That's the advertised rate. My rate is advertised as 15Mb (megabits) per second as well, but I receive about 800KB/s on average.

Cable is not a constant nor predictable rate. But yes, in short, the US has pretty terrible ISPs and infrastructure.

It goes with being the first -- we now have the oldest infrastructure because we were the first to fully implement it. Shame we can't keep up, really.

You make some really solid points, but I think many of them can be cross-linked to other former-leaders as well, unfortunately.

FINALYL a game that's completely my style. I love games with focus on content and simple graphics.

I've never been a big fan of these games, but I do like the idea of more quality/well-known titles moving to the 3DS.

Ha, yeah, agreed. Some of those content mods do a great job at writing new game content, though.

A waste of time? What? Because staring at a female comprised entirely of pixels and code isn't a waste of time?

Some of the content mods in that total overhaul are INSANE. It's amazing how modders can create an entirely new game out of something else. There are also some pretty damn good mechanics and graphics overhauls in there, too.

Heh, sort of silly art. Definitely not my kind of game - not in the least, but interesting art nonetheless.

Oh, good point, I forgot that components tend to be much more expensive in the UK/Europe.

I prefer Cooler Master cases myself, but I am a fan of Corsair and Rosewill also. There are way too many good options lately... it's tough to choose, but that's a good thing :D

I'm always so mixed about Disney titles. I think I've played maybe two Disney titles and about a dozen horrid ones. Those movie ones are always the worst, of course.

That's the exact same price. $130 = 81 quid.

Thanks. Reported him as spam...

I'll only play it if I'm allowed to roll around on the ground screaming, then get up when no one notices and keep playing :P

An overlooked game that is absolutely worth playing! Especially for TES fans.

Where's the farting unicorn from Red Faction? :P

What a disappointment. I love exploration games and I love puzzle games, so I thought this looked like it had potential to be my next 'Myst.'

If by "obsolete in a few months" you mean "several hundred percent better performing than a console," then you're correct.

You may want to skip the words and jump to the pretty graphics, they do a good job at explaining it.

Actually, they are going to go somewhere. AMD announced about a month ago that they're pulling out of high-end gaming CPUs/computing and re-investing their efforts in APUs and the mobile device market.

The bad part about this is that there'll be less competition in the gaming CPU market, which means prices are more chaotic and will go unchecked. The good side is that mobile computing will have more competition and hopefully advance more rapidly than previously project...

Not sure if it was sarcasm, I'll pretend it is since it was so daft. Considering the power of the video card alone in this build is about 12x what a PS3 discreet chip can produce, I'd say $550 is quite good.

I personally prefer Intel's i3-2120 and would recommend it to anyone that has an extra ~$40 ($20 more for a motherboard + $20 more for the CPU).

In this instance, though, AMD has managed to recoup some of their losses and fix a lot of the initial issues. The i3-2120 performs slightly better (about 10%) than the Bulldozer and is preferable for gaming, but if you're using any applications that utilize more than 4 synchronous cores (the i3 has 4 threads due to hyperthrea...
