prices but in the end, you will end up like me...waiting forever, cause every 3-6 months, new technology appears and price drops happen.

By the way, I read that new core i7 will arrive in may but only to replace the 940 and the 965, the 920 wont be touched. So in may I'm getting a core i7 920 which I will overclock to 3,4 (I'm a noob too in computers but it's really easy : lookat this http://pietschsoft.com/post/2008/11/Intel-Core-i7-920-Initial-Thoughts-Overclocking-Windows-Vista.aspx), 6 gig of 1333 ram and probably a gtx 285 (I know they will release a GTX 300 in fall or in early 2010 but like I said, you'll never buy anything if you want to wait for better technology...and also, I want to be able to play all my favorite games in max settings during summer vacations)

Hi,

the first FPS PC games I've played when I was young (I'm 26 now) where Doom and wolfenstein 3D and I was wondering what were the default controls ?? Were we supposed to play with the arrows or the WSAD keys ??....

I'm asking this question cause all my life (and even now) I've used the arrows to play FPS on the PC. And since now the WSAD keys are the default settings, I just can not understand why moving with the arrows is so strongly implanted in my brain that I'm not willing to use the WSAD keys....

Is it something I learned back in the days while playing the granddaddies of modern FPS (where controls were pretty simple and could be done with the arrows and a mouse: forward, backward, left, right, fire, action, change weapon and that's pretty much about it I think). ???

I've already post this question on the overclocking union board but nobody answered so i'm giving it a try here...

So, i'm a bit confused about overclocking and ram for the i7. I want to buy a core i7 in june, probably a 920, which I will overclock to maximum 3,2 ghz and I was wondering what type of memory do I need? Do I really need 1600 Hz Ram or 1333 is alright...if 1600 hz is the one, 9-9-9-24 is a good timing or i need 8-8-8-20 ? Sorry if it sounds stupid but I really dont know much about overclocking and ram

thanks
