Well since getting my laptop with an E450 which plays things like COD MW and L4D2 reasonably well, the A8-3850 should suffice for most current games at 720p which will be fine on my 37" TV, really not coming close to using the horsepower of my 2500k at 4.6ghz whatsoever, don't even encode these days as I have my PC hooked up to my xbox for streaming and a direct connection to the TV via hdmi for anything the xbox won't play

cheesy999 · Feb 26, 2012, 02:39 PM

Can any of you help me?

I got my old copy of red alert out and tried to play it, and all that happens is a little message comes up telling me windows can only run x86 or x64 software

is there a way to fix this?

Have you tried setting a compatibility mode?

Yes, I set it to windows 95 (the system requirement) and it didn't change a thing

I don't see why it shouldn't run

as far as I'm aware I meet all the requirements
75Mhz proccesor
8MB of Ram
1MB Video Card
Direct X 3

Hmmm... might just be too old. You'll probably find someone who has got it working via Google.

So who in the right mind would buy a 500Gb hard drive for £257.99 and not a penny less...

Logitech MX Performance mouse, 1 year, how much would you pay for one of those? I am thinking that I should be paying £20-40 for it, but not too sure exactly how much.

Points of reference: £70 if I buy new form Logitech, and G700 is £57 from Amazon.

FreedomEclipse · Mar 1, 2012, 02:37 PM

the MX currently £42.99 from argos

though if the G700 can be had for £57 then id just go with that instead

Well, if I am cooking might as well cook for my flatmates to get points. I get to flame them when they annoy me

Bo$$ · Mar 1, 2012, 11:39 PM

cooking for girls only, people may get the wrong idea..

Tatty_One · Mar 2, 2012, 04:16 PM

Don't cook period, even for girls.... it's not that i can't but they get so much moar good stuff with me they can do the cooking

Currently debating if its worth getting an SSD for my laptop. probably will be a 128Gb one.

MoonPig · Mar 5, 2012, 07:42 PM

£110 then?

Go 60GB for like £60/£70.

FreedomEclipse · Mar 5, 2012, 07:50 PM

yeah.... since the laptop only supports Sata II, I was looking at getting a OCZ Agility 3 or Petrol.

120Gb Agility 3 costs less then £100.

bit pointless getting a M4 for this as i cant use it at its full potential
