Hey everyone, my brother is in need of a new laptop and has come to me for recommendations. Now figuring out what spec he needs is no problem for me, what I have a problem with is I have no idea which brands I should avoid/prefer. And since there's no real way to narrow down his options without...

Hi all, This morning I decided I may as well add my old GTX 260 into my PC to fold on since my PC was perfectly capable of handling a second GPU and my 260 was doing nothing. My PC was originally folding on an i5 750 and GTX 580 perfectly fine. I am using the v7 client and added an extra slot...

Not yet available to the consumer from what I can tell. But in short you need a Z77 board with a BIOS with RAID Option ROM 11.5 or higher, IRST driver 11.5 or higher and 2 SSDs with functioning TRIM. This works with Windows 7 as well as 8 (check page 4 of the below report). Report done by Real...

Similar to what was done a few months ago with Assassin's Creed, when you pre-order Darksiders II on OnLive you will recieve a coupon for a free OnLive Game System. I took advantage of this same deal when the system was offered with an Assassin's Creed pre-order, you only have to pay the £6...

Have graphics card manufacturers/resellers always made adverts like this?

I'm sure most of the people on the forums have seen or heard of the Gigabyte G1 series motherboards with their gun themed heatsinks. I didn't mind them at the start because the motherboards came packed with so many features and there was clearly some thought behind how the heatsink was styled...

Hey everybody. New joystick arrived yesterday, got it all set up, then tried playing a bit of the BF3 beta just now and discovered the joystick is already bound for on foot movement controls, which I hate! I was wondering if there was any way to clear key bindings in BF3, I've tried messing...

As there was an LD rep on the forums I decided to hold off on the info incase they announced it but I couldn't hold off any longer. LD announced a couple of days ago on Facebook that the online shop is now ready for use. Find it here.

Hello once again everybody. At some point this morning my sound card 'disappeared' according to Windows. I checked device manager and sure enough it wasn't listed under audio or other devices. Looked through the side panel and noticed the name on the side wasn't lit up as it usually is. I've...
